depends what state mate.

In NSW once you are a pensioner you get one free rego(you pay CTP) and a free drivers licence.

I have no idea about other states.

Hi,

If you have a DVA card, you get 10% off rego  and driver's licence renewal if it is white and 100% off rego and licence renewal if it is gold.

The best bet is to check on line with the various road governing bodies - RTA, ACT Roads etc.  If you can't get a satisfactory answer, send them an email or call them.

Cheers

In NSW you can have the car in your name & the van in the wife's name for free rego. You only have to pay CTP on the car.

In Victoria I think it's nearly 50% off your car (not sure of the exact amount) but not the van (although van rego is minimal in Vic). If your partner has a car registered in his or her name and is eligible for a pension they get discounted rate also. Brenda

Hi Diggings

just checked your profile and I see you are up the road a bit from us.

so what I posted earlier is what you get.

Also, if you are not yet a pensioner when renewing your licence you can get a 50% discount for a good driving record.

according to qld gov concession booklet

if you hold a pcc issued after 1/7/1994 you are entitled to 50% reduction of the registration fee component of the total

registration amount payable. this equates to $140 on my colorado

this applies t  motorbikes/motor vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes /caravans  only one concession per couple

Not sure if it  only applies to returned vets or all pensioners but put rego the tug in one name and the van is the spouse and both regos are free  you still need a CTP for the tug  so it's the road tax that's free  NSW is by far the most expensive  place on the planet to rego anything will wheels tracks or skids   even a box trailer or boat trailer  is expensive  to rego   I believe Victoria is the cheapest

 Does not "motorised caravan" equate to "motorhome?"

Dave, you and your wife are allowed one free registration each year. It's up to you how you arrange them. If you have both vehicles registered in one name (eg your name) then you will have to arrange for one to be transferred to the other party.

If you need to transfer one registration then take both registration certificates and your wife down to the motor registry. You will generally find them very helpful these days.

If you have three vehicles then choose the lightest weight one to pay the registration on. NSW registration fees are based on weight. The lightest one will have the lowest registration fee. In this case each the heavier will have to be in separate names (ownership.)

In our case I own the tug (concessional registration,) the van is in the wifes name (concessional registration) and the wife owns the the small car (full fee registration.)

 For WA members, same applies, including weight criteria.   On WA Reg papers, campervans and motorhomes are shown as MOBCVN (Mobile Caravans).
