Driving Unregistered Cars - NSW ?????
Is there such a thing as a one day permit or something similar to allow you to drive an unregistered car from one location to another? If so how much
does this priviledge cost?
Im talking NSW, Im looking at buying a beetle and the easiest thing to do would be to drive it home (60km) if possible.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Brendan

two sorts.
1.letter of intent; just for taking the car to a workshop/place of repairs or for a rego check (if the place of repair is your garage you could
stretch it to that). You need on the letter, time, date, place you left, place you are going, breif outline of trip, name address License no etc. If
you have to drive the car for more than say 20min I wouldn't do this. Also the expectation is that the car is roadworthy.
2.Short term rego. You need it to have a pink slip and stuff. Not sure on cost. Safer if you have to drive it a distance.

Day permit rego is around $90. $20 is for the inspection smiliar to a rego check and $70 ish for the permit. I drove a bay camper from muswellbrook to
coffs this way.

When I drove an unregistered car that I had just bought from Queenbeyan to Canberra back in the early 80s, all I needed to do was to fit a set of home
made number plates that said TRAFFIC.
The RTA said that that was all I needed as long as I was also carrying the bill of sale and old rego papers.
Things must have changed since then.

Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you judge them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Might cost $120 or so to get a flat bed tow truck. How easy is that?

If you are driving it to the RTA to get it registered or to a registered workshop to get work done etc (i.e. blue slip/pink slip) then you are
permitted to drive (provided the car is road worthy). Things like letter of intent etc are worth nothing. There is no legal obligation for it and it
makes no difference to the Fuzz. You can get an unrego veh permit but this requires a pink slip and going to RTA to buy the permit (You need to
outline the route your travelling, dates etc on your permit). If you get caught driving unrego your looking about $1000.00 in fines. Best bet hire a
trailer for $80 from Kennards.

I didnt end up buying the beetle I was looking at but I got some feedback from the NSW RTA regarding one day permits, so for future reference here it
is:
"To apply for the permit you need to obtain a current Pink Slip (road
worthy) for the vehicle. You will need to attend an RTA motor
registry with your NSW drivers licence for identification and
complete an unregistered vehicle permit application form (as per
attached). If there is any number plates associated with the vehicle
you must hand them in.
You will need to nominate what day the permit starts and finishes and
what main roads you will be travelling on.
The permit itself costs $17 and the insurance will vary depending on
how long you want the permit for. As these permits are only designed
for a single journey from A to B, you should only need the permit for
1 or so days. If this is the case the insurance should be
approximately $8."
Thanks to all that responded to my enquiry
Cheers
Brendan
