hey people, i've seen this term pop up quite a bit recently and was wondering why people have their cars on 'cub regos'?
what are advantages and disadvantages of club regos? is it cheaper than normal regos? reason i ask is i have my xw on regular rego which costs a bucketload to rego every year and i only drive it once a month because i work away so if there is a way to save money on rego i would definitely take it. Help me save for a blower too ![]() |

Club rego is for cars over a certain age (pre 67 or is it 73??? cant remember lol).
They are for drivers who are a member of a recognised club. The club rego restricts the car to only go on outings that are endorsed or organised by the club. You can only drive your car on non club events if you need a service or for rego / repairs. (I think you can also stay within a 6km radius of your address for general driving like ducking up to the shops for the milk etc??). Insurance and rego are much cheaper, but you need to remember if it is worth if if you like to drive your car on more than the club runs. |

sounds good to me, i looked on the licensing website for WA and they have nothing about club rego's. Anyone in WA that can shed some light on this topic?
i've read that the rule now is you can drive your car for 90days every year, without it having to be a 'club run'. |

ok, finally got through to the WA licensing center... found out that the car must be over 25 years old and you must be a 'financial member' of a car club. You then need a letter from the club stating you are a financial member and every year the club must have an examiner check out your car for safety reasons. Simple as that.
As for my XW, i will end up paying $281/year for rego as opposed to $461 i pay at the moment. That's a huge saving!!! Only issue i have is they do not provide a list of clubs they officially recognize, as opposed to when i went for my CAMS lisence they had a list of clubs they did recognize. Does anyone in WA know of any clubs that help make club rego's nice and easy? |

AFAIK Club "rego" is actually an advanced version of an unregistered vehicle permit. Technically the car isn't registered, it's just allowed to travel on public roads under certain conditions. Most insurance places cover this. Just check the TAC insurance is covered somehow? (not sure about that one?)

geeez our state laws covering clud /historic rego are a basket case,over here in south aus the car must be 30years old then it costs about $125 per year ,you can only drive it for 90days and fill in a log book each time
Sound like you guys in W.A are paying cheaper car rego than us! i think wer paying close to $600 per year for normal rego(theiving ba#$teds) also Satria you will get a far better deal with insurance to .let your insurance company know cheers pat

You'll also find that club rego in WA only allows for unmodified cars. You can only fit accessories to the car that were available for that particular era. eg you cant put an EFI 5 litre in an XY and get club rego.
