QLD - Unregistered Vehicle Permints

[aurace]

has anyone in qld used the unregistered vehicle permits to transport their car around for compliance etc - as an alternative to towing everywhere?

just after an idea if this is possible..??

yes possible in the reason bit u say "needed to transport for mechanical work to be done"

I had a mate ask them about it for me this week. What you have to do is pay the complusary 3rd party on the car ($70 or so), then go to Qld Transport and get a permit to drive it round which costs about $20/day. However, the car will need to be complied before you can get a permit so i'll be getting my car towed from the docks to a compliance place in Brisbane, then drive it down to the Gold Coast to get the SC done.

You can do what neil_se is saying and get the day pass... Or better/cheaper you are best off just paying 6 months or 12 months CTP rather than the exxy short-term rate, which you're going to have to anyhow. This allows you to drive it around on the day you are getting it registered. So as long as you can get it to the compliance place (one tow - less than $100 hopefully), the rest you can do legally with minimal cost.

Technically, once it is complianced, you are allowed to drive directly to a place to get a roadworthy (or I assume roadworthy related items), and then straight to QLD transport to get it registered, as long as you have paid up CTP, a registration form filled out, and the other stuff you need.

This is what I will be doing tomorrow

If you can get your hands on one of those babies DO IT.
