Mine was a one off payment of $2195. Considering I have now had them for nearly 5 years, they pretty much pay themselves off in comparison to an annual fee of $440. daaamn, guess melbourne has it good then, $495 for 2 standard [ or extra $30ea for slimline ] custom plates, yours to keep forever, no fees per year. You can change the rego for one car only for free, but to transfer it to another vehicle its $150 per transfer. its almost like tashs, hers is SPTVOH
