    free rego for people with a pension card - that sounds like an urban myth.

    for the OP, spiltting WHEN the rego is due again, sounds a good plan. Could you register one car for three months, the other car for six months?

    have you rung the relevant department, to ask them about part payments, scheduled repayments etc. Financial counsellors have told me that utility companies are good about this (if you contact them BEFORE bill is due), so i hope the rego place is too (for your sake).

    they offer discounts for pension card holders in most states - never heard of free rego before

    It's free in NSW - DP is on a disability pension card and the car is registered in her name, didn't cost anything last month when we registered it at the RTA.

    If you let your car run out of rego even by 2 weeks it is still unregistered but you might get away with It would be best to call them and find out dont email them like I did about registration and got the email today after I already sold the car 2 weeks ago how dumb is qld transport

    not sure how it works in other states but there is only a discount in Vic - they take the rego part off but you still pay compulsory third party (or they take the CPT and you pay the rego) - i'd check state by state what discounts are available

    In NSW you pay the CPT (I think that's what its called - we used NRMA) but the rego itself is free.
