In Vic, an unregistered vehicle permit is technically only for driving an unregistered vehicle, that’s in a ‘road worthy’ condition, to and from establishments for repair work, to have a RWC test, or be inspected at a Vic Roads office.
I say ‘technically’ because not everyone abides by this theory, myself included at times.

Shannons is a business, not a damn charity. You want to do everything on the cheap, then cry like a spoilt baby because a business won't give you something for nothing. You expect them to take on the risk of your car, plus 3rd party liability, plus public liability, and do all that for a few dollars?? Why would ANY business do that? As others have said, buy a proper insurance policy, cancel it when you don't need it, and cop the penalties. Or, stop trying to do something on the dodgy, and pay the professionals to move your car.

XB GS isn't try to 'do something on the dodgy'. On the contrary, he's simply trying to do the right thing by the motoring public and ensure he's covered, and therefore not a potential liability on the road - surely that thinking deserves credit. Given that he's a long term client with multiple policies with that company, one would think they might have been able to do something to assist him. Sadly, this is what insurance companies have become. There is absolutely no client loyalty any more. |

It's the apparent inconsistency that gets me. I'm one of (at least) three posters who has done it by the book; permit at the registry and comp with Shannons - yet this chap is getting a whole different story.

Can you even insure an unregistered car? I tried it with one of my cars before it was registered and no one wanted a bar of it even though it wasn't moving anywhere.

Its nothing about client loyalty, do you really think any insurance company should assist him on this venture?

Sounds like the only options now are to flatbed it to Tweed Heads RMS and register it there. Find the nearest Blue slip certifier to RMS and take your chances that it will pass. Or use a car carrier service and if you want to follow it down to make sure it doesn't get damaged then you can.

I assume he already has lay up insurance, which should cover him for getting it transported or trailered.
but it wont cover for driving an unregistered vehicle on the road.

There are many accepted activities that exist, even rely upon extension of trust.
Builders consistently extend trust in provision of credit to a client, dentists charge you after the treatment session - not before or during, piano tuners ask for payment after completion. Shannon’s extend their trust to me for the ute and other cars I drive. It’s a policy requirement the (not laid up) cars are otherwise legally able to be driven. When - in NSW - someone signs a declaration of roadworthiness in order to receive a temporary permit, that declaration is binding and holds the applicant liable. It therefore makes sense that an insurer could contract with a driver in a manner no different to insuring a fully registered car. I accept the risk profile is possibly heightened; unfamiliar vehicle or journey, just like any “new” car - which is usually quite insurable regardless. A premium reflects that in its price. It’s saddening to note the lurch towards social-media driven (the root cause IMO) presumptions of impropriety; even imputations thereof. |

Its a 550km Interstate journey for a $70K car, were not talking about sneaking an old wreck across the boarder on the cheap.

Of course he wants comprehensive. He cited the obvious reason for needing such coverage. So what if it’s a 70K car, just perhaps he is comfortable with the cars condition and would like to actually drive his new purchase back home? This would give him the chance to get an idea of what he wants to improve,restore or modify when its back home.Go figure drive a car, crazy stuff right there.

Instead one or two of you wanted to argue over anything but the question that was asked. The OP has not logged back on since the day he posted this question so until the OP tells me otherwise (via PM) the thread is closed. |
