Holy crap! Ctp in nsw...

[Liger]

I just moved to NSW and am looking at transfering my REGO from QLD to NSW.

So I called up the NSW RTA this morning to get some information This was basically what happened.

Sir you have to get blue slip, blah blah blah, get CTP.
Wait what? CTP? I thought that was included in the rego.
Sorry sir, in NSW it is a sperate thing.
Oh ok no problem, thank you.

Thinking to myself oh ok no problem, the rego must be cheaper and this CTP thing cant cost more than $100-$200.

Call up AMMI, sir that would be $737 a year.

say whuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttt?!!?

I'm only 23 but have never claimed anything on insurance nor been in any accidents.

BUT GAWD DAM..... I shopped around and it seems to be all the same price.

Is every one paying this insane price???

[simmy]

yeah, its because youre under 25 thats why the price is high for ctp

[Liger]

Is it really just because i'm under 25? because $737 being the lowest quote i can find is insanely expensive and abit unfair.

If you haven't already, use this website to compare the prices of the major CTPs available in NSW. http://prices.maa.nsw.gov.au/index.html

Even if you are over 25, the difference between insurance companies can be a few hundred dollars. Once I had my provider want over $600 for CTP and I'm over 30. Used the website and found another for $440. Now whenever the time comes to renew, I jump to that website to ensure that I am not getting ripped off compared to the other companies.

@aaronng, Thanks, I used that and the cheapest one it showed me was $736. Guess I'll just have to pay that.

Everything was going so well with this move except the motoring. Come to NSW get bumped down to a P licence...Change rego, get charged $700. %&*(@#$%%^!!!!!

[1900-hustler]

wait howd you get bumped back down to P plates?

I had a foreign licence, only had a QLD licence for 2 years, came to NSW and they said that I had to be driving for 3 years in AUS and issued me with a provisional licence. Apparently i have to be on the green Ps for another year.
