Rucs = $187 per 4000kms
Reg licence = $417 per year

Thank you mrfixit, how did you work out the road user fees!

Pretty simple.
It's what I pay ;-)

It's per 1000km plus a fixed "admin" fee
Variables don't exist for domestic "joe blog's" users, but commercial have a few variations depending on weight & HOW they pay plus over distance/weight licences etc etc (don't even bother to lookat that side yet, it's not worth the confusion)

Simpler to ring Nzta & supply the rego number & they will tell you.

Hey check out how much registration costs before you buy diesel van.

Make sure you get it checked out thoroughly. They are known to give many problems if not looked after.

i advise not to buy a estima enema. they are the worst possibile $hitfighter you could throw money at. If you need loads of seats you buy a townace noha.
