War in the Middle East continues to push up prices at the pump and put families under pressure.
That’s why the Allan Labor Government is slashing the cost of catching the train – and driving your car.
We’re already delivering free and half-price PT.
Now, the Victorian Budget 2026/27 will provide 20 per cent back off your rego.
Currently, light vehicle registration costs up to $930.70 every year, for every car.
With 20% off rego, a driver with one car will receive up to $186, and a family with two cars will receive up to $372.
It’s all about putting money back in the pockets of Victorians who are paying more than ever for fuel.
This cut to government fees and charges represents around $750 million in foregone revenue.
We can afford it because it’s one-off cost-of-living help for families right now, while still delivering a surplus.
How 20% off rego works
From 1 June, eligible vehicle owners can apply for 20% off rego through Service Victoria.
Applications will be open until 31 July – so you have two months to claim the rebate.
The rebate will refund you back 20 per cent of your registration payment for 2025/26.
It will be open to Victorians who own light vehicles for personal use: cars, utes, and anything under 4.5 tonnes.
You can claim rebates for up to two vehicles in your name, regardless of how many vehicles are in the household.
First, we brought in cheaper fares for passengers – now we’re discounting rego for motorists.
Only Labor has new solutions to make life easier, safer and more affordable.
