qld personalised plate cost

In Queensland, personalised plates are sold through PPQ with a one-off purchase price (no ongoing annual fee) — your regular rego costs stay separate. New pricing typically starts around $500 for basic alphanumeric combos, with premium styles, colours and formats ranging roughly from $1,000–$3,000+. If you want short or highly desirable combos, expect special releases or auctions that can climb higher, because bragging rights aren’t cheap. On the used market, plates trade privately anywhere from a few hundred dollars to five figures, depending on how clever, short, or number-heavy the combo is. Don’t forget possible transfer fees when buying second-hand, and plate remake/delivery charges if you change styles. It’s vanity, sure, but at least your car gets to wear the fancy outfit.
