Need Help! - CPT Insurance in AUS for Jeep and Trailer under Carnet from US
Hello,
UPDATE after searching:
I see this issue has come up before and the problem appears to remain the same.
We will be porting in Sydney (NSW) and I can confirm that NSW does NOT require CTP for overseas vehicles in the state while under a Carnet. However, we plan to tour through every state.
If I could find a legal reference for the inter-state agreement where meeting the requirements in one state satisfies the requirements in all, that might also be helpful.
I am brand new here but was referred to the site by a friend of some regular travellers.
My wife and I are shipping our Jeep and Trailer to Australia under a Carnet CPD and will be touring the country for approximately 6 months (May - Dec).
I've been able to confirm every individual state's requirements and all allow a foreign registered vehicle to be used under the foreign registration so long as it is in the country legally under a Carnet (which we will be) and in all cases the vehicle is exempt from needing to be registered in Australia.
However, (nearly) every state also requires that we have Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance.
I have contacted numerous agencies in Australia and none can provide insurance unless the vehicle is registered in Australia.
I'm looking for assistance on how to obtain CTP coverage for our vehicle without it needing to be registered.
Many thanks in advance.
Greg
