We make sure your vehicle has a valid registration at all times. If you move state, receive a renewal in the mail, or have any concerns about your registration expiry, this section will help you.
We follow a very simple and efficient vehicle registration process.
Mid-term registrations - We usually register your vehicle four weeks prior to its registration expiry date. If the vehicle is registered with your personal address, we will contact you to get a copy of the registration renewal notice. If an inspection is required, we will send you a reminder. Our Registrations team regularly follows up any outstanding inspections. We will pay the registration once we receive the inspection report from you.
For end of lease vehicles (i.e. where vehicle’s lease is near expiring) – We will renew the registration close to the expiry date if the vehicle is not going to be returned by lease end date. If the vehicle is going to be returned by lease end date, the registration will not be renewed.
A registration label is no longer required for normal vehicles. Only heavy vehicles require a label. For heavy vehicles, we will send you the new registration labels as soon as we receive them from the state authority. We will keep the receipts if the vehicle is registered in Custom Fleet’s name. We will send you the receipts if the vehicle is registered in your name.
If you are interested in an inter-state transfer of registration, please ask us to send you a transfer pack which includes all the required paperwork and necessary guidelines to complete transfer process. Once you have made the registration payment directly with the authorities, please send us a copy of the new registration paperwork so we can update our system with the correct state and expiry date. This will also be reflected on Fleet Office.
On our client’s behalf, we can request to add or remove a vehicle from our schedule. At the time of renewal we receive schedule from authorities. We forward this schedule to customer for them to have a look and make any changes in the schedule. We than forward this changes to authorities and request them to provide an updated schedule. After receiving updated schedule we forward this to client to confirm if everything is alright. Meanwhile in schedule, if any vehicle requires inspection, we follow normal inspection process. After receiving go ahead from customer we pay the schedule and register the vehicles.
If your vehicle is unregistered, you must not drive it. Contact your Custom Fleet account manager Immediately. We will make it our highest priority to get the vehicle registered so you can get you back on the road as soon as possible.
Contact your Custom Fleet account manager. They will liaise with our registration team on your behalf.
Custom Fleet has state of the art infringement process. We handle infringements for lots of our clients. When Custom Fleet receives infringements, we create statutory declaration nominating company/driver and forward to authorities. Authorities then issue new infringement for nominated company/driver.
Custom Fleet provides video tolling solutions for our customer. Please ask your account manager for more details.
At the end of your lease period, you can return or replace the vehicle, or buy it for a fair market price. If you're interested in purchasing the vehicle, see our Drive It, Buy It program for more information.
