In Australia you have to pay registration per vehicle even though you can only drive one at a time. This means people will buy a big vehicle that they might need occasionally instead of having a big one and a small one.
No. I just mean that it would make more sense to pay a fee to drive any car rather than rego for each. That way you could have a small car for around town and a bigger car for when you need to go further afield without having to pay two lots of registration fees.
The insurance companies want their money though so you pay for each one.
My partner and I had a short time where we had 5 cars, all registered and insurance. Only lasted a few months, we recycled one to get a credit for the electric car we got, sold another two and put the money on the electric car. Now we just have a lifted pickup for going offroad and a nice electric car that I get to fill up for free at work.

US you have to pay an annual registration for each vehicle also, and of course insurance on every vehicle
Same issue then I guess. Makes owning a second car expensive, so you’ll just get the biggest one that meets all your needs.
Do you mean you can only have one vehicle registered at a time that you can drive even if you own more than one vehicle?
