      Registration process and caravan insurance

      Registering your new Zone RV, state requirements, Zone RV vs Dealer and when you can arrange insurance

      If you purchased your van directly from Zone RV and are collecting it in person from our Queensland location, your van will be registered in Queensland with 12 months of Queensland registration. After the handover, you can transfer the registration to your preferred state.

      If you purchase directly from Zone RV but opt to have your van freighted or transported to your home state/address, the van will arrive unregistered. It is your responsibility to arrange registration in your state or territory. Each state has its own requirements and processes, so please contact your local transport authority for guidance.
      If you purchased your van from Off Grid Outfitters, they will be in touch regarding their requirements.

      Registering your caravan under a business name?

      Unfortunately, we can only register your van in a personal name. If you wish to have it registered in a business name, you must do this later with your local transport agency. This is due to the restrictions we have under our licence to register new vans through QLD Transport.

      Personalised Plates 

      If you have a personalised plate or want to make some, please send it to ZONE RV at the latest, 1 month before your handover date. If you don't have plates to send this early, please contact us a month before your handover date so we can prepare and coordinate with TMR.
      PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE MUST BE CARAVAN/ TRAILER PLATE. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CAR PLATES. 

      If you have any further questions about registration or the documents you need to present before your handover date, please contact us. 
       

      INSURANCE

      When you receive your final payment invoice, you will receive the VIN for your new van. With the VIN, you can arrange insurance for your new Zone RV.
      We have a partnership with  CIL - Caravan and RV Insurance feel free to contact them directly to obtain a quote.
