Can you pay car rego with afterpay?

Car rego can be a pain, as it’s a big expense that comes in one hit. Even if you’ve budgeted ahead, third party cost fluctuations can make it hard to track your savings.

Unfortunately, no State or Territory currently offers Afterpay car rego payment right now in Australia, so you’ll have to stick with another payment method for the time being. That said, there are still heaps of ways to take advantage of what Afterpay has to offer through mycar, including your roadworthy inspection!

Let’s dive into how it works, and how it can help lighten your load when it comes to car expenses.

What is Afterpay?

If you’ve ever found yourself having to pay for a bill that you just didn’t expect, you know how stressful it can be. Things like getting a flat tyre on the way to work, a busted transmission just as you’ve paid for that overseas holiday (ouch!), or a much needed brake repair can take you by surprise. These out-of-the-blue expenses can sometimes mean the choice between having no transport, or closing your eyes and tapping the credit card while you hope for the best.

It can be a difficult choice to make.

Life doesn’t always go to plan, so if you need a bit more wiggle room to get things sorted, Afterpay may be something worth considering. With their flexible interest-free payment options, you’ll have the opportunity to get what you need now, without having to pay for it all upfront.

How Does Afterpay Work?

Afterpay is a secure payment system that works through an app on your phone. It’s easy to set up an Afterpay account - you just need to be over 18 to download and use the app.

Once you have an account, you can shop online and select Afterpay at checkout. If you’d like to shop in-store—like at a local mycar— simply set up your Afterpay card within the app and add it to your digital wallet.

Afterpay then lets you pay the amount back gradually in 4 instalments over 6 weeks, which gives you a little more room to breathe. The app is transparent, so you’ll know what your spending limit is, and how much your upcoming instalments are. And regular payment reminder alerts help you to stay on top of your repayments.

What other car services can be paid with Afterpay?

At mycar, we know how important different payment options are, so we offer Afterpay for a whole range of vehicle maintenance costs. Whether you pay in-store or online, or for an unexpected repair or a regular service, it’s easy to fit it into your budget.

If it’s something simple like a tyre replacement, you can book online, choosing your preferred location and a date that’s convenient to you. Select the drop-off and pick up time, select Afterpay at checkout, and you’re sorted!

If it’s a more complex repair, it’s good to speak to one of our friendly team mechanics first. Give us a call and we can help diagnose the problem, and give you an idea of how much it will cost, and how long it will take. You can still pay with Afterpay, you’ll just do it in-store when you pick up your car.
