Shanghai plates - price and advice

^I can read some CHS characters. You are correct on all counts. One of the Motorfan links goes into detail on the actual boundary between 户A/户B and 户C as does the original SH Traffic PSB linky. While the actual forbidden areas differ to that of the inner ring road, it is easier and more useful in some respects to use the inner ring road as a defacto demarcation line/boundary than having to remember the actual roads - unless one is riding the same routes fairly regularly.

Hey,

The prices aren't moving anymore since mid 2013.

Hu A (& Hu B) = 120.000 to 140.000 RMB

Hu C (& Hu D & Hu E) = 20.000 to 30.000 RMB

but 30k for Hu C is a bit too much.

Now wait a minute.

When u say "you can upgrade from a C to A" on second hand bikes, that is supposing that u got the A plate from where?

Hi @all,

another thing I didn't read but important ... it's not only 200 RMB fine if the police stops you with a Hu C in the not allowed areas (lets say inner ring fro simplicity).... BUT it's also 3 points in your record! :eekers: ... just happened a few weeks ago to a friend of mine...

Hi,

I am currently looking into buying a bike for getting out of the city. Being registered downtown Xuhui, I understand that the right way would be acquiring the respective 户A plate. Since I am not willing to spend 5 times as much on the plate (even if it could be an investment), as on the motorcycle, but on the other hand trying to be as legal as possible - I guess going for a 户C plate might be an option.

How do you enable yourself for a 户C plate - register with a friend or company outside the city but within Shanghai boundaries? Does it actually depend on where you are registered?

Does anybody have an update what the current market price for 户C plates is?

Thanks!

If you can't speak Chinese take a person who can into a local motorbike shop and ask the current prices for the plate you are looking for, what everyone you pick it's going to cost loads.
The down side of living in SH mate
The base line is pay up or move out ?

Moving out isn't an option! Had this for a while, won't do it again... I can check with a dealer, but in case somebody has been recently and popped the question, just post it here...

The company is actually outside in Anting, anybody ever managed to register the motorbike to a company?

you can't register the bike in company name in shanghai. because simply no more company moto license plate anymore.
you could only register bike in the personal name. HU C is possible. but why not just register in other cities if you like to save some money.

Well the question is, when you are not living at the place where the bike is registered anyhow - would at least a 户 plate (being the same province as you live in) be a potential benefit from a legal perspective. Or does it anyhow doesn't make a difference.

Furthermore what is worst impact one can expect when you run into problems with a fully legal registration, but not actually living at the place....?
