Shanghai Inner Ring Number Plate Price & Registration Process

[milton]

Last I checked these were 17000. For foreigners however it depends upon your Visa. When I asked about this I was told that although I lived in Minhang, and worked in Songjiang, because my Visa was issued by a company in Pudong I was SOL for getting cheaper plates. Someone PLEASE prove me wrong on this, as I would happily get a C-Z plate for a new bike.

Motorcycles with engine size larger than 50cc require yellow plates, including yellow A, B and C. Only bikes of less than or equal to 50cc are eligible for those plates mentioned here costing around 17000, which are blue A with similar access coverage of city roads as yellow A and B. As far as your situation goes, since Minhang, Songjiang and Pudong all three allow yellow C plate, you are in luck for the cheaper yellow c option, which costs around 5000. (I am pretty sure about yellow C and Pudong, of which I am a resident.) I believe you go to where your residency is located for your plate, not where your visa was issued or which company your visa was sponsored by.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
