The Club Permit Scheme allows conditional use of classic and historic vehicles for recreation purposes. Vehicles operating on Club Permit must not be used for a commercial purpose.
Penalties apply for using a club permit vehicle as commercial passenger vehicle service.
For Club Permit vehicles, commercial use includes using the vehicle for hire or reward, including carrying goods or passengers for hire or reward. Examples of commercial use includes using Club Permit vehicles for purposes such as carrying tools as part of a landscaping or gardening business or using Club Permit vehicles as wedding cars for hire or for tours.
It is a general condition of use for all Club Permit vehicles that they must not be used for hire or reward for the carriage of goods or freight, or to provide a commercial passenger vehicle service.
Where VicRoads can determine that a vehicle is being used in breach of the general conditions, Club Permit will be suspended and cancelled.
VicRoads will also inform Commercial Passenger Vehicles Victoria and the State Revenue Office, as well as the permit holder's club, for consideration of potential further action if Club Permit vehicles are being used commercially.
