The total cost of a 5-day short-term plate is usually between 60 and 130 euros.

- Plate making: approx. €15 to €50
- Insurance (eVB): approx. €35 to €100
Important notes:
- Insurance tip: many insurers credit the cost of the short-term insurance if the vehicle is then permanently registered with them. You can avoid a follow-on insurance altogether by choosing a policy from kurzzeitkennzeichen.express
- Requirements: a valid general inspection (HU/TÜV) and an eVB number are needed to apply.
Validity: the plate is valid for a maximum of 5 days (more or less depending on the insurance) and expires automatically (visible from the expiry date on the yellow strip).
What does a short-term plate cost without an inspection (TÜV)?
The cost of a short-term plate does not depend on whether the vehicle has a valid inspection or not. Registration, insurance or driving without a valid inspection is not possible.
Which short-term plate insurance is the cheapest?
Short-term plate insurance has no uniform fixed price, as it varies by provider and scope. Liability cover for 5 days is typically in the range of about 30 to 80 euros.
Providers such as kurzzeitkennzeichen.express are at the lower end of this range and offer rates from around 35 to 45 euros for the insurance, plus the usual fees for plates and registration.
