What does car ownership really cost?

Car ownership cost includes far more than the payment at the dealership. Financing, depreciation, fuel or electricity, insurance, parking, maintenance, repairs, registration, and annual driving distance combine to determine what the vehicle absorbs each month and what every kilometre effectively costs.

Choose a vehicle and complete purchase, financing, driving, energy, insurance, parking, maintenance, registration, repair, and depreciation details before treating the total as a car budget. The completed explanation will connect monthly and annual ownership costs with the cost per kilometre so occasional driving can be compared with another transport option.
