I’m looking for cheap ways to personalize my car. I’ve always liked custom license plates, but I’m worried they might be a little outside my price range. Exactly how much should a custom license plate cost in New York?

Personalizing your car is a great way to enhance the driving experience, and custom license plates are a relatively cheap and easy way to get started. A custom license plate in
New York
costs $60 upfront, but you’ll need to pay an additional $31.25 whenever you renew your registration.
While that may not seem like a lot, it can add up over time. Paying an extra $31.25 on top of your annual registration fees means you’ll be paying an additional 312.50 over the next ten years.
Of course, that’s not such a bad deal if the custom plate means a lot to you. And while it may sound expensive, custom plates are far cheaper than other basic modifications, like slamming your car or having it repainted. But if you’re still worried about the cost, offset the price of a custom plate by saving on car insurance with
