How to Find the Cost of Renewal of Car Registration

The process you follow to find out your car registration renewal fees will vary depending on the state in which you live, and on the make and age of the vehicle. Each state sets its own registration fees, therefore there is not one standard fee. Each state's department of motor vehicles allows owners to access their information online to find out what payment is due and then often pay the amount using a debit or credit card.
