Listing and matching

Messaging

You can message potential swap partners through the platform at no cost.

Platform-generated documents

When you progress a swap to the agreement stage, SwapU generates: - A co-signed Swap Agreement - A Bill of Sale for each vehicle

These documents are not required by TMR but create a written record of the agreed terms. They are generated through the platform as part of the guided swap process.

Government fees you still pay directly

Regardless of whether you use SwapU, both parties in a Queensland swap are required to pay directly to the government: - Transfer duty (stamp duty) on each vehicle — paid to TMR at the time of registration transfer - Registration transfer fee — approximately $60 per vehicle (verify at tmr.qld.gov.au) - Safety Certificate inspection fee — approximately $150–250 per vehicle (paid to the inspection station)

SwapU does not collect these fees and does not mark them up.

Current pricing

Check swapu.com.au for the current fee structure. As an early-stage platform, SwapU's pricing model may evolve.
