.cars
Cheapest first year right now is $1999.99 at NameSilo, and the renewal barely moves — one of the few extensions where the introductory price tells the truth.
All 29 registrars, cheapest first
ICANN’s $0.18 fee is listed separately where the registrar excludes it from the headline price. Sort any column, or hide the ones you do not need.

All prices in USD for a one-year term, as published by each registrar. Registry and ICANN fees are included where the registrar includes them; taxes are not. Confirm at checkout before buying.
Save $80.21 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Sav at $10401.00. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $10320.79 — 1% less:
- Register at NameSilo for the first year.
- Transfer to Sav before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Sav for years three to five.
Registries require a name to be 60 days old before it can transfer, so plan the move for renewal time rather than straight after registering.
