Toll Roads in Australia Info – Travelwheels Campervan Hire

Toll roads in Australia guide

Toll roads in Australia guide

 

Are you looking for information about toll roads in Australia? Travelwheels have written this mini guide to help.

Many of our overseas customers get confused about how to pay the fees for travelling on paid roads. 

It’s easy to get a fine when using the highways here as it is very confusing system! 

Many of the people who rent a campervan with us come from Europe. Thus we have written this guide in different languages to help. 

Here is a link to the Deutsch version, Mautstraßen in Australien. 

The Français version is available here, Toll road Route à péage en Australie.

 

 

Toll-roads unfair system for travellers

Lovely girls outside a campervan celebrating not paying for Toll Roads in Australia

Toll Roads in Australia – yes we have them!

Check Price

Campervan rental companies have been arguing with the government over this issue. Everyone wants to make things easier for tourists visiting Australia! The current system of tolls is confusing and unfair!

Many tourists get penalty fines whilst driving their vehicles.  The toll-system here is especially complicated! If your first language is not English, then it adds another layer of difficult! 

Trying to understand the toll-road system is hard for English speakers! If you come from a non-English speaking country, the system can feel unfair! 

Below is our guide to the current system, but remember things change all the time here in Australia!

 

Toll Roads within Australia – now cashless system

So many motorists end up with fines when using the toll-road system. You can no longer pay cash at any toll roads in Australia!
 
The new system means you have to buy an “electronic tag” for your vehicle. The only other option is a temporary pass. If you don’t do this, you will have to call every time you pass one of the cashless toll roads in Australia!

Travel over a Toll and no pass, then have 48 hours to pay!

If you pass any of the tolls, then you usually have 48 hours pay.
Another confusing part is there are different companies for each road!

Because the system is cashless and the road signs are hard to understand, it’s easy to get a fine. Many tourists, unfortunately, fall into this trap set by the government!

Many people argue that this is a “money-making machine or vehicle” for the government! We think it is!

Below is our guide to toll-road charges. NOTE, prices go up, rules change, and you know what governments are like, unpredictable!

Please don’t treat this as the gospel! Make sure you do your research. Our mini guide is not a legal document! Please note Travelwheels will not be responsible for any error in this webpage! Fingers crossed there are not too many!

 

Toll Roads for Sydney:

Toll Roads in Australia – around Sydney

 

Sydney is the capital for Toll Roads in Australia! As a result of the government’s money-grabbing policies, watch out!
 
Sydney has loads of toll roads and bridges which are now all cashless! They all use electronic E-tags fitted in vehicles.
 
Remember it is your responsibility to pay the fees for using these highways! It is not your car or campervan hire company’s responsibility! Here is a list of the current list of toll-roads for the Sydney area (they are planning more!).

 How to use toll-roads for Sydney

First, check if you have an “E Tag” in your vehicle? If yes, then you must travel in the “E” lanes marked on the roads. The e-tag has a chip with a sensor. When you drive under a toll in your vehicle, your account is automatically charged.

These tags can be purchased through several websites online. Here are the two main companies you can use.

  • Linkt
  • Tollpay

Toll Roads in Australia – E-Tag lanes on Sydney Harbour Bridge

Visiting Australia on holiday – best option use Roam pass

The first one is to set up a temporary pass such as www.myrta.com or www.roam.com.au, to register for toll-payments. 

You will need a credit card and the registration number of the campervan hire vehicle. Then you can set up the pass for the exact amount of days you are travelling. This way, you are not going to pay for the next person who will use the campervan are you!

Remember, it is your responsibility to pay for toll-charges. Most campervan rental companies have terms and conditions. Well worth visiting their website and having a read!le.

Toll roads for the Brisbane area:

Toll Roads in Australia – Brisbane has a number of toll roads

Brisbane and the surrounding area is full of tolls! You can find them in the south of the city area. Plus they are north of the airport.
 
Below is a list of some of the toll bridges and roads. Watch out because in Queensland they seem to be adding new ones all the time!
 
  • Gateway Bridge
  • The Gateway Motorway
  • Extension to the Gateway Motorway
  • Logan Motorway
  • Northern Link extending the Western Freeway into Brisbane inner-city Bypass
  • M7 Motorway
  • CLEM7 section including the 5km city tunnel
  • The bridge linking Southern Brisbane with Milton.
  • Bound to be more as this is Australia!
Note – Flowtoll operates the payments for the CLEM7 and the Go Between Bridge.

 

Easier to pay for these toll road passes by credit card

You can buy passes for the Logan and Gateway Motorways tolls via the video pass system – google linkt.

Once you have pre-registered your credit card, you can begin your trip. If you travel and pass under a toll sign, your credit card gets charged.

If you have an overseas credit card, then it can be a problem with charges! There is another possible option for you. You can pay up to three days after your trip if you give them a call or pay via the internet.

You can get you pass here linkt.com.au/brisbane.
