Using rental or hire cars with LinktGO
Before you drive, always check with your rental agency about how to pay for your tolls.
Rental or hire vehicles are often linked to a tolling account that’s managed by the rental agency.

Using LinktGO to cover your trips
If you’re renting from a rental agency that doesn’t have any toll payment accounts or tags, you can use LinktGO. Make sure to add your rental vehicle before travel and to remove the vehicle when you are returning it to the rental agency.
If you’re renting from a rental agency with existing arrangements to cover toll road travel, you may still be charged extra fees, even if you pay with LinktGO.
Unsure? Check with the rental vehicle agency whether they have a tolling arrangement in place.
Add or remove rental vehicles from the LinktGO app
- Open the LinktGO app
- Select ‘More’ on iOS or ‘Menu’ on Android devices
- Select ‘My Vehicles’
- Select ‘Add vehicle’
- On the ‘Rental vehicle?’ screen, set the toll travel end date by selecting ‘Yes’
- Set an end date for the temporary vehicle
Important: Don’t forget to set an end date so that you don’t get charged for someone else’s trips.
Make sure the dates and times you're registering the vehicle for correspond to your rental period.
If you don't enter an automatic end date and time, you will need to manually remove the hire vehicle from LinktGO immediately after returning it.
