Add a temporary or borrowed vehicle to an account

There may be times when you need to travel on a toll road using a vehicle that’s not yours. This could be because:

  • You have borrowed a vehicle from friends or family
  • You’re using a courtesy vehicle
  • You’re using a rental or ride-share vehicle. If you’re renting a car or using a car share scheme, check with the company first – many companies have tolling arrangements in place for their customers.

You can cover your toll road travel with the following options.

If you have a Linkt account with a tag

Put your tag in the borrowed vehicle, making sure it’s correctly installed. Your travel will be charged to your Linkt account. 

If you have a Linkt account without a tag

If you have a tagless account, add the licence plate of the borrowed vehicle to your Linkt account and set a start and end date. Your travel will be charged to your Linkt account you will be charged a video matching fee. Find out how to do this online or using the Linkt app using the instructions below.
