Peak and off-peak times for heavy commercial vehicles

Heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) are charged at peak or off-peak rates – which are based on when you travel. A 33% discount applies during the off-peak period. 

  • Peak travel – From 6am to 8pm 

  • Off-peak travel – From 8pm to 6am 

Depending on the time you travel, part of your trip may be charged at the peak rate and another part at the off-peak rate. 

Charges for trips in heavy commercial vehicles

Heavy commercial vehicle trips are charged for the lesser value of either:

  • The (distance based) toll price at peak or off-peak rates, or 

  • The peak trip cap or off-peak trip cap 

Peak and off-peak trip caps 

Trip caps are the maximum charge for a single continuous trip on CityLink. Trip caps apply when it’s cheaper than the toll prices in your trip. 

The time you exit your last toll point determines if you pay a peak trip cap or an off-peak trip cap. 

For example: 

  • If you exit at 6.10am (peak), the maximum charge will be $32.11 (peak trip cap)

  • If you exit at 8.10pm (off-peak), the maximum charge will be $21.41 (off-peak trip cap)

To estimate the cost of your trip, use our toll calculator or visit our tolls and fees page.
