How do I install a tag in a heavy commercial vehicle?

Your tag will arrive activated and ready for use. It comes with a holder that sticks firmly to your vehicle’s windscreen.

1. Insert the tag into its holder

Slide the tag into its holder until it clicks into place. Leave the backing on the adhesive for now.

2. Decide where to place your tag

Before removing the backing from the adhesive, trial fit the tag on your windscreen a few centimetres above the dashboard. Mini tags should be aligned horizontally while small tags align vertically.

Ensure there are at least 7cm between the tag and other objects. This will allow you to easily remove your tag from the holder.

3. Stick your tag in place

Once you're happy with the position, clean the area with a cloth and allow it to dry.

Remove the tape from the holder and press the tag firmly against the windscreen for 30 seconds.

Make sure your tag is correctly installed and working, otherwise it won't be detected and you may incur a vehicle or video matching fee (this may also be referred to as a no tag in vehicle fee) or receive a toll invoice or notice. 

4. My tag is installed, now what?

Now that your tag is installed correctly you can travel on toll roads. Your tag will beep when it passes through a tolling point. Find out about what the tags beeps mean or what to do if it doesn’t beep.

You don’t need to do anything online except for making sure that your account is topped up. Your Linkt account will automatically detect that your tag is in a vehicle and when you log in to your account the Tags and holders screen will display the last known licence plate of the vehicle making trips charged to your tag account.
