How tolling works
Toll roads are roads that drivers must pay to use. In Australia, all toll roads are electronically tolled, which means there are no cash booths.
The amount you pay can depend on:
- The distance you travel
- Your vehicle class
- The time of the day you travel (if you drive a heavy commercial vehicle)
- Other fees (for example, if you travel without a tag)
You can travel on any toll road in Australia with our accounts and passes.
Options to cover your toll road travel
The most convenient way to pay for toll road travel is to open an account.
If you're visiting Melbourne or only need to use toll roads for a short time, you can buy a pass.
If you've travelled without an account or a pass

A toll invoice will be sent to the vehicle's owner if trips aren't paid for in this time, which includes additional fees. It's important to pay any toll invoices before the due date to avoid additional fees or infringement notices. Learn more about overdue and unpaid toll invoices
