  • How does tolling work?

    How does tolling work?

    Toll roads are roads that drivers must pay to use. In Australia, all toll roads are electronically tolled meaning there are no cash booths. How much you pay depends on the section of road you're travelling on and the class of vehicle you're driving. 

    Melbourne has 2 toll roads, CityLink and EastLink. The most convenient way to pay for travel on CityLink and EastLink 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 already travelled on a toll road without an account or pass, you can avoid extra fees. Buy a pass within 3 days of your first trip or open an account within 7 days. 

    If you don't cover your travel within these time frames, a toll invoice will be posted to you, which will include administration fees.

  • Using rental vehicles on toll roads

    Using rental vehicles on toll roads

    If you're renting a vehicle, please check with your rental company first about how to pay for planned or unplanned toll road travel.

    Different rental companies offer various payment options to pass toll charges on to their customers. 

    Some rental companies offer a direct tolling option, which automatically debits your credit card every time you use any toll road. Other companies require you to purchase a toll day pass for each day of toll road use.

    Often, your rental vehicle will already be linked to a toll account managed by your rental company. The rental company’s toll account may override any toll payment arrangement you make with us, and may result in unexpected charges or penalties being applied by your rental company.

    Using toll roads in Sydney and Brisbane

    If you're travelling to Sydney or Brisbane, an Everyday or Commercial account can cover you for trips on toll roads in those cities. To avoid any additional charges make sure your vehicle is linked to your account and you have a correctly installed and working tag in your vehicle. Any tolls you incur will be charged to your account. 

    If you travel without your tag, but the vehicle you're driving is linked to your account, you'll be charged a no tag in vehicle fee, as well as the toll.

    Alternatively, you can buy a Linkt pass for Sydney travel or for Brisbane travel.

    To calculate your Sydney and Brisbane toll travel costs, visit the Linkt Sydney toll calculator and the Brisbane toll calculator.
