How to pay for toll roads in Australia

In Australia, toll roads are electronically tolled, so there are no cash toll booths. If you travel on a toll road, the toll will be recorded automatically. Toll-point cameras capture vehicle details, including the registration plate, to process the toll charge. Toll roads are mainly located in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

After you use a toll road, the trip is registered and processed by Linkt. The toll amount is not necessarily charged on the same day you travel. Once the toll has been processed, the applicable amount will be automatically charged to the card we have on file, usually several days after the toll road was used.

Please ensure sufficient funds remain available on your card after your rental, as some toll charges may be processed after you have returned the vehicle.

You will also receive an email with the details of the toll charge once it has been processed.
