Travelling without an account or pass

Is there a fine if I use a toll road without an account or pass?

Motorists are required by law to pay tolls when they drive on a toll road. You can open an account/pass up to 72 hours after using a toll road.

If you choose not to set up an account or buy a pass, the trip will be eligible for a toll notice. The toll notice will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle that used the toll road. The person the vehicle is registered to is required by law to pay the toll notice, which will include the unpaid toll amount and an administration fee. Repeated failure to respond to and pay a toll notice may result in a penalty notice sent to the vehicle’s registered owner and the matter being referred to Revenue NSW. Motorway operators may refer outstanding and administration fees to a civil debt recovery organisation, and this may incur additional fees.

To avoid receiving toll notices when you have a valid account, please ensure that you register your vehicle licence plate on your account and install your tag in your vehicle correctly (Tag account only).

I travelled on a toll road without an account/pass in the past 72 hours. How do I pay to avoid a fine?

You have up to 72 hours after your trip to pay for your tolls. To do this, you must set up a pass or open an account.

I travelled on a toll road without a pass/account more than 72 hours ago. How do I pay to avoid a fine?

If your travel was more than 72 hours ago, you can still pay for your travel before a toll notice is issued by going online or by calling 13 18 65. This payment may be made by transferring to an existing account or by credit/debit card. Video fees will apply. Higher fees will apply if you fail to pay for the trip before the toll notice is issued.
