Using toll roads Frequently Asked Questions

Which roads are toll roads in NSW and what are the tolls?

There are 10 toll roads in NSW.  They are the M2, M4, M5, and M7, the Eastern Distributor, the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and Bridge, the Cross City Tunnel, the Lane Cove Tunnel and the Falcon St Gateway.
What is Cashback?

Cashback allows NSW residents to claim back the value of tolls (excluding GST) paid while driving privately registered vehicles on the M4 and M5 motorways. For more information on Cashback click here.

I have a tag from a different state (eg Melbourne Citylink), am I able to claim Cashback?

No. Cashback is only available to NSW residents with an electronic tag from a NSW tag provider.

How much are the tolls?

The motorway operator sets the toll for each road. Tolls on full electronic toll roads are subject to quarterly Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases.  For toll charges visit the relevant motorway website or go to www.sydneymotorways.com to calculate the toll for trips around the entire network.
If you have a tag, the toll is all you will pay (providing your tag is used correctly). If you use a pass, you may also be charged an administration fee.

I ride a motorcycle what do I do?

Do I have to pay the toll?

Motorists are required by law to pay the toll when they drive on a toll road.  The fine for not paying a toll exceeds $140.
