• Start you tag with a pre-paid balance and then choose between manual or automatic payments for the top ups.
•  A small monthly fee is charged for the tag( depending on the tag provider)
• Attach the tag to your vehicle window behind the rear-view mirror and you are set to go.
• Drive through the toll points on the motorway and the tag deduct the toll amount from your account. 

Use the tag account on any toll road in Australia. A separate toll tag is not required when you travel to another state or city. A Tag account can cover trips made up to 10 days ago on all toll roads in New South Wales except for the Sydney Harbour Bridge & Sydney Harbour Tunnel.

What is a toll road tagless account

An easy way to travel on Sydney’s toll roads is to use a Tagless account. It works similar to a Tag account. The difference is that a Tagless account is a postpaid account that auto-debits your linked credit card with the toll charges once a day after you have travelled.

In a tagless account, tolls are charged to your account by taking a photo of your license plate number as you pass through a toll point . This is later checked against the vehicles registered to your account. A vehicle matching fee is additionally charged with respect to this

To open a tagless account for Sydney’s toll roads you have to:

•   Open an account with any of the providers online
•    Provide your licence plate number
•   Pay a start-up fee of $1.50 and your card is good to go
•  Toll amount charged at the end of the day

The tagless account can cover trips made up to 10 days on all toll roads in New South Wales except for the Sydney Harbour Bridge & Sydney Harbour Tunnel.

Toll charges are the same whether you have a Tag, Tagless account or Commercial account. However, a Commercial account has different account admin fees.
