| Days since travelled | What you can do |
|---|---|
| 1-5 days | Open a tag or tagless account or buy a Sydney pass and backdate the start date to include your trip. |
| 6-10 days | Open a tag or tagless account and backdate the start date to cover your travel. |
| More than 10 days | If you travelled on Sydney toll roads more than 10 days ago you should receive a toll notice by mail. Toll notices are issued to the registered owner of the vehicle and will include the cost of your tolls plus an additional fee. |

Can I just avoid toll roads altogether in Sydney
Except for both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour Tunnel, which are tolled, toll roads can be avoided in Sydney. There are alternate routes to each of the tolled motorways which do not require payment of any toll. These routes, however, are slower.

If you have travelled on a toll road in Sydney without paying for it, you will receive a toll notice or toll invoice for it. The total invoice is your bill for the unpaid travel that you have undertaken along with an administration fee, and the date by which the due is to be paid.

- If the vehicle you are traveling in is not linked to an active tag, tagless account or a pass
- If your tag account does not have enough money to cover your travel
