What if I don't pay a toll notice on time?

Toll notice

If you use a toll road without an electronic tag, pass or valid account, you have 3 days to pay the toll. If you do not pay within 3 days a toll notice will be issued to the registered owner of the vehicle.

You can pay a toll notice online or by mail.

If you receive a toll notice but you were not the driver at the time, you can Nominate a different driver.

Or, if you do not agree with the notice, you can Lodge an objection.

Final toll notice

If you don't pay your toll notice by the due date, you will be issued a final toll notice. This will include an additional administration fee, usually $20.

Penalty notice

If the final toll notice is not paid by the due date, a penalty notice may be sent to the registered operator of the vehicle. The fine for non-payment of a toll exceeds $190.

For more information about penalty notices, see Revenue NSW.

Overdue fine

If the penalty notice is not paid on time, an overdue fine may be issued. If the overdue fine remains unpaid, your licence or registration may be cancelled.

Civil debt recovery

Motorway operators may refer outstanding tolls and administration fees to a debt collection agency. You may face additional fees if this occurs.

Legal action can also be taken as part of the civil debt recovery process. If legal action is taken against you by the motorway operator, you may be required to pay the legal costs of this process.
