Drivers missing out on thousands in unclaimed toll rebates
Motorists in New South Wales could be sitting on hundred of dollars in unclaimed toll rebates and not even know it.
After a scheme was introduced by NSW premier Dom Perrottet to help ease cost of living pressures, drivers can get cash back for their road usage.
The scheme entitles eligible drivers who spent more than $375 on tolls in the 2022-2023 financial year to a 40 per cent rebate of up to $750.
Motorists have until June 30, 2024 to claim the rebate.
This financial year, motorists who spend more than $402 on tolls can claim up to $802 back.
In order to claim your rebate, you need to be a resident of New South Wales with an active NSW E-Toll or Transurban Linkt account and have already paid for the tolls.
Drivers also must have accrued tolls on a vehicle that is privately registered in NSW and have travelled on an eligible NSW road.
The toll roads included in the rebate are:
- M5 South-West (unless you already claim for the M5 South-West Cashback Scheme)
- Westlink M7
- Hills M2
- NorthConnex
- WestConnex
- Sydney Harbour Bridge
- Sydney Harbour Tunnel
- Lane Cove Tunnel
- Eastern Distributor
- Cross City Tunnel
- Military Rd E-Ramp (Falcon St off-ramp of the Warringah Fwy).
To access the toll tracker service, you need to link your toll account with your MyService NSW profile before you check your eligibility via the Service NSW website, select “claim online” and follow the prompts.
Once approved, Service NSW says you will receive your rebate within three to eight business days.
