Tolls, fees and fines — your questions answered

Here’s some questions we’ve been asked in the past. You might find the information you’re looking for here. If not, visit Linkt for more details, and information on how to get in touch with us.

  • Why do we have toll roads?

    Electronic toll roads help you get where you need to go, more quickly and safely.

    Our cities are growing fast and smart technology means traffic can more freely flow, without the need to stop at toll booths and barriers.

    When State Governments invest in toll roads, they are looking for partners who share their commitment to providing safer, smarter and more sustainable ways to travel, while better connecting communities and ensuring they can thrive into the future. That’s what we do. From designing, building and upgrading the roads, to continually researching the latest new vehicle and safety technology to ensure you get the best experience.

    Toll roads also allow governments to invest in other vital areas of community need such as health and education, with those who benefit most directly by using toll roads paying for each trip.   

    All toll roads however operate under Concession Deeds issued by governments, designed to ensure the needs of the community are are continually met.  Ongoing operations are closely regulated and scrutinised, and toll prices are set and approved by government.

  • Why are fines issued for unpaid toll road travel?

    We would prefer it if you never got a fine, and anyone struggling to pay for their tolls reached out for help before problems got this far. You can contact Linkt Assist if you are ever going through a difficult time and it is placing pressure on your finances.

    Fines are issued by State authorities only if all our efforts to contact you regarding your outstanding tolls have been unsuccessful, and we remain unaware of your situation.

    Transurban does not issue the fines. We do not profit from this process, and rarely recover our costs once a matter has been referred to infringement.

    As access to toll roads can’t be restricted like it can for other user pays services such as electricity and gas, an effective enforcement system is important to maintain the ongoing viability of toll roads, however the infringement system is our last and least preferred option.

  • What help is available for customers experiencing payment difficulties?

    Life doesn’t always go as planned – including your finances. If you're going through a tough time and are struggling to pay for your toll-road travel, we may be able to help.

    Please get in touch as soon as possible – today is better than tomorrow. The sooner we know about your situation, the sooner we can work together on finding a solution.

  • Why do you charge administration fees?

    We would rather no administration fees were charged and we’d love to help you avoid them, by ensuring you are always equipped with the best account, pass or payment arrangement, that enables you to get where you need to go, and you can comfortably pay for on time.

    If that doesn’t happen, after three days of using our roads, we start trying to contact you.

    Administration fees reflect the significant costs associated with collecting unpaid tolls, including specialist roadside equipment and technology, as well as the numerous systems, processes and back office functions involved.

    We are continually investing in products and services to make it easier to pay tolls and to help customers avoid administration fees.

    If you are unsure of which account, pass or payment arrangement is right for you, please call 13 33 31 or visit linkt.com.au.

  • What if I’m not happy with a decision?

    We will make every effort to resolve your issue to your satisfaction. Our Customer Resolution and Linkt Assist teams are here for you and, for particularly complex cases, we may even seek the advice of our internal Customer and Communities Advocate.

    However, if you are not happy with a decision, you can always take it to the Tolling Customer Ombudsman (TCO).

  • How do I contact the Tolling Customer Ombudsman?

    If you are not happy with a decision you can take it to the Tolling Customer Ombudsman (TCO).

    The Ombudsman will:

    • work with both you and Linkt to investigate your complaint
    • propose a solution

    Please note, the Ombudsman can’t manage complaints that:

    • have not been first raised with our Customer Care Group and Customer Resolutions teams
    • relate to infringement notices issued by the Authorities
    • arose before 1 August, 2006.

    The authorised TCO Tolling Customer Ombudsman can be contacted at tollingombudsman.com.au.
