The difference between tags and passes

Tags

An electronic tag is a device that you place in your vehicle. It should beep when you pass through toll points.

Tags are the easiest way to pay tolls, and are cost efficient, even if you only travel on toll roads occasionally.

Tag providers generally ask you pay a security deposit and a pre-paid toll balance. You also nominate a top-up amount, which is charged when the toll balance drops below a certain amount.

All tags issued in Australia work on all toll roads throughout the country. So for example you can use a tag issued in NSW when driving on toll roads in Queensland or Victoria.

Passes

Toll passes are a temporary toll payment arrangement. Your number plate is recorded in the tolling systems, and then read and matched by a camera as you pass through toll points.

If you are visiting Sydney, or use toll roads very rarely, this may be a better option for you than a tag. However, you will be charged a video matching fee on top of the toll for each trip on a toll road.

You only need one pass to cover your trips on all of Sydney’s toll roads.

Generally, passes are only valid for the state they're issued in. Linkt is the only provider of passes that are valid in all states.

You can either set up a pass before you use the toll road, or up to 3 days afterwards.
