What should I do if I missed my toll in Sydney
Traveling on a toll road without a tag or a pass incurs costs that are primarily dependent on the number of days ago you have travelled. There are three options depending on how many days it has been since you travelled through the missed toll.
| 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. |
Though a tag account can cover trips made up to 10 days ago on all toll roads in New South Wales, it does not cover Sydney Harbour Bridge & Sydney Harbour Tunnel. If you are paying for past travel on these two roads, a separate pass is required.
