If you use a toll road during your hire, you must purchase a toll pass within 5 business days.
If you wish to avoid toll roads altogether, you can adjust your GPS or map settings to “avoid tolls.”

Important Reminder
It is the hirer’s responsibility to pay all toll road fees incurred during the hire period.
If we receive unpaid toll notices:
A $75 administration fee will be charged for transferring the toll from our business name to yours
Once transferred, you will also need to pay the toll/fine itself
This process creates significant additional work, so please ensure tolls are paid on time to avoid extra charges.
