From July 2026 you cannot nominate another driver to pay a toll
If your vehicle travels on a NSW toll road you must pay the toll, even if someone else was driving. If the driver owes you money for the toll you can ask them to pay you back. This applies to toll trips taken from July 2026.
If you received a paper toll notice for a trip taken before July 2026, you may be eligible to submit a statutory declaration to nominate another driver.
