Introduction

If you believe you’re eligible for free or half-price vehicle registration through Toll Relief but were unable to make a claim when renewing your registration, you can apply to have your claim reviewed.

You can also request a review if you do not meet the eligibility criteria, but you believe your circumstances should be given special consideration.

Eligibility

The Toll Relief program started on 1 July 2018. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you're entitled to either one free 12-month rego or one half-price 12-month rego for one car, ute, 4WD or motorcycle.

To be eligible for Toll Relief reimbursement, you need to be a NSW resident and have:

  • a NSW personal toll account such as Linkt or E-Toll – if you've moved from interstate, check with your toll provider that you now have a NSW personal account suitable for Toll Relief
  • your licence plate linked to your toll account
    • make sure you keep your licence plate number/s and your contact details up to date with your toll provider.
  • spent the minimum yearly threshold or more on NSW toll roads in the 2020-21 financial year while driving a NSW privately registered light vehicle.
Financial year Minimum spend for free rego Minimum spend for half-price rego
2018-19 $1,300 ($25/week average) $780 ($15/week average)
2019-20 $1,352 ($26/week average) $811 ($16/week average)
2020-21 $1,406 ($27/week average) $843 ($16/week average)
2021-22 $1,462 ($28/week average) $877 ($17/week average)

Note: Minimum toll spend requirements increase by 4% each year.

You may be eligible for Toll Relief special consideration if you:

  • changed your toll provider last financial year, and your accounts when combined reach the eligible spend
  • were not eligible for Toll Relief at the time of registration but become eligible before the end of the financial year
  • have more than one eligible toll account

  • have sold your vehicle
  • believe someone else has used your entitlement.
