Is your toll rebate waiting for you? 720,000 drivers could be missing out

A significant opportunity for Sydney drivers may be slipping through the cracks, and the NSW government is urging them to take action before it’s too late.
What started as a well-intended relief measure has left many motorists unaware of the potential benefits they could claim
As the clock ticks, the true extent of the situation becomes clearer, revealing just how many are still in the dark.
The NSW government is urging Sydney motorists to make use of its toll road relief scheme, with a staggering $140 million still unclaimed in the first year of the initiative.
This toll cap scheme, introduced in January 2024 by the Minns government, is designed to support residents in Western Sydney who face high toll costs.
Drivers who spend over $60 on tolls weekly can claim the excess back.
Despite $75 million already being paid out, Roads Minister John Graham is urging drivers to visit the Service NSW website and claim what they’re entitled to.
So far, more than 276,000 claims have been processed, with an average claim amount of $277.
The government reports that there are 115 suburbs, including Parramatta, Lidcombe, and Auburn, where the average claim exceeds $300.
Currently, 720,000 road users are eligible for relief, and the government is continuing talks with toll operators to push for broader reforms aimed at making tolls fairer for all drivers.
In a previous story, we explored how Aussies can claim up to $4,420 in toll relief rebates. Are you eligible?
