NSW Drivers Could Be Losing Out on Big Toll Savings

Thousands of motorists across Sydney, particularly in Western Sydney, are taking advantage of the NSW Government’s $60 weekly toll cap. However, with over $140 million in rebates still unclaimed, many drivers may be leaving significant savings on the table.

Top Suburbs Benefiting from Toll Relief

Five suburbs have now joined the "$1 million club", meaning residents have claimed more than $1 million in toll relief:

Blacktown – $1.25 million claimed
Baulkham Hills – $1.23 million claimed
Auburn – $1.06 million claimed
Merrylands – $1 million claimed
Marsden Park – $1 million claimed

Despite these high figures, many eligible motorists have yet to claim their rebates. The government has set aside $215 million for toll relief, but only $75 million has been claimed so far.

How Much Can You Claim?

Motorists who have successfully claimed toll relief have received an average rebate of $277, while some high-use drivers in key suburbs have received more than $500. The program allows drivers to claim up to $340 per week per vehicle after exceeding the $60 toll threshold.

Suburbs where the average claim exceeds $300 include:

Auburn – $579 average claim
Lakemba – $567 average claim
Merrylands – $418 average claim
Blacktown – $336 average claim
Marsden Park – $379 average claim

Millions Still Unclaimed – Are You Missing Out?

While many drivers have successfully claimed their rebates, a significant portion remains unclaimed. For example:

Marsden Park drivers are eligible for $3.1 million in toll relief, but only $1 million has been claimed so far.
Greystanes drivers have access to $1.97 million, but only $660,000 has been claimed.

How to Claim Your Toll Relief

With the Q4 2024 claim period (Sept 30 – Dec 29) now open, an estimated 720,000 toll road users are eligible to receive refunds. However, only 276,000 claims have been processed so far.

To ensure you don’t miss out on your rebate, follow these steps:

Eligible motorists have until June 30, 2025, to claim rebates for 2024 toll expenses.

Government Response

Minister for Roads John Graham emphasized the importance of toll relief in addressing cost-of-living pressures:

"The $60 toll cap is a crucial support measure for thousands of drivers who rely on Sydney’s toll roads to commute and transport their families."

Minister for Customer Service Jihad Dib highlighted the impact on Western Sydney commuters:

"The data shows that drivers from the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, and Wollongong are also benefiting, demonstrating how widespread the relief is."
