NSW Drivers Missing Out on Millions in Toll Relief

Sydney Drivers Could Be Leaving Money on the Table

Motorists across Sydney, especially those in Western Sydney suburbs, are reaping the benefits of the NSW Government’s $60 weekly toll cap. However, with over $140 million in rebates still unclaimed, many drivers may be missing out on substantial toll relief.

Top Suburbs Benefiting from Toll Relief

Five suburbs have now entered the "$1 million club," where paid claims have exceeded $1 million. These suburbs include:

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 allocated a total of $215 million for toll relief, with only $75 million paid out so far.

How Much Can You Claim?

On average, motorists who have successfully claimed toll relief have received $277 back, while some high-use drivers in key suburbs have seen rebates of over $500. The scheme allows drivers to claim up to $340 per week per vehicle after passing the $60 threshold.

Suburbs where the average claim is above $300 include:

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

Unclaimed Millions: Who’s Missing Out?

While many drivers have already received rebates, large sums remain unclaimed. In Marsden Park, for example, eligible motorists have $3.1 million available, yet only $1 million has been claimed so far. Similarly, in Greystanes, over $1.97 million is available, but only $660,000 has been claimed.

How to Claim Your Toll Relief

With the claim period for Q4 of 2024 (Sept 30 – Dec 29) now open, 720,000 toll road users are eligible to make a claim, yet only 276,000 claims have been processed.

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

Government Response

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

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

Minister for Customer Service Jihad Dib highlighted the importance of Western Sydney in the rebate scheme:

"The data shows drivers from the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, and Wollongong are also benefiting, proving just how far the relief extends."
