Sydney Tolls, Fuel & Road Rules
Sydney's motorway network uses cashless electronic tolling (e-tag). Our vehicles are equipped for seamless electronic toll recording. Any tolls incurred are charged directly to your payment card at the exact motorway toll authority rate without inflated administration penalties.
Our standard policy is Full-to-Full. You receive the vehicle with a full tank of unleaded or premium petrol and return it full. If returned with less fuel, refuelling is charged at local pump rates plus a standard refuelling service charge.
Rental vehicles must be driven exclusively on gazetted, sealed public roads. Driving on off-road tracks, beaches, or unsealed bushland trails is strictly prohibited under standard rental insurance terms.
