Driving on toll roads with a hire car

Melbourne has several toll roads. All toll roads in Melbourne are cashless, so vehicles are identified for billing purposes when passing under toll gantries without stopping. Identification occurs either through communication with an electronic tag fitted inside the vehicle or with cameras that can read vehicle number plates.

When hiring a vehicle, there are usually standard arrangements in place to cover the payment of road tolls, however renters should always confirm the nature of those arrangements. Many hire car companies allow renters to have tolls incurred automatically billed to them, so renters may not need to be concerned about driving on a toll road or payment.
