ALMOST 40 per cent of the drivers entitled to toll relief have been missing out on hundreds of dollars in savings.
Drivers are being reminded to link their e-tags to their MyService NSW account to ensure they benefit from discounts on their vehicle registration.
Launched in July 2018, the NSW Government’s Toll Relief program provides free private vehicle registration on one vehicle linked to that account for drivers who have spent $1,352 or more in tolls in the previous financial year, with drivers who spend $811 in a financial year eligible for half-price registration.
More than $60 million has been collectively saved by drivers this financial year, with an average saving of $347, but data also shows that 37 percent of eligible customers aren’t claiming their discount.
Minister for Transport and Roads, Andrew Constance, says the program was implemented to help ease the cost of living and he wants everyone who is eligible to take advantage of the benefits they are entitled to.
“More than $60 million has been collectively saved by drivers this financial year, with an average saving of $347, but data also shows that 37 percent of eligible customers aren’t claiming their discount, and we want to fix that,” he said.
If you believe you’re eligible for free or half-price vehicle registration through Toll Relief, but were unable to make a claim when renewing your registration, you can apply via your MyService NSW account to have your claim reviewed.
