Hi,

I'm going down to the Gold coast from CQ next weekend.

Does anyone know if i can prepay for the Gateway TOLL now that they've gone to ETAG only??

Thanks

Josh

Goto their website www.etoll.com.au

They have to post out to ya the sensor thing the cameras scan for that you put on your rear vision mirror

Min pre paid is $20.

In short, yes you need to pre-pay and you will need to order a tag also.

You can do credit card too btw

if you don't want to prepay 20 bux and get a tag and only want to do a trip or two, you can just drive through and then you have 3 days to pay. I think you can also do it in advance. Check out www.govia.com.au

Yeah i got told to go to www.govia.com.au and do it..

I'll only be going through there twice so no use me getting a tag...

Pretty easy to do and only $0.40 + Toll..

Remember that the tag itself is free, its just a minimum purchase of 20 bucks of toll money. Pretty sure that it doesn't expire either.

hm..... honestly i would just forget about the toll as most of the time it's equally fast to go through the city

If you go through the tolls without a tag, you have 3 days to pay.

Info should be on here somewhere.

Only problem is that it will take the full 3 days to get through to 1300 0GOVIA to pay it. I ordered a tag online over a week ago and havent seen any sign of it yet, used the tolls on the weekend and still having troubles getting through to do anything about it.

They're probably getting absolutely smashed by people in exactly the same situation, there would be thousands of people ringing them since the booths were shut down. If you can't get through before the 3 days is up, just politely explain the situation and they may waive any late fees/fines/whatever. They'd have to know that getting through to them isn't real easy at the moment so there's a fair chance they're willing to be a bit more accommodating than they might otherwise be.

Worth a go anyway

So this is if you don't pay prior??

I've went to Govia.com.au and put in my travel and credit card details. my opinion was that when my car gets flagged for not having a tag they find it and pay it and charge your credit card...

if u have set up an account and not yet received the tags you are able to go through the tolls the photo taken of your vehicle will be linked to your account assuming your travelling in the vehicle you registered on your account.

Yep I thought they would video match if you dont have the tag. I Eventually got through to them the other day, my account does exist I just never got a confirmation email or anything. 2 wks+ on the tags but its not a big concern.
