Can I use LinktGO for rental or hire cars?
When driving a rental vehicle, please check with your rental company first about how to pay for planned or unplanned toll road travel, as many of their vehicles come equipped with toll payment accounts. Below is a list of companies that have accounts and are not suitable to use with LinktGO.
Ace Rentals, Alpha Car Hire, Andy's Auto, Avis, Apex, Atlas Car, Budget, Bargain, Bear Rentals, Bike Round OZ, Brisbane Car Rentals, Carnet Rentals, East Coast Car Rentals, EuropCar, Freebie Rentals, Haynes Hire, Hertz, Jucy Car Rental, LTD Bus & Truck Rentals, Mobile Truck Rental, Newcastle Rental, PHD Refrigerated Van Rentals, Redspot, Rent-a-Bomb Mascot, Rent-a-Ride, Rentco, Roadway Rental Car, RTH Refrigerated Transport Hire, Save Rent-a-Car, Southern Cross, Sydney Ute Van Hire, Thrifty, Turnbull’s
If your rental company gives you the option to pay for your own tolls, you can use LinktGO. Download and register the rental vehicle licence plate to LinktGO before driving on a toll road.
When adding the vehicle, tap Rental Vehicle? to add an end date. This is the date and time you’d like LinktGO to stop applying the rental vehicle’s toll travel to your app. We recommend setting it to the time you return the rental so that you don’t get sent the next driver’s trips. Don't worry, even after you've removed the vehicle, you'll receive your trips for payment.
Android: Menu > My vehicles > Add vehicle
iOS: More > My vehicles > Add vehicle
If you set your end date for less than 24 hours, you may see a warning recommending you keep the vehicle registered for a minimum of 24 hours. When you travel on the roads below, it takes 24 hours for that road to register your arrangement with LinktGO. Arranging for less than 24 hours may result in a toll notice or toll invoice with added fees, so we recommend extending your registration time to ensure your toll travel is covered.
Register for at least 24 hours if you plan to travel on the following roads:
- Cross City Tunnel (NSW)
- Sydney Harbour Bridge/Tunnel (NSW)
- M5 South-West Motorway (NSW)
- EastLink (VIC)
If you've already travelled, LinktGO can cover travel for up to 3 days prior to registering to the app.
See I took a trip before registering to LinktGO.
Alternatively, you can open an account at linkt.com.au, to cover travel up to 7 days prior to registering.
