Forgot to Pay a Toll in Sydney? You Have 72 Hours to Open an Account or Buy a Pass, and What Happens After (Sydney, NSW)
If you drive on a Sydney toll road without a toll account or pass, Service NSW says you can still open an account or buy a pass up to 72 hours after the trip. After that, the registered operator of the vehicle may receive an unpaid toll reminder, and the clock gets much shorter. This guide sets out the steps in order, using only Service NSW, NSW Motorways and E-Toll pages checked on Saturday 7 November 2026.
