EastLink Tolls commenced 26th July 2008

 

EastLink runs between Ringwood and Frankston providing seamless access to the Eastern, Monash, and Frankston Freeways, with 39km of motorway, by-passing more than 45 traffic lights. Tolls now apply to all trips on EastLink. Motorists who don’t have a tag or non-tag account will need to buy a trip pass, which provides access to EastLink for a single trip in one direction. Each trip pass costs $4.96 for a car, $2.49 for a motorcycle, $7.94 for a light commercial vehicle and $13.16 for a heavy commercial vehicle. There is an additional trip pass purchase fee ($2.37) when buying one or more trip passes at an over the counter location instead of by phone or online at Breeze.com.au

 

The price of your trip on EastLink will depend on the class of your vehicle, and the EastLink toll zones you travel on.

 

Motorcycles won't use tags. Instead, motorcyclists need a Breeze non-tag account or an EastLink trip pass. If you have a car and a motorcycle, you can have a Breeze tag account, with one tag for your car, and link the number plate details of your motorcycle to the same tag account. Motorcycles are not charged the video image processing fee that is usually charged in addition to the toll for each non-tag trip on EastLink. Motorcycle tolls cost half of the equivalent car tolls, and range from 17 cents up to a toll cap of $2.49.  Motorcycles are two-wheeled motor vehicles (including those with sidecars)

 

Toll discounts will be available for the first time on a tollway in Australia. The toll discounts apply to cars using a tag or non-tag account. Cars travelling on weekends and public holidays will be eligible for a 20% discount. To calculate eligibility for a discount on a weekend, the trip on EastLink must start after midnight on the Friday of the weekend and before midnight on the Sunday of the same weekend. To calculate eligibility for a discount on a public holiday, the trip on EastLink must start after midnight on the day preceding the public holiday and before midnight on that same public holiday. Times are by reference to Melbourne local time. Public holidays are as appointed as public holidays in Melbourne under the Public Holidays Act 1993 (Vic). Cars travelling on a single toll zone only (weekdays only, excluding trips through an EastLink tunnel or on public holidays) will also be eligible for a 20% discount.

The tolls above will apply until 30 June 2009. EastLink tolls will change annually in line with inflation. Tolls will change on 1 July each year. If you drive on EastLink, and you don't have a tag, non-tag account or trip pass, you'll be able to buy a trip pass up to 3 days after your trip. If you forget to buy a trip pass, EastLink will send a toll invoice to the registered owner of the vehicle. The toll invoice will be for the amount of the toll plus an administration fee. The toll invoice is like a safety net, to give you a last chance to pay a toll before an infringement notice is issued by Victoria Police.

Breeze tag accounts, non-tag accounts and business accounts are available now. EastLink trip passes are also available.  Visit Breeze.com.au or phone 13 LINK (13 54 65) for more information.
