Motorists have two weeks to claim a about $100 million in unclaimed toll relief before it disappears into state government coffers.

Since the $60 toll cap was put in place at the start of last year, more than $139 million has been returned to motorists who have claimed the rebate.

However, thousands of others are yet to claim their entitlement with the vast majority residing in Western Sydney.

The latest toll relief figures show there is $130 million yet to be claimed for the period starting when the cap was introduced to the end of the first quarter of this year.

While motorists will be able to claim tolls paid for this year, June 30 will be the last date on which toll relief accrued over last year will be able to be claimed.

The Minns government has also yet to commit to extending the $60 cap program beyond the two years it has promised.

As part of a “fair use” provision in place, motorists can claim up to a maximum of $340 per week for each tag or licence plate number after they pass $60 paid on tolls in any one week.

Drivers who believe they are eligible for relief after having spent more than $60 a week on toll trips should visit the Service NSW website, and link their toll account to the MyServiceNSW account to claim.

Toll relief claims for the second quarter of this year will open on July 9, with rebates for the entire 2025 year able to be claimed until June 30 next year.

As for motorists who have been claiming relief, a breakdown of suburbs show more than $2 million has gone back to residents in each of Blacktown, Baulkham Hills and Auburn.

More than $1 million in relief has been distributed in each of Merrylands, Marsden Park, Castle Hill, Quakers Hill, Lakemba, Kellyville, Bankstown, Greystanes, West Pennant Hills and Punchbowl.

Transport Minister John Graham said the relief was providing critical cost-of-living support and urged motorists to check of they were eligible.

“June 30 is the last day to claim toll relief that was accrued in calendar year 2024 and we want to remind people that the claims process is a simple, online process via Service NSW,” he said.

The relief comes as the Minns government continues progressing toll reform in negotiation with the private toll road concessionaires.
