Toll Pass

Choose the Hertz Toll Day Pass to simplify your rental experience.

Managing toll payments can be difficult and time consuming. We have simplified how we process road tolls so you can focus on getting to your destination on time.

The Hertz Toll Day Pass is an opt-in system that covers all toll charges under one flat daily amount which allows unlimited toll usage during your rental period. You can choose this option at any time during your rental and the daily flat fee will appear on your rental agreement/invoice.

Due to varying toll prices in different States, the Hertz Toll Day Pass will be calculated based on the State where you collect your car.

Rates for passenger vehicles are:  

    -      NSW: $18.70 per rental day
    -      VIC: $17.00 per rental day
    -      QLD: $13.20 per rental day
    -      ACT: $12.10 per rental day
    -      WA $11.00 per rental Day
    -      SA: $12.10 per rental day

Rates for Commercial vehicles are: 
  
    -      All States: $25.85 per rental day

All prices are inclusive of GST. Heavy vehicles incur a higher variable toll charge per rental day due to higher toll prices.

Suitable for longer term rentals, there is an alternative option that records all toll roads you’ve driven on and you will be invoiced for the actual toll amounts plus a per rental processing fee shortly after your rental.

Should you choose to make your own arrangements with the Tolling Authority direct this must be done prior to the using the toll road. The 24-72hr window advised by Tolling Authorities are not applicable to a rental car with Hertz.

Fuel Purchase Options

Ever thought how much easier it would be if you could just hand back your hire car with an empty tank, without incurring any extra fuel charges at the counter?

So did we. Which is why we came up with the Hertz Flexible Fuel Purchase Option.

Here's how it works
1. Buy a full tank at the start (FPO)
When you pick up your hire car, choose to include a full tank of fuel in advance. If you return the car and the tank isn’t full, you won’t face a refuelling charge to top it back up. Away you go with nothing more to pay. No last-minute trip to the petrol station. No fuel top-up charges.

2. Buy a half tank at the start
It may be more convinient to pay for a half tank of fuel at the start of the rental and save time on refuelling by returning the vehicle with only half a tank of fuel. Like the full tank option if you rent the car and the tank is half full you won't be charged a refuelling charge to top it back up.

Please note that we do not provide a refund for unused fuel.
