Hi all,

I have started a new job and have to supply my own tag, I will be reimbursed for work trips which might be a lot as I'll be on the road a bit.

Has any one got any tips or suggestions, I have had a quick look but not sure which one is better, I am able to claim expenses weekly but not sure if statements are weekly or monthly and if the are easy enough to get hold of. Costs involved?

Best value?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I use a Melbourne Citilink E-Tag.........I found that to be the best value at the time i was shopping around.

Hi

If your in a privately registered car you can claim cashback on the M5. I use Tollpay https://www.tollpay.com.au/

I get quarterly statements for cashback

Best tip: move to W.A., no e-tags!

To be honest I just use the RTA (RMS???) E-tag - it has monthly statements and only has the initial fee then automatically tops up when it drops

Haven't had any issues with it; and assigning it to a particular car isn't necessary; plus it works in Vic and QLD

I,ve got e-tag Roam tolling.they have statements every quarter.You might be able to go paperless and do it all online with your account like the banks do.

Normally if it beeps twice it isn,t working correctly and you have to contact the company to get it fixed or replaced.
