Toll roads offer customers more choice when they travel. But is taking a toll road a good fit for your needs? Here are four benefits that might make toll roads worthwhile for you.
1. Save time
By taking a toll road, you can reduce the amount of time you spend commuting, with no traffic lights to slow you down.
If you are wondering how much time you could be saving, we have you covered. The Linkt app can calculate estimated time savings using TomTom historic travel time data that compares the fastest tolled and non-tolled routes.
Based on travel data from September to December 2024, Linkt customers may have saved an estimated 99.8 minutes per month by choosing toll roads.
2. Reduce your fuel costs
Taking a toll road could save you money on fuel since toll roads tend to offer faster and more consistent travel times compared to alternative stop-start routes.
Research has found that Australians save an average of $2M a day by taking our toll roads as compared to toll-free alternative routes.

3. Have safer trips
Transurban’s roads are on average at least twice as safe compared to like roads in each state (that is, freeways or motorways) according to Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC)’s 2024 analysis.
Our toll roads are developed with world-class smart technology to improve safety. We monitor our roads 24/7, so we are on the scene within minutes when incidents occur.
4. Reduce wear and tear
Your tolls support the maintenance and upkeep of toll roads. High quality roads can help reduce wear and tear on your vehicle as you experience optimised road design and have safer trips.
