E-TAG, E-PASS, E-WAY ... E-HELP! Which one is best for infrequent traveller?

In NSW - We've been on the M7 and M5 twice (return trips) this year without any electronic gizmo and just paying later, but I suspect we're getting ripped off (admin fees etc) doing it this way so we'd like to buy one which is best suited for someone using these toll roads maybe 2-3 times a year.

I've done some research and only gotten more confused.

Please help :)

    $40 security deposit for up to 3 tags, no ongoing fees.

    Convenient to obtain and return.

    These guys are who i use for the M5. they give you a statement that automatically separates the M5 trips eligible for the cashback.

    For infrequent use, you could simply grab their:

    No frills tag account for one vehicle. Manual payments only, through a range of channels.

    Buy tag outright. $80 tag pack includes the tag (not refundable) and $40 worth of tolls

    They do not charge the $40 or so that other providers do for the tag up front. You only get charged this if you do not return it if you close your account.

    Works on all toll roads Australia-wide as I understand.

    Probably the best for an infrequent traveller.

  • In 2001 my wife and I crossed Sydney Harbour Bridge and followed a sign saying E-Way to discover we should not have, and received a fine several days later. I phoned the manager and explained the sign said nothing more than E-Way and E has meant East on maps and signs for a thousand years. He explained they were unable to call it E-Toll for copyright reasons and there was no space for Electronic. He told me to tear up the fine.

  • Thanks for all the suggestions, I ended up getting the MyeToll option, though all were great options.

  • Guys, need an e-tag cause stupid M4
