WHY USE LINKTGO

- No tag, no start-up costs, no minimum balance
Download the app, enter your number plate and a credit card or PayPal account and start driving immediately.

Pay for tolls only when you use them. Notifications remind you when payment is due. Forgot to pay straight away? No stress – LinktGO will automatically charge your saved payment method if trips become overdue, so you can keep you driving. 

- Already travelled?
Pay for past toll trips by registering to LinktGO within 5 days (3 days for some roads^) of travelling and selecting when you travelled. And as long as you pay on time, you’re now covered for all future trips, too. 

- Pay instantly
LinktGO displays your trip details in real time. Review and pay as you go directly from the app.

- You’re in control

### 5/5 — Don’t shut this great service down!

*2025-09-17, version 4.10.0*

It’s a great low fuss option for people like myself that travell to the Brisbane airport for worg

### 5/5 — Sad to see you go.

*2025-09-17, version 4.10.0*

Brilliant app far less convoluted and fairer to the consumer than the successor. 
No double dipping or cash grabbing. 
Sad to see LinktGo going going gone…………

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-09-15, version 4.10.0*

Unbelievable great app for every single driver in Australia

### 5/5 — Don’t go

*2025-09-08, version 4.10.0*

The app is the best and easiest way to pay tolls! What are you thinking! I hate the car buzzer I’ve had it before and it is a nightmare!!!

### 5/5 — So sad this app is leaving

*2025-09-02, version 4.10.0*

I legit do not understand why this app is leaving. It’s so handy and convenient when it comes to paying tolls. Now it’s going to become more costly and a nightmare to pay for tolls. I hope that whoever made the executive decision to get rid of this app trips and falls into a ditch :( not happy

### 5/5 — Love LinktGO

*2025-09-01, version 4.10.0*

I travel to Sydney once a year. LinktGO is perfect for this particular trip. Easy to pay tolls after their reminder.

### 5/5 — LinkGO ending

*2025-08-23, version 4.10.0*

So sad. Was a great App!

### 5/5 — Retirement

*2025-08-22, version 4.10.0*

Great app. Convenient & easy to use. Complete act of company bastardry to retire app & force users to supply an interest free loan to transurban inc.

### 5/5 — Great app. Sad to see it go.

*2025-08-21, version 4.10.0*

This app made recording and paying my tolls easy. I’m a casual toll road user, only travelling in them a few times a year. I didn’t have to think about it. It took care of everything. Before this app I was always getting charged stupid amounts of late fees for toll sections I travelled and forgot to check in. I will hate to see it go 😞

### 1/5 — App going

*2025-08-20, version 4.10.0*

This app will cease to exist after 18 sept 2025
Though some people will still be down loading it. We going to be forced to use the linkt app that will be harder to use, takes more money from your account in top ups, and basically will be a rip off, unless you go out of your way to get a tag. Not everyone wants a dam tag. LinkT should get with the times. We charged enough for tolls as it is.
