E-Tolls - How to pay?

[atomcrusher]

It's been almost 6 years since I left Gauteng (Randburg) and retired to a small town in the WC. Since then I have only driven through ONE toll, and that was the Hugenot Tunnel toll between Worcester & Paarl, and I can't remember what method I used to pay to pass that Toll

I will be driving from the WC to Joburg just before Xmas this year, and back home to the WC after Xmas.

There are a few tolls on the N1 that I will be passing through on the road north, and again heading back south to home.

But I can't remember what payment method I used back then.

What methods of payment are accepted at the N1 tolls? Obviously cash, but do they accept card payments? As in credit card, or my Petrol card?

Really?
I have a certain set of skills.

If you pay, I will hunt you down, I will find you, and I will key your car.

(If you're talking about etolls. If you mean the normal tollbooths on the freeway, pay with a credit card (not a debit card))

The normal tolls(booms across the road) can be paid with a CC and some petrol cards or cash.

To pay e-tolls you just have to make an obscene gesture as you pass under the camera, the more obscene the more value assigned to it, getting a passenger to drop trow and moon the gantry for example can get you close to R500 credit.

I didn't even know there was a difference between NI & N2 highway tolls, and those gantry e-tolls you Gauteng okes have. I didn't realise that there were more than one Robbing Hood organisation.

So the e-tolls are only in Gauteng, and at those (if I happen to pass under one) I will just smile, and make that compulsory obscene gesture.

You 'should' in theory not need to pay, you should get x number free(not sure if implemented/still applies?), but if you do register and go through 0 gantries or end up cancelling your trip and never go anywhere near JHB, odds are you'll get a bill for R20k'ish. Ie, just ignore anything e-toll related in JHB and if anything arrives in the mail, use for dustbin lining or balancing out a wobbly cupboard or something
