The e-toll account registration and the distribution of e-tags for Phase-1 of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) kicked off on Monday, the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral)<\/a> has announced.<\/p>\n

Sanral has encouraged all Gauteng e-road users to become “e-toll ready” by ensuring they have an e-tag, register for an e-toll account and fit their e-tag on the inside of their windscreen.<\/p>\n

The e-tags are available from e-toll customer service outlets located at malls in Gauteng or customer centres along the Gauteng e-road as well as from the participating retailers such as Checkers, Pick’n Pay and Shoprite.<\/p>\n

Bakwena e-tag holders can use their existing e-tags, but they need to register their e-toll account.<\/p>\n

Registrations can be done online at www.sanral.co.za, by phoning the e-toll call centre at 0800 SANRAL (726 725) or at the e-toll customer service outlets. Self-help terminals are available at the e-toll Customer Service Outlets.<\/p>\n

An initial deposit of R50 per vehicle registration is payable if the road user has not made the initial payment at the participating retailer already.<\/p>\n

The deposit and or payment made at a participating retail outlet will be credited to the e-road user’s e-toll Account, upon registration.<\/p>\n

Gauteng e-road users have the option to register a pre-paid account or a credit card settlement account.<\/p>\n

With a pre-paid account the road user has the option to have the e-toll account automatically topped-up from a nominated bank account, once a minimum amount has been reached, or they can top it up at a participating retailer or via the e-toll customer service outlet or with an electronic funds transfer (EFT).<\/p>\n

Gauteng e-road users who select a credit card settlement account can pay their tolls by linking the e-toll account to a credit card. Transactions are rolled up daily and one amount is deducted from the pre-registered credit card.<\/p>\n

The e-toll system was designed and implemented to conform to the internationally recognised Payment Card Industry Security Standard (PCI). PCI is a set of requirements designed to ensure that companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.<\/p>\n

Other System data, including passage data, gantry images and contact details are secured in a similar way according to international best practice.<\/p>\n

Special arrangements have been put in place for obtaining the e-tags and registering an e-toll Account for fleets and groups of 50 or more. Details are available from the e-toll website.<\/p>\n

All e-toll Account holders can manage their e-toll account online through the e-toll website, where they will be able to view and print all transactions.<\/p>\n

However, road users that choose not to have an e-tag, can pay their toll by registering their Vehicle Licence Plate Number or by buying a Day Pass.<\/p>\n

Cabinet earlier announced that qualifying commuter buses and taxis will be exempted from tolls on those routes for which they are registered to operate on.<\/p>\n

Application for this exemption is not open yet; however operators that choose to register an e-toll account now may still do so.<\/p>\n

Gauteng e-toll tags will only be operational at the Bakwena Toll Plazas from February next year on the Gauteng e-road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
