Thread: Etoll thing Where in a defender

Don't worry it will pick the signal up anywhere on the windscreen, the question is will you get charged the car price or a commercial vehicle price for your travelling.

Nah gets charged as a car. Already checked that and have a zone 2 priceing thing

I wouldn't worry about where it will work from. I used to have mine behind the rear vision mirror on the windscreen in my Rodeo (their nominated location). However since getting the Discovery I keep it in the centre console box and get it out when needed. So when needed I put it on the dash until it beeps and then it goes back into the console box.
One time I couldn't find it but I was already committed to the e-toll lane so just drove through anyway only to hear a faint beep. I found the unit later down in between the drivers seat and the centre console.
However on the few occaisions it has not beeped for whatever reason I have never heard back about it.

commercial is classed as a dualcab ute as far as i know thats down south

all the yuppies own single cab utes so i think they just get charged for a passenger car which doesnt sound right to me as more tradies use single cab utes

might pay to check the etag or toll company

I don't think we have that problem in Qld. We get charged on the number of axles. Although a car towing a trailer is just the car price and motorcycles are cheaper.
