Before Contacting Us: Preparation is Key

To help us address your concerns as quickly and accurately as possible, please ensure you have gathered all relevant information before reaching out. This proactive step can significantly reduce the time required to resolve your query and prevents unnecessary back-and-forth communication.

Identify Your Specific Query
Clearly define what information you are seeking or what problem you are experiencing. Is it about a specific toll section, a type of vignette, a penalty notice, or a technical issue with a GO-Box?
Reference Our Existing Resources
Have you thoroughly reviewed our website sections on Vignettes, GO-Box, Special Toll Sections, and our FAQ page? Often, the answer you seek is already available there.
Gather Relevant Details
Depending on your query, this might include:
  • Vehicle type and registration number.
  • Date and time of incident (if applicable).
  • Specific toll road or tunnel in question.
  • Any reference numbers from penalty notices or previous communications.
  • Screenshots of error messages or relevant web pages.
  • Proof of purchase for vignettes or GO-Boxes (receipts, order confirmations).
Outline Your Question Clearly
Formulate your question concisely. Avoid overly long descriptions if a shorter one will suffice, but include all critical details. Bullet points can be very helpful.

By preparing thoroughly, you enable our support team to understand your situation immediately and provide a focused, effective response.
