Hi,
this is going to be little bit off topic but is related to my kite-surfing trip to Australia (coming from Europe).

I will arrive to Brisbane mid of Oct and will go to Sunshine Coast by rental car.
I was just acknowledged that to get out from Brisbane I need to go through toll road and there are no gates (!!!).

I need to somehow(!) prepay it before I start or pay after I use (max 3 days).
The problem is how can I know that I am on the paid road and how do I recognize it specific name for later reporting and where do I pay for it ?
My guess is that there is a huge net of paid roads and as I am a newcomer I may get lost on the beginning.

I have also found whereis.com.au that actually can route me with toll free ways but its longer.
In general - I have no problem to pay a few dollars for better and faster road but how can I pay it and how can I find out what specific pay road/roads I have used ?

Thanks in advance for any advices

Edit: I will start from: 330 Nudgee Road Hendra (Ace Rental Cars, next to Airport) to Sunshine Coast.

There is no tolls for this journey in both directions. Get on the Gateway Motorway northbound and go - unless it is mid to late afternoon, in this case it is get on the motorway and sit in gridlock....

Here’s the site gcdave is talking about; basically it’s the company that looks after tolls around Brisbane. I think the last time I rented a car in Brisbane the rental company back charged me the tolls I accidently went through on return of the vehicle, so check with your rental company (saves prepaying as I don't think they will credit back unused toll prepayments). Happy holidays

You are awesome people here :D
Thanks for all advices.

whereis.com.au also shows to me that there are no toll roads to Sunshine Cost...
See here:

However, by looking at:
www.linkt.com.au/brisbane
I can see that Gateway Motorway is actually toll road and at some point I must go into it...
How is that for real ?

Should I also expect toll roads around Sunshine Coast and up north ?

Cheers,
czezz

Yes true stories Brisbane airport to sunshine coast no toll. Brisbane airport to gold coast toll at gateway bridge.

Hi czezz, I'm not familiar with Ace rentals or what arrangements you have made but just letting you know there is a bus that goes every hour from Brisbane Airport to the Sunshine Coast.

pm me if you would like their details or if you have any questions you'd like answered by a sunny coast local.

What is the usual wind direction at that time (between 19.10 - 06.11) ?
Im thinking also to spend some time in Hervey Bay but that part is little bit covered from E and SE.
