Find out how business drivers can earn points and access discounts when using expressways.

This scheme allows drivers to earn rewards and savings when using electronic toll collection systems on expressways.

Who it's for

This program is intended for drivers who use expressways for business purposes. If your travel is related to your professional work, this scheme may be applicable to you.

What you get

The scheme provides two main types of benefits. First, you can earn points that can be used toward future toll payments. Second, you can access off-peak discounts, which provide cost savings depending on when you travel on the expressway.

What it costs you
