The first toll relief rebate is right around the corner for Sydney drivers, who will be able to claim some cash back from next week.

From Tuesday next week, drivers who have spent more than $60 a week in tolls since January 1 are eligible to claim a refund of up to $310 per quarter.

More than $47 million in tolls collected since January 1 will be redistributed to over 350,000 registered toll account holders.

How much will drivers get back from the Toll Rebate Scheme?

Western Sydney motorists are slated to get the biggest returns, with Lakemba drivers expected to receive a $309 quarterly rebate.

Motorists from Auburn can expect a $266 rebate on average while Bankstown drivers can expect a $235 rebate.

Villawood toll users can expect a $227 rebate on average.

Kellyville, Baulkham Hills, Greystanes, Marsden Park and Moorebank have the most drivers eligible, all of which can expect between $145 and $195 back per quarter.

A toll cap has been enforced to ensure the scheme isn't taken advantage of, meaning drivers who spent over $400 will only be partially refunded $340.
