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.
