A transponder is a small electronic device that you attach to your windshield behind the rear-view mirror. Each transponder has an individual signal that's picked up by sensors at entry and exit points on the highway.
Leasing a transponder for $29.50 per year or $4.75 per month is the best way to travel Highway 407 ETR. After three round trips, your transponder pays for itself. Don't pay camera charges or account fees. Learn more.
Transponders should be mounted to the inside of your front windshield, about five to 10 centimetres from the top of your windshield. More tips on installing your transponder.
If you're no longer taking three or more trips per year, you can easily return your transponder. Simply print a pre-paid label, package the transponder and drop it in the nearest mailbox. See all return options.
If your transponder is lost or stolen, follow the steps below to report it immediately online to ensure that you don't receive charges that aren't yours. You are responsible for any charges up until the time you report your transponder lost or stolen.
To report your transponder lost or stolen:
Log into My Account If you don't have a My Account, create one now.
From the overview page, select "Transponders & Plates" from the left menu.
Click "Report Lost Transponder" from the sub-menu.
Select the transponder you wish to report, and click 'Submit'.
No sharing, please. Sharing of transponders will result in additional camera charges. Additional transponders can be leased at a discounted rate. Lease an additional transponder.
If your new plate is registered under the same name, follow the steps below to add your new plate online. If your new plate is in a different name, the registered plate owner needs to lease a new transponder in their name.
To add a new licence plate:
Log into My Account If you don't have a My Account, create one now.
Select “Transponders & Plates” from the overview page on the left navigation menu
Click “Add Plate”
Enter plate information and submit.

No. A transponder is not required, as motorcycles are not subject to camera charges. To avoid the monthly account fee, consolidated your motorcycle to another account that has a transponder.
Camera Charges can occur when a transponder battery is low or dead, the transponder is not mounted on the windshield, your vehicle has a metalized windshield, or the transponder is being used between vehicles.
If your transponder is not shared between vehicles and you received a Camera Charge, you can request a charge adjustment through your MyAccount if:
The Camera Charge(s) is from your most recent statement
Your 407 ETR account has an equal number of registered transponders to plates
To request a Camera Charge adjustment:
Log into My Account If you don't have a My Account, create one now.
Click on your most recent statement under "Recent Activities".
Click on "Request Charge Adjustment".
Select your account number and click "Go".
If you still need help, please chat with a live agent.

Questions? We’re happy to help. Please contact us for questions or more information on registering your transponder-equipped vehicle.
Camera Charges are billed on a per trip basis when our system does not detect a transponder in your vehicle, and our overhead cameras take a picture of your licence plate.
Learn more about 407 ETR Complete Fee Details.
If you plan to take three or more round trips per year, leasing a transponder can save you money.
What is an Account Fee?
An Account Fee is added to non-transponder accounts during months when there is usage on the account. This fee covers the cost of managing and maintaining the account.
What is a Flat Toll?
Flat Tolls are rare and appear on invoices when either the entry or exit of your trip is not captured by our system and a sufficient trip history has not been established.
For light vehicles without a transponder, a Light Video Flat Toll will apply.
For heavy vehicles with a transponder where there are fewer than 10 trips recorded for that transponder over the past 72 days, or more than 25% of trips did not accurately record either the entry or exit point, a Heavy Vehicle Flat Toll will apply.
To help avoid flat tolls, please mount transponders as recommended.
What is a Calculated Trip?
Calculated trips are rare and appear on invoices when either the entry or exit of your trip is not captured by our system.
For light vehicles with a transponder, the trip is calculated based on the median distance of the trips taken with the transponder in the preceding 72 days.
When a calculated trip appears on your bill it is marked with an asterisk(*).
When a calculated trip appears on the invoice it will be marked with an asterisk(*).
What is a Trip Toll Charge?
The Trip Toll Charge is the starting rate of your trip and is billed per trip to all customers (transponder and non-transponder customers) each time you enter Highway 407 ETR.
We offer a variety of convenient ways to pay your bill. Set up pre-authorized payments, pay through your bank or through our mobile app. See all payment options.

Highway 407 ETR is an all electronic, open-access toll highway serving the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) since 1999. Our highway spans 108 kilometres from QEW in the west to Brock Rd. in the east. Our state-of-the-art automated tolling systems means there are no toll booths to slow down your journey. Learn more.
Your trip's cost is determined by several factors: your vehicle type and dimensions, travel time, day of the week, highway section and direction. Your fees go towards essential services, including safety measures, highway maintenance, snow removal and policing to ensure your trip is as safe and smooth as possible. View all rates and fees. Calculate your trip before you drive.
If you drive with a rental vehicle on Highway 407 ETR, the bill is sent to the rental car company directly (as the owner of the vehicle). It's up to the rental company to decide how to bill you for toll charges and/or additional administrative fees.
If you use your transponder in a rental vehicle, because there is no relationship between your transponder and the rental vehicle, charges will be billed to the rental company directly. These charges cannot be transferred to your account and the rental company will bill you for tolls and administrative fees.
If your vehicle is damaged while driving on Highway 407 ETR, you may submit a Damage Claim form.
Important information you should know when reporting a damage claim:
Your claim must be received within 30 days of the incident date.
407 ETR will conduct a full investigation of our operational records with a response normally returned to sender within 10 business days.
The damage claim form must be fully complete in order for us to investigate.
If damage to your vehicle was caused by another motorist travelling on Highway 407 ETR, neither 407 ETR or our service providers are responsible for such damage, and associated claims will be declined. Please contact your insurance company and the police to report the incident.

Exceptional Hardship Plan - If you've accumulated significant outstanding tolls and fees and will suffer “exceptional hardship” if you can't renew your licence plate(s).
If you have questions about these programs or would like to explore other payment options, please call 1-866-237-6471 Ext. 6004.
If your licence plate is lost or stolen, report it immediately with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to ensure that you do not receive charges that aren’t yours.

Full police report (not just the police report number)
