Here are the toll fees in Philippine expressways

As Filipinos observe Holy Week next week, it is expected that many city dwellers will travel to different provinces starting this weekend, therefore, a high volume of motorists is anticipated to use the toll expressways across the country.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why are toll fees required?

    Toll fees are required when passing along toll expressways in order to support and sustain the operation of the road.
  • Are there any vehicles that are exempted from toll fees?

    Public firetrucks and ambulances; marked vehicles of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology; and marked impounding vehicles from Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) are exempted from the toll fees.
  • What is the recommended payment method on toll roads?

    Paying through RFID is still recommended as it guarantees a convenient and hassle-free drive.
  • Can I still pay cash though?

    Yes, cash lanes on the SLEX and NLEX are still open.
  • Before heading out to your travel destination, it is important to know the fees that you need to pay for passing along the toll roads so we have listed down below the updated toll fees for the expressways across the Philippines.

    NLEX Connector

    The newly opened NLEX Connector is toll-free for now. NLEX Corporation has yet to announce when they will begin collecting toll fees for the new toll road.

    Toll fee exemption

    Public firetrucks and ambulances; marked vehicles of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology; and marked impounding vehicles from Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) are exempted from the toll fees.

    Even though private firetrucks and ambulances are not exempted, toll booth operators may grant exemption to responding emergency vehicles, regardless of whether they are publicly or privately owned.

    Toll payment methods

    Cash lanes on the SLEX and NLEX are still open since vehicle owners are still adjusting with the RFID system. If you prefer to pay with cash, take note that cash lanes may be congested and cause few delays.

    Paying through RFID is still recommended as it guarantees a convenient and hassle-free drive, whether you are using Autosweep RFID or Easytrip RFID.
