Who doesn’t love going on a road trip! They are relatively cheap compared to railways and airways, and there is an element of adventure attached to road trips. However, traveling without knowledge of the route’s toll plazas and their fees can be both cumbersome and expensive. So, to prepare yourself for the journey, it is best to know in advance how much toll tax you will have to pay during your entire journey and how many toll plazas you will encounter on your route. This will also help you in fixing your budget.
Toll tax is a maintenance fee that the government demands from motorists when they cross certain interstate expressways, tunnels and other national and state highways. Toll can be paid through debit card, credit card, cash or FASTag. The roads on which toll is levied are under the control of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
Currently India has more than 1,000 toll plazas on more than 480 toll roads. There are several ways you can calculate your required toll tax.
