How to See Toll Prices on Google Maps

Google Maps can show an estimated toll price for a route before you start driving, so you can decide whether a faster toll road is worth the cost. The estimate appears right in your route options in the Google Maps app, and it can be more accurate if you tell Maps which toll pass you use. This guide shows where to find toll prices, how to add a toll pass, how to avoid tolls, and what to do if prices don’t show.

Quick Answer

In the Google Maps app, enter a destination and tap Directions with the car icon selected. Routes with tolls show a note like “This route has tolls” with an estimated price. Tap a route to see details. To make estimates more accurate, tap the three dots > Options (or Route options) and add your toll pass.

Where Toll Prices Are Available

Google Maps shows toll estimates in countries and regions where it has toll data, which has included the United States, India, Japan, and Indonesia, with more areas added over time. If you don’t see prices where you drive, the feature may not cover those roads yet; Maps still marks routes that have tolls.

See Toll Prices on Android or iPhone

1. Open the Google Maps app and make sure it’s up to date.
2. Search for your destination and tap Directions.
3. Choose the car (driving) mode.
4. Look at each route in the list. Routes with tolls show a toll icon or note with an estimated cost.
5. Tap a route for turn-by-turn details, including where the toll roads are.

The estimate considers things like the time of day you’re traveling and your payment method, when that information is available. Actual charges can differ.

Add Your Toll Pass for More Accurate Prices

1. On the directions screen, tap the three dots at the top and choose Options (or Route options).
2. Find Toll passes and tap it.
3. Select the passes you have, such as E-ZPass, SunPass, or FasTrak in the US.
4. Go back. Prices update to reflect pass rates where supported.

Many toll roads charge less with a transponder than with cash or pay-by-plate billing.

Avoid Tolls Instead

1. On the directions screen, tap the three dots > Options.
2. Turn on Avoid tolls.
3. To make it permanent, go to Settings > Navigation (on iPhone, Settings > Navigation or Driving options) and turn on Avoid tolls under Route options.

Maps then prefers toll-free routes, although it may still use a toll road when there’s no reasonable alternative. See our guide to turning off tolls on Google Maps for more detail.

On a Computer

Google Maps in a web browser marks routes that include tolls (you’ll see “This route has tolls” in the route details), and you can choose Options > Avoid tolls. Price estimates are primarily shown in the mobile apps, so use your phone for the most complete toll information.

Troubleshooting

• No prices shown: Update the app, make sure you’re in driving mode, and check whether toll estimates are supported in your area.
• Price looks wrong: Add or remove toll passes, and check the travel time; many toll roads use time-of-day or congestion pricing.
• Route still has tolls after choosing Avoid tolls: There may be no toll-free route, such as some bridges or tunnels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Google Maps include rental car toll fees?

No. Rental companies often add their own service fees for toll transponders or plate billing. Check your rental agreement.

Can Apple Maps or Waze show toll prices?

Waze shows toll prices in many areas and lets you add toll passes. Apple Maps can avoid tolls but shows limited price information.

1. In the Google Maps app, get driving directions to see toll estimates in the route list.
