South African
tollgate calculator.

Choose your vehicle class, enter your start and destination addresses, select the matching address suggestions, and calculate. This tool estimates the toll plazas along the suggested route and displays the toll breakdown, route distance and estimated driving time.

Yes. Enter Johannesburg as your start and Durban or Cape Town as your destination, then select your vehicle class. Precise collection and delivery addresses help define your journey. Use the resulting breakdown for planning and confirm current plaza charges with the relevant road operator.

No. Results depend on the route, plaza matching and tariff information available to this tool. Your actual route, vehicle classification, tariff changes or qualifying discounts can change the amount paid. Confirm the applicable fees with the toll operator before relying on an estimate for a final quote.

Each calculation estimates one journey between the addresses you enter. Calculate the return leg separately by reversing the addresses, especially when your return route or delivery stops differ. Add both estimates when budgeting a round trip.

Class 1 covers light vehicles. For heavy vehicles, Class 2 has two axles, Class 3 has three or four axles, and Class 4 has five or more axles. Toll operators determine the final classification; check their rules for your particular vehicle and trailer combination.

Select Class 2 for a heavy vehicle with two axles. A light vehicle is not automatically Class 2 simply because it has two axles. If the vehicle or trailer combination is unusual, confirm its classification with the toll operator before planning the trip.

Toll plazas publish different tariffs for different vehicle classes. Select the correct class so the estimate uses the corresponding fee at each plaza. A Class 1 estimate should not be used to price a heavy-vehicle journey.

SANRAL adjusts toll tariffs annually. Its announced 2026 adjustment took effect on 1 March 2026. Check the operator's current tariff schedule before travelling; this calculator is an estimate and does not guarantee that every tariff change is already reflected.

Accepted payment methods depend on the operator, plaza and vehicle class. For example, TRAC's South African N4 plazas list cash, electronic tags, fleet cards and certain prepaid cards; ordinary credit-card acceptance has Class 1 restrictions. Check your operator's rules rather than assuming every bank card will work.

Electronic tags can be used at participating conventional toll plazas when the tag and account are supported by that operator. Keep the account funded and follow the marked lanes. TRAC notes that its Mozambique tag system is separate from South Africa's automatic electronic tag system.

Some plazas offer discounts for qualifying frequent or local users. Eligibility, applications and tag requirements vary, so contact the plaza or operator. Do not assume a discount is included in this calculator's standard estimate.

SANRAL's 2026 published conventional toll tariffs include VAT. This does not mean every other line in a truck-hire quotation has the same tax treatment. Check the operator's tariff schedule and your supplier's quotation when preparing a complete transport budget.

No. It provides a toll estimate, route distance and estimated driving time. Fuel, vehicle hire, driver charges, loading, insurance and other services need to be budgeted separately. Use our truck-hire rates or request a transport quote for your complete job.

Include the toll estimate in each delivery quote, calculate both legs when needed, and use repeated journey estimates to plan regular runs. This helps owner-drivers and fleet planners account for road costs before committing to a customer price.

No. The suggested route does not confirm truck height or weight limits, bridge clearance, abnormal-load permits, road closures or delivery-site access. Check those requirements separately with the relevant authorities, road operator and customer before dispatching a heavy or abnormal-load vehicle.

Yes. Class 1 includes five free successful calculations each day. The allowance resets at midnight South African time. Guest usage is tracked per browser, while signed-in usage follows the account. These free calculations do not pay the toll fees charged on the road.

To continue calculating that day, sign in or register and purchase a Class 1 membership. Signing in does not reset uses already made in that browser. Any active paid membership includes unlimited Class 1 calculations for its paid period.

Choose a 1, 3, 6 or 12-month billing period for your vehicle class. Each membership includes unlimited calculations for its named class and all lower classes during the paid period. Class 4 includes Classes 4, 3, 2 and 1; Class 3 includes Classes 3, 2 and 1; Class 2 includes Classes 2 and 1; Class 1 includes only Class 1. Choose an included class using the calculator dropdown. Higher classes require a higher plan. The plan cards show the current amount for each billing period.

Yes. New memberships renew by card at the agreed amount every selected 1, 3, 6 or 12 months until cancelled. Before you click Subscribe and pay, checkout shows the recurring amount, frequency and next payment date. Each confirmed successful payment extends your access. Existing once-off memberships keep their original terms.

Use Stop automatic renewal in your member dashboard to stop future payments. Cancellation keeps your remaining paid access until expiry. A failed payment does not add another paid period. After paid access expires, Class 1 returns to its daily free allowance, while heavy-vehicle calculations require an active paid membership.
