Understanding the PLUS Toll Rate System
The Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan (PLUS) is the backbone of Malaysia's road infrastructure, spanning from the border of Thailand in the North to the border of Singapore in the South. Calculating your travel costs is essential for budget planning, whether you are a daily commuter or planning a holiday road trip.
How Toll Rates are Calculated
PLUS highway toll rates are generally determined based on two primary factors:
- Vehicle Classification: The size and type of your vehicle (number of axles and wheels).
- Distance Traveled: The mileage between your entry toll plaza and your exit toll plaza.
While some sections of the highway use an "Open System" (fixed rate per plaza), the majority of the North-South Expressway uses a "Closed System," where you are charged based on the exact distance between two points.
PLUS Vehicle Classifications
To use the PLUS toll rate calculator accurately, you need to know which class your vehicle falls into:
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| Class 1 | Vehicles with 2 axles and 3 or 4 wheels (excluding taxis) |
| Class 2 | Vehicles with 2 axles and 6 wheels (excluding buses) |
| Class 3 | Vehicles with 3 or more axles |
| Class 4 | Taxis |
| Class 5 | Buses |
Real-World Estimation Examples
To help you understand potential costs, here are a few common long-distance routes for a Class 1 vehicle:

- Kuala Lumpur (Sungai Besi) to Johor Bahru (Skudai): Approximately 300km. The estimated toll cost is roughly RM 34.00 to RM 38.00.
- Shah Alam to Ipoh (South): Approximately 190km. The estimated cost is roughly RM 25.00 to RM 28.00.
Tips for Saving on Tolls
While toll rates are fixed, you can manage your expenses by utilizing loyalty programs like TNG eWallet or checking for seasonal rebates during major festivals like Hari Raya or Chinese New Year. Always ensure your Touch 'n Go card or RFID tag has sufficient balance before entering the highway to avoid congestion at the toll booths.
