Cavite to Manila Toll Fee — CAVITEX

When to drive this route

Weekday CAVITEX northbound peaks 6 AM–9 AM. Sundays returning from Tagaytay, the queue is at Kawit going IN, not on CAVITEX itself. The new Cavite-Laguna stretch via CALAX bypasses CAVITEX entirely if your Manila destination is Sta. Rosa or Calamba.

Where to exit

Parañaque exit feeds the Coastal Road, MOA Complex, and the Skyway extension to Buendia. Easytrip RFID.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the Cavite to Manila toll fee?

The total toll for a private car (Class 1) is shown above. Class 2 (buses, light trucks) is roughly 2× the Class 1 rate. Class 3 (heavy trucks) is roughly 3×. All fares already include the 12% VAT.

What expressways are used on the Cavite to Manila route?

CAVITEX. Plazas: Kawit (entry) → Parañaque (exit). Cross-expressway transitions are charged automatically — you only stop at the entry and exit plazas.

Which RFID system do I need?

Both Easytrip (NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX, CAVITEX, CALAX, Skyway) and Autosweep (SLEX, STAR, Skyway Stages 1–2) work end-to-end at all plazas. Top up before the trip — running out at a closed-system entry plaza is the most common pain point.

How long does the drive take?

Approximately 40–60 minutes for the 25 km drive, in clear traffic. Allow extra time for weekday morning rush hour at NLEX or SLEX, and for Sunday-afternoon return queues.

Are these toll fees up to date?

Yes. Fares come from the official Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) toll-rate matrices via the public expressway.ph API. The data is re-synced weekly.
