Manila to Batangas Toll Fee — SLEX → STAR Tollway

When to drive this route

SLEX southbound from Alabang to Calamba is heaviest 6 AM–9 AM weekdays. STAR Tollway is wide-open most days. If you’re catching a Mindoro ferry, leave Magallanes 4 hours before departure to absorb morning traffic with margin.

Where to exit

Exit at Batangas (STAR terminus) for the port and pier area. RFID is Easytrip on SLEX, Autosweep on STAR — both work end-to-end. The segment breakdown on the calculator shows exactly which system collects each peso.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the Manila to Batangas 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 Manila to Batangas route?

SLEX → STAR. Plazas: Magallanes (entry) → Batangas (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 2–2.5 hours for the 110 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.
