== Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Mexico? 2025 Update ==
 +
 +
Mexico has an extensive toll road system called '''autopistas''' (also known as '''cuota''' roads), with over 5,000 kilometers of tolled highways. Toll roads are labeled with "D" (Directo) after the highway number, while parallel free roads are called "libre". You can choose between tolled highways for faster, safer travel or free alternative routes.
 +
 +
Toll costs range from MX$25 to MX$150 (approximately US$2.50-15) for passenger cars, making Mexico's toll roads among the more expensive globally, but they offer superior safety, maintenance, and travel times.
