Malaysia Toll Roads Complete Guide

Coverage: 1,400+ km nationwide (Peninsular Malaysia, limited East Malaysia)
Currency: Malaysian Ringgit (RM)
Technology: Touch 'n Go, RFID, SmartTAG, Credit/Debit Cards

Do I Need Touch 'n Go for Malaysia? 2025 Update
No, you don't need Touch 'n Go specifically - but you need electronic payment to use Malaysian toll roads efficiently. Malaysia is transitioning to cashless tolling with multiple payment options including Touch 'n Go cards, RFID tags, and credit/debit cards.
Key Reality: While cash is still accepted at most toll plazas, electronic payment offers faster passage, discounts, and access to loyalty programs. RFID is the recommended future-proof option.
2025 Update: Malaysia moves toward Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system by 2025, eliminating toll barriers entirely. RFID becomes essential for seamless travel as physical toll booths are phased out.
Malaysia Toll Costs: Current Rates
Malaysia operates distance-based tolling with costs varying by highway operator, vehicle class, and distance traveled.

Vehicle Class | Description | Sample Rate | Example Cost |

Class 2 | Light trucks, vans (2 axles, 6 wheels) | RM0.16-0.30/km | RM4.20-12.60 |
Class 3 | Heavy trucks, buses (3+ axles) | RM0.24-0.45/km | RM6.30-18.90 |
Class 4 | Taxis (special rate) | 50% of Class 1 | RM1.10-3.15 |
Class 5 | Buses (special rate) | 75% of Class 1 | RM1.60-4.75 |

Frequently Asked Questions

Do motorcycles pay tolls in Malaysia?
Yes, motorcycles pay Class 1 rates same as cars. Some highways offer dedicated motorcycle lanes for faster passage.
Can I use Singapore ERP devices in Malaysia?
