Do I Need to Pay Tolls Around Toulouse? 2025 Update
Yes, all major autoroutes connecting Toulouse to other cities require toll payment - but the Toulouse périphérique (ring road) itself is completely toll-free. This 35km urban motorway encircling Toulouse provides free access between all autoroutes.
Key Reality: While city bypasses around Toulouse are free, traveling beyond the périphérique on A61, A62, A64, or A68 requires toll payment averaging €0.10-0.11 per kilometer.
