Vehicle Classes for Toll Fees

All Philippine expressways classify vehicles into three classes for toll fee purposes. Class 1 is the cheapest and covers most private vehicles. Class 2 covers medium-sized commercial vehicles. Class 3 covers the largest vehicles. The classification is based on the number of axles and vehicle size, as regulated by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB).

Class 1 covers most private vehicles and smaller commercial vehicles with 2 axles:

Class 2 covers medium commercial vehicles, typically with 3 axles:

Class 3 covers large commercial vehicles, typically with 4 or more axles:

Class 2 toll fees are typically 1.5 to 2 times higher than Class 1. Class 3 fees are typically 2 to 2.5 times higher than Class 1. For example, on NLEX from Balintawak to Dau: Class 1 pays ₱411, Class 2 pays ₱670, and Class 3 pays ₱955. The exact multiplier varies by expressway and route.

Your vehicle class is automatically determined when your RFID is installed. The classification is based on the number of axles visible when the vehicle passes through the toll plaza. The RFID system records your vehicle class, and the correct toll fee is deducted automatically. If your vehicle is misclassified, visit any RFID customer service center with your vehicle registration to request reclassification.
