How to Read the STAR Tollway Toll Matrix

The toll matrix shows the fare between every pair of entry and exit plazas on the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road. To find your toll fee:

Select your vehicle class using the tabs above (Class 1 for cars, Class 2 for buses, Class 3 for large trucks).
Find your entry plaza in the top header row.
Find your exit plaza in the left column.
The cell where the row and column intersect is your toll fee in PHP.

A double dash (--) means the matrix lists no fare between those plazas. All rates are VAT-inclusive. Scroll horizontally on mobile to see all columns.

A fare covers this road only and is the same in both directions unless the matrix marks the pair one-way. Tolls on a connecting expressway are charged separately; the toll calculator adds them up.

Pick your vehicle class first. Loading only the Class 1 fare leaves a truck short at the exit: Calamba to Batangas is ₱135 in Class 1 but ₱405 in Class 3. Load that amount, then check your Autosweep balance before you enter.

Understanding STAR Tollway Toll Fees

The Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR Tollway) is a 41.9-kilometer closed-system expressway operated by SMC Tollways in South Luzon. As a closed-system expressway, STAR Tollway toll fees are calculated based on the distance between your entry and exit plazas, the farther you travel, the higher the fee.

All STAR Tollway toll rates are regulated and approved by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB). Toll fees are collected cashless via the Autosweep RFID system. Three vehicle classes apply: Class 1 (cars, SUVs, vans), Class 2 (buses, light trucks) and Class 3 (large trucks, trailers).

Worked example: Calamba to Batangas

Entry Calamba, exit Batangas, Class 1 car.
The TRB matrix as of February 2026 prices that pair at ₱135.
The pair is not one-way, so the return costs the same: ₱270 for the round trip.
A Class 3 truck on the same pair pays ₱405, 3.0 times the car fare.

For your own pair, read the matrix above or enter both plazas in the toll calculator.
