How to Check Toll Prices on the TuJu App

One of the best things about the TuJu app is also one of the least explained: it shows you exactly how much toll you'll pay before you start driving. No guessing, no mental maths at the plaza, no surprise on your Touch 'n Go statement.

If you've been searching for how to check toll prices on the TuJu app, here's the full walkthrough — plus a few tricks most users miss.

Check tolls in 4 steps

Step 1: Open TuJu and allow location. The app needs your location to calculate routes. If you denied it earlier, go to your phone's Settings → Apps → TuJu → Permissions and turn location back on.

Step 2: Enter your destination. Tap the search bar at the top and type where you're heading. TuJu will suggest matches — pick the right one.

Step 3: Look at the route options. This is the key screen. TuJu shows each route with three numbers: distance, estimated arrival time, and total toll charges. The toll figure is what Waze won't give you.

Step 4: Compare and choose. Routes are often within minutes of each other but differ by several ringgit in tolls. Pick the one that fits your budget and schedule, then tap to start navigation.

Why the toll figure matters

Malaysian highway tolls add up fast. A daily commuter on the North-South Expressway can easily spend RM300+ a month on tolls alone. The difference between two route options can be RM5 or more per trip — that's RM100+ a month for choosing the cheaper route on workdays.

TuJu's toll data comes through the highway authority's own network, so it's based on the actual toll plaza rates, not estimates. That's the advantage of an app built by LLM: the toll information is first-hand, not crowd-guessed.

One more thing worth knowing: the government occasionally announces toll rebates or discounts during festive seasons. When that happens, the rates in TuJu should reflect the current gazetted charges — but if you're travelling during a rebate period, it's worth double-checking the official announcement too, since app data can lag a day or two behind policy changes.

Tricks most users miss

Check before festive travel. During balik kampung season, the "fastest" route and the cheapest route can diverge wildly. Check tolls a day before you leave, not while you're merging onto the highway.

Pair it with the CCTV cameras. TuJu also gives you access to 33 highway CCTV cameras. The smart routine: check the toll on each route, then glance at the cameras along the cheaper route. If it looks clear, you've just saved money and time. Our TuJu vs Waze comparison covers how the cameras stack up against Waze's crowd reports.

Use it for trip budgeting. Planning a road trip to Penang or Johor? Enter the destination in TuJu the night before and note the toll total. Add fuel, and you've got an accurate trip budget in under a minute.

Recheck after roadworks start. When new diversions or contra-flow operations appear, route options and their tolls can change. The app's traffic data comes from LLM's own traffic management centre, so it updates when the highway operator changes something.

What if the toll figure looks wrong?

A few things to check. First, make sure you're looking at the total for the whole trip, not one plaza — TuJu sums all tolls along the route. Second, confirm the route is the one you intend; a slightly different interchange can change the total. Third, toll rates do change from time to time, and the app reflects the current gazetted rates.

If the app itself isn't cooperating — won't load routes, crashes on search — see our TuJu troubleshooting guide before anything else. Most issues are permission or version problems with quick fixes.

The bottom line

Checking toll prices on TuJu takes about ten seconds: search your destination, read the toll figure on each route, pick your winner. It's the single most practical feature in the app, and it's the reason many drivers who otherwise prefer Waze keep TuJu installed. If you haven't tried it yet, grab the official download and test it on your next highway trip — then check our full TuJu guide for everything else the app can do.
