Toll Calculator & Gas Calculator FAQ

The toll calculator estimates costs (tolls + gas) for all logical routes between your origin (start location) and destination. It shows you the cheapest, the fastest, and other relevant routes on a Google map. To help you choose between routes, it displays cost, time, distance and other information for each route.

The travel times and gas costs vary based on traffic congestion, accidents, road closures, etc. For example, your vehicle consumes more fuel in stop and go traffic. Every time you search, the travel times and gas estimates may be different. The toll calculator shows tolls at the time of your travel for variable priced toll roads. As you can see the estimates of fuel consumed and gas expenses, travel times, and tolls are dynamic. Therefore, the cheapest route and the fastest routes may change for the same origin and destination.
