+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need to pay any tolls to drive in Ukraine. All roads in Ukraine are currently completely toll-free, including major highways (M-roads), regional roads, and urban networks.</p>

−
<tr>
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No border crossing fees exist for the roads themselves.

Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Ukraine? 2025 Update

No, you don't need to pay any tolls to drive in Ukraine. All roads in Ukraine are currently completely toll-free, including major highways (M-roads), regional roads, and urban networks.

Key Reality: Ukraine remains one of the few European countries with a completely toll-free road network. This applies to all vehicle types - cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buses - across the entire country.

2025 Update: Government plans to introduce toll roads are on hold due to current circumstances. Previous proposals for 6 toll routes (including Krakovets-Lviv-Brody and Kyiv-Bila Tserkva) remain in planning stages with no immediate implementation timeline.

Ukraine Road Costs: Current Status

Ukraine operates a completely toll-free road system funded through government budget allocations and fuel taxes.

Current Road Usage Costs (2025)

Road Type Current Cost Vehicle Types Status
M-roads (Highways) Free All vehicles Operational
Regional Roads Free All vehicles Operational
Urban Roads Free All vehicles Operational
Border Crossings Free All vehicles Operational

Future Toll Road Plans (Suspended)

Proposed Routes (Pre-2022 Plans):

  • Krakovets-Lviv-Brody (280km) - Western corridor to Poland
  • Kyiv-Bila Tserkva (85km) - Alternative to Kyiv-Odesa route
  • Planned rate: €0.08/km (₴3.50/km at previous exchange rates)

2. Border Crossing Requirements:

  • No road tolls at any border crossings
  • Customs declarations may be required for valuable items
