How is the toll charged on the Turkish highway ?
1 Answer
1. Motorcycles, cars, and vans (with a wheelbase of less than 3.2 meters): about 3.2 TRY per kilometer; 2. Four-wheeled vehicles with a wheelbase of more than 3.2 meters: about 4 TRY per kilometer; 3. Six-wheeled vehicles: about 5.6 TRY per kilometer; 4. Eight or ten-wheeled vehicles: about 7.2 TRY per kilometer. Payment method: Turkey's highways are all unmanned toll roads, and you need to pay tolls with an HGS or OGS pass card. When renting a car, remember to ask if the car is equipped with a pass card. If not, you can buy one at the post office (PTT) and then recharge it for use. It is best to settle the tolls in cash when returning the car to avoid any issues with credit card charges after returning home. Precautions: 1. When renting a car, make sure that the vehicle is equipped with an HGS device. If not, you will be recorded by the camera and the fees will ultimately be deducted from your credit card, which is time-consuming and laborious. 2. Speeding is a common problem among Turkish drivers, which may lead to frequent accidents. Please drive carefully to prevent accidents. 3. The roads between popular travel cities in Turkey are mainly mountain roads and coastal roads. The mountain roads have steeper slopes than domestic roads, especially the road between Fethiye and the Dead Sea, which is mostly uphill and downhill with slopes exceeding 10 degrees. Please pay attention to driving safety. The coastal roads are generally single-lane roads with curves. Pay attention to maintaining speed. If there are too many vehicles behind due to slow speed, consider temporarily stopping on the suitable roadside to let them pass, and avoid panic and confusion.
