Rs 1,430

Lahore – Islamabad (M-2)

  • Rate per kmRs 3.98
  • For the full length. Joining or leaving part way costs less.

M-2 toll between interchanges

You only pay for the part of M-2 you drive. NHA publishes the full Lahore–Islamabad toll (Rs 1,430 for a car) and a rate of Rs 3.98 a km, but no fare for each interchange, so the calculator below estimates it: your trip’s share of the official toll, by distance along the motorway. Pick where you join and leave; for a car it adds petrol at today’s Rs 330 a litre (see today’s petrol prices).

Motorway toll tax for cars in 2026

A car, jeep or taxi pays Rs 1,430 to drive the whole Lahore–Islamabad M-2 and Rs 700 on the Islamabad–Peshawar M-1. Going all the way from Lahore to Peshawar uses both, so the toll comes to Rs 2,130.

The Hassanabdal – Havelian – Mansehra (Hazara) road (E-35) is the cheapest motorway at Rs 400; Multan – Sukkur (M-5) is the dearest at Rs 1,500. M-2 has its own rates, which rise every year under its concession, while every other motorway follows one NHA notification.

Toll for wagons, coasters, buses and trucks

Toll rises with the size of the vehicle. On M-2 a wagon pays Rs 2,390, a coaster or mini bus Rs 3,350, a full-size bus Rs 4,770, a two or three-axle truck Rs 6,210 and an articulated trailer Rs 7,980.

Across the motorways, a trailer pays between 4.4 and 5.6 times what a car pays for the same road.

National highway, Kohat Tunnel and Murree road tolls

Off the motorways, NHA charges at each toll plaza on a national highway: Rs 100 for a car, Rs 200 for a wagon, Rs 300 for a bus and Rs 400 for a truck. A long drive on a road like N-5 passes several plazas, so the total depends on how many you cross.

The Kohat Tunnel on N-55 costs a car Rs 250, and the Islamabad–Murree dual carriageway Rs 300.

How motorway toll works in Pakistan

You pay for the distance you drive

The toll is worked out on the distance between the interchange where you join the motorway and the one where you leave it. The amounts on this page are NHA’s figures for the whole road, so anyone joining or leaving part way pays less.

Why M-2 has its own rates

Lahore–Islamabad M-2 is run under a 20-year concession with Motorway Operations and Rehabilitation Engineering, an FWO company, signed on 23 April 2014. The agreement raises its tolls by 7% a year. The current M-2 rates run from 5 July 2026 to 23 April 2027.

The rest of the network

M-1, M-3, M-4, M-5, M-14, the Hazara expressway, the Murree dual carriageway, the Kohat Tunnel and the national highway plazas all follow one NHA notification, in force since 10 July 2026.

Motorways not covered here

M-9 Karachi – Hyderabad, M-11 Lahore – Sialkot, Swat Motorway are run under separate arrangements and their tolls are not part of these NHA notices, so this page does not list them.

Before you set off

Motorway police stop drivers for speeding and other offences, and camera tickets are sent to the car’s registered owner. You can check for pending tickets on e-challan.
