The road distance from Mumbai to Chennai is 1,227 km via NH67 — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 13 toll plazas across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu. For a car the published fees add up to ₹605 one way, about ₹0.49 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 4 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹320 extra to be safe.
Vashi is free for cars: Cars, jeeps and vans (LMVs) pay no toll at Mumbai's five entry points since 14 October 2024 (Maharashtra government decision). Heavier vehicles still pay.
At 21 h of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.

Petrol is cheapest in Tamil Nadu (₹108.78/L) and dearest in Andhra Pradesh (₹117.37/L). Filling the ~82 litres you need in Tamil Nadu saves about ₹703 versus buying it all in Andhra Pradesh.
For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹9,198 on petrol, ₹6,399 on diesel and about ₹3,506 on electric (public fast charging at ₹20/kWh; home charging is far cheaper). An EV with ~350 km real range needs about 4 charging stops on the way.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 8 crossings one way — worth about ₹123 of pass value against ₹605 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.
Return within 24 hours and the car toll for the round trip is ₹920 instead of ₹1,210 — a 24% discount that FASTag applies automatically.
About ₹925 one way with FASTag across 13 plazas — ₹605 in published fees plus ~₹320 estimated for 4 plazas that don't publish rates. A return within 24 hours costs ₹1,560. Without FASTag you pay 1.25x by UPI: ₹1,157.

About 82 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹9,198 at Mumbai prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~68 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~112 L.
Around ₹10,123 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹9,198 + toll ₹925), or ₹19,956 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹2,531 each, one way.
Plan on about 21 h including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 15 h, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹3,310, 3-axle ₹4,430, 4–6 axle ₹5,210, 7+ axle ₹6,375 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Chennai to Mumbai toll is the same ~₹925 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Chennai's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
