The road distance from Mumbai to Shimla is 1,703 km via NH48, Delhi - Vadodara Expressway — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 43 toll plazas across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh. For a car the published fees add up to ₹710 one way, about ₹0.42 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 33 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹2,640 extra to be safe.
Dahisar 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 27 h 35 min 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.
Shimla is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹12,764 on petrol, ₹8,881 on diesel and about ₹4,865 on electric (public fast charging at ₹20/kWh; home charging is far cheaper). An EV with ~350 km real range needs about 6 charging stops on the way.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 9 crossings one way — worth about ₹138 of pass value against ₹710 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.

Around ₹16,114 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹12,764 + toll ₹3,350), or ₹31,858 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹4,029 each, one way.
Plan on about 27 h 35 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 19 h 40 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹11,230, 3-axle ₹13,040, 4–6 axle ₹17,870, 7+ axle ₹21,460 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Shimla to Mumbai toll is the same ~₹3,350 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Shimla'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.
