“est.” = this plaza doesn't publish fees in the NHAI dataset; we use the median fee for your vehicle class.
The road distance from Nagpur to Kolhapur is 853 km via NH548C — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 8 toll plazas. For a car the published fees add up to ₹225 one way, about ₹0.26 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 6 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹480 extra to be safe.
At 14 h 10 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.
Fees for a single journey with FASTag. Return fees apply when you come back through the same plaza within 24 hours; a monthly pass covers 50 single journeys in a month.

Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Kolhapur to Nagpur toll is the same ~₹705 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Kolhapur's state price.
