The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 7 crossings one way — worth about ₹108 of pass value against ₹480 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.

Around ₹12,805 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹9,845 + toll ₹2,960), or ₹25,364 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹3,201 each, one way.
Plan on about 23 h 15 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 16 h 34 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹9,685, 3-axle ₹11,385, 4–6 axle ₹15,425, 7+ axle ₹18,500 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Surat to Shimla toll is the same ~₹2,960 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Surat's state price.
