86 km · 3 toll plazas · about 1 h 25 min on the road. Change the vehicle, fuel or mileage below and every number updates.
“est.” = this plaza doesn't publish fees in the NHAI dataset; we use the median fee for your vehicle class.
Thane to Lonavala is a short hop of 86 km, mostly on NH48 and NH548A.
You cross 3 toll plazas, but none of them publishes fees in the NHAI dataset (they are mostly state or municipal plazas). Based on typical highway fees we estimate about ₹240 for a car — treat it as a budget, not an exact figure.
Lonavala 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.
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.

About 6 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹642 at Thane prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~5 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~8 L.
Around ₹882 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹642 + toll ₹240), or ₹1,764 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹220 each, one way.
Plan on about 1 h 25 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 1 h 6 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹780, 3-axle ₹915, 4–6 axle ₹1,245, 7+ axle ₹1,500 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Lonavala to Thane toll is the same ~₹240 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Lonavala'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.
