You cross 16 toll plazas across Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra. For a car the published fees add up to ₹795 one way, about ₹0.50 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 5 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹400 extra to be safe.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 29 h 50 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.

Petrol is cheapest in Karnataka (₹111.30/L) and dearest in Kerala (₹114.57/L). Filling the ~105 litres you need in Karnataka saves about ₹344 versus buying it all in Kerala.
For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹12,054 on petrol, ₹8,591 on diesel and about ₹4,509 on electric (public fast charging at ₹20/kWh; home charging is far cheaper). An EV with ~350 km real range needs about 5 charging stops on the way.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 10 crossings one way — worth about ₹154 of pass value against ₹795 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 ₹1,205 instead of ₹1,590 — a 24% discount that FASTag applies automatically.
About ₹1,195 one way with FASTag across 16 plazas — ₹795 in published fees plus ~₹400 estimated for 5 plazas that don't publish rates. A return within 24 hours costs ₹2,005. Without FASTag you pay 1.25x by UPI: ₹1,495.

About 105 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹12,054 at Trivandrum prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~88 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~143 L.
Around ₹13,249 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹12,054 + toll ₹1,195), or ₹26,113 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹3,312 each, one way.
Plan on about 29 h 50 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 21 h 15 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹4,240, 3-axle ₹5,635, 4–6 axle ₹6,690, 7+ axle ₹8,040 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Mumbai to Trivandrum toll is the same ~₹1,195 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Mumbai'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.
