HGS / OGS Toll Planner

Highway, bridge and tunnel fees — by vehicle class and route.

What this solves

Türkiye's toll system has three flavours — HGS (radio-frequency sticker, the system tourists use), OGS (older in-car transponder, locals) and KGS (cash/card at a booth, mostly phased out). Most travellers don't realise that crossing the Bosphorus twice a day for a week is ₺320 alone, or that the Osmangazi bridge (İzmit) costs more than the Bosphorus bridges combined. This tool shows what you'll actually pay on common road-trip routes.

How to read the result

HGS tolls in Türkiye scale roughly linearly with vehicle class — a class-2 vehicle pays ~2× class-1, a bus pays ~4× class-1. The Bosphorus bridges do not scale quite that much (a car with caravan is only 1.6×), because they were politically priced.

Limitations

Sticker prices are revised 1–2× per year; the figures here are 2026 averages.
Some tolls (especially the Avrasya Tunnel) have night discounts (~25% off) — the calculator doesn't model those.
City entry to Istanbul — the "HGS giriş" toll — is included in route totals when applicable.

FAQ

Can a tourist easily get an HGS sticker?

Yes. Any PTT (post office), most banks, and the highway toll booths sell them. You'll need a passport and the rental car's plate. The rental company may already have one — ask at pickup.

What happens if I drive through a toll without HGS?

The system photographs your plate. You'll be fined ₺8–15× the missing toll, recoverable on exit at any HGS booth. Rental companies charge the fine plus an admin fee on your card deposit.

Can I just use cash at toll booths?

Cash lanes exist on most highways but lines can be 30+ minutes. HGS is dramatically faster. Some modern toll plazas (Avrasya, Yavuz Sultan Selim) are HGS-only.
