Golden Tips for Optimizing Road Toll Costs

1. Choose the Right Route

“Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.” Understanding restricted routes, restricted hours, and toll station locations allows drivers to plan their routes effectively, avoid fines, and save on costs. For example, instead of going directly from Long Bien District to Ha Dong via Chuong Duong Bridge, drivers can opt for a detour via Thanh Tri Bridge to avoid traffic congestion and higher tolls.

2. Install an Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Device

Similar to using ETC on highways, installing an ETC device for trucks saves time, effort, and reduces the need for cash transactions.

3. Regular Vehicle Maintenance

“A stitch in time saves nine.” Regular truck maintenance not only ensures smooth and reliable operation but also improves fuel efficiency, reduces depreciation, and indirectly lowers operating costs, including road tolls.
