Vietnam Truck Road Tolls: A Comprehensive Guide

“Money rolls as the wheels turn” – a common saying among Vietnamese truck drivers when it comes to road tolls. But what exactly are road tolls? What types of tolls exist? This article by XE TẢI HÀ NỘI provides a detailed overview and helpful information on this topic.

What are Road Tolls?

Road tolls are fees charged to drivers for using certain roads. These fees contribute to the construction, maintenance, and management of those roads. For truck drivers, understanding road toll regulations is crucial to avoid unnecessary complications during goods transportation.

Types of Road Tolls

Currently, there are two common types of road tolls in Vietnam:

1. Toll by Ticket

This is a common method on expressways built under the BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model. The fee is calculated based on the distance traveled and the vehicle’s load capacity.

Example: Tuan, a Hino 3-axle truck driver, frequently transports goods from Hanoi to Hai Phong via the Hanoi-Hai Phong Expressway. He pays tolls at booths along the route based on the distance and his truck’s load capacity.

2. Road Maintenance Fee

This fee applies to all motorized road vehicles, including trucks. It’s calculated based on engine displacement, load capacity, and passenger capacity.

Example: Minh’s Hyundai Porter truck, registered in Cau Giay District, Hanoi, requires an annual road maintenance fee payment to the tax authorities.
