Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Brunei? 2026 Update
No. Brunei Darussalam operates a completely toll-free road network. There are no toll plazas, no electronic toll collection gates, no vignette requirements, and no distance-based road user tolls on any internal public road in the country.
Key Fact: Public highways, bridges, and tunnels — including the landmark Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge (Temburong Bridge) — are free of road tolls for all motorists. The legacy Rasau Bridge in Belait District had its toll permanently abolished on April 1, 2018.
Vehicle Licensing vs. Tolls: While there are no road tolls, all motor vehicles operated on public roads in Brunei must possess a valid Vehicle Licence / Road Tax (Lesen Kenderaan) issued by the Land Transport Department (JPD) or valid equivalent registration for cross-border vehicles.
Land Border Service Charges (EES / CaP): While internal roads carry no tolls, land border checkpoints (e.g., Sungai Tujoh, Kuala Lurah) apply a mandatory service fee called Caj Perkhidmatan (CaP) under the Royal Customs and Excise Department Exit and Entry Charges Order. This is an immigration/customs border charge, not a highway toll.

- CaP Fee Rate: BND 3.00 per person for a one-way trip (BND 6.00 per person for a return trip).
- Application: Applies to citizens, residents, and foreign travellers crossing via land border posts.
- Exemptions: Children aged two years and below, diplomats, and operational emergency/funeral vehicles.
- Payment Method: Payments are submitted online via the official Royal Customs Exit and Entry System (EES) portal prior to travel.
