<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you do not need to pay any tolls to drive in Hawaii currently.

Though no toll roads exist in Hawaii, depending on your route, you might have to pay toll while traveling to other US states. You cannot pay tolls by cash or coins on all toll roads in USA. To save time on people having to stop to pay cash, many toll road gantries have electronic tag readers. Check out the list of [https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/toll-tags-states-usa states that charge tolls] and their payment methods.

 +
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there any toll roads in Hawaii?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, Hawaii currently has no toll roads anywhere in the state. All highways, bridges, and tunnels are toll-free across all islands. This makes Hawaii unique among US states with major highway systems.</p>
 +
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Will Hawaii get toll roads in the future?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Possibly. Senate Bill 217 introduced in January 2025 would authorize the first toll road on Hana Highway between mile markers 32-40. The bill is under committee review, and no timeline has been established for implementation.</p>
 +
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do I need E-ZPass or electronic transponder for Hawaii?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you do not need any electronic transponder, E-ZPass, or toll payment system for Hawaii. All roads are currently toll-free. If future tolls are implemented, Hawaii would likely develop its own electronic payment system.</p>
 +
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Why is Hawaii considering toll roads now?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The proposed Hana Highway toll aims to address overtourism, traffic congestion, illegal parking, and trespassing issues. Revenue would fund road maintenance, enforcement, and visitor management programs.</p>
 +
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Would residents pay tolls under SB217?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The bill proposes exempting Hawaii residents from tolls, but HDOT Director Ed Sniffen noted this may violate federal highway funding regulations. The Commerce Clause and Equal Protection Clause generally prevent states from treating residents and visitors differently.</p>

Hawaii Toll Roads Complete Guide

System: No toll roads currently (SB217 bill pending for Hana Highway)
Coverage: All Hawaii highways currently toll-free
Currency: US Dollar (USD) - if tolls implemented
Technology: None currently (electronic toll collection proposed)
Operators: Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT)

Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Hawaii? 2025 Update

No, you do not need to pay any tolls to drive in Hawaii currently. Hawaii is one of the few US states with completely toll-free highways, bridges, and tunnels across all islands including Oahu, Maui, Big Island, Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai.

Key Reality: Hawaii's interstate highways (H-1, H-2, H-3) and all state highways remain completely toll-free. No electronic transponders, cash payments, or toll calculations are needed for any road travel in Hawaii.

2025 Update: Senate Bill 217 (SB217) has been introduced to potentially establish Hawaii's first toll road on Maui's Hana Highway between mile markers 32-40. The bill passed first reading in January 2025 and is currently under committee review.

Hawaii Current Road Costs: Free Travel

Hawaii maintains one of the most extensive toll-free highway systems in the United States, with no charges for any road, bridge, or tunnel usage across all islands.

Current Travel Costs (2025)

Route Type Current Cost Vehicle Types 2025 Status
Interstate Highways (H-1, H-2, H-3) $0.00 All vehicles Toll-free
State Highways (All Islands) $0.00 All vehicles Toll-free
Hana Highway (Mile 32-40) $0.00 All vehicles SB217 bill pending
Bridges & Tunnels $0.00 All vehicles Toll-free
Scenic Routes & Coastal Roads $0.00 All vehicles Toll-free

Hawaii's Toll-Free Network Coverage

All Islands Covered: Oahu, Maui, Big Island (Hawaii), Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, and Niihau

Major Routes: H-1 (Oahu), H-2 (Oahu), H-3 (Oahu), Highway 200 (Saddle Road), Hana Highway, Kauai Belt Road

How to Pay Hawaii Tolls

Currently, there are no tolls to pay in Hawaii. However, if SB217 passes, the following payment methods would likely be implemented:

1. Proposed Electronic Toll Collection (If SB217 Passes):

  • Electronic transponders for vehicle identification
  • License plate recognition technology
  • Mobile payment applications
  • Resident exemption program (proposed but legally uncertain)

2. Current Travel Costs:

  • No tolls required on any Hawaii road
  • Only costs are fuel and vehicle rental fees
  • Parking fees at some tourist destinations (not toll-related)

To calculate travel costs for cars, trucks, motorcycles and all vehicle types across Hawaii (currently toll-free), use TollGuru Hawaii calculator

Recent Changes (2025)

SB217 Toll Bill Developments:

  • Proposed resident exemption faces federal legal challenges

HDOT Director Ed Sniffen's Position:

  • Department is neutral on SB217 but studying technical requirements
  • Federal highway funding regulations may restrict resident exemptions
  • Potential expansion to H-1, H-2, H-3 if initial toll succeeds

Current Status:

  • All Hawaii roads remain toll-free as of July 2025

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any toll roads in Hawaii?

No, Hawaii currently has no toll roads anywhere in the state. All highways, bridges, and tunnels are toll-free across all islands. This makes Hawaii unique among US states with major highway systems.

Will Hawaii get toll roads in the future?

Possibly. Senate Bill 217 introduced in January 2025 would authorize the first toll road on Hana Highway between mile markers 32-40. The bill is under committee review, and no timeline has been established for implementation.

Do I need E-ZPass or electronic transponder for Hawaii?

No, you do not need any electronic transponder, E-ZPass, or toll payment system for Hawaii. All roads are currently toll-free. If future tolls are implemented, Hawaii would likely develop its own electronic payment system.

Why is Hawaii considering toll roads now?

The proposed Hana Highway toll aims to address overtourism, traffic congestion, illegal parking, and trespassing issues. Revenue would fund road maintenance, enforcement, and visitor management programs.

Would residents pay tolls under SB217?

The bill proposes exempting Hawaii residents from tolls, but HDOT Director Ed Sniffen noted this may violate federal highway funding regulations. The Commerce Clause and Equal Protection Clause generally prevent states from treating residents and visitors differently.

Hawaii vs. North American Neighbors
