Brunei Toll Roads Complete Guide
System: No toll roads — 100% government-funded free road network
Operator: Public Works Department (Jabatan Kerja Raya, JKR)
Currency: Brunei Dollar (BND) — at par with Singapore Dollar (SGD)
Coverage: All internal public roads, bridges, and tunnels nationwide are toll-free
Technology: No domestic electronic toll collection system required
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 systems, no vignette requirements, and no road user charges of any kind for passenger vehicles or commercial trucks on any internal road in the country.
Key Fact: Every highway, bridge, and tunnel — including the landmark Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge (Temburong Bridge) — is free to use for all motorists. The final legacy toll facility in the country, the Rasau Bridge in Belait District, had its toll permanently abolished on April 1, 2018.
Important Border Distinction (EES / CaP): While the roads themselves are free, crossing the land border into Malaysia incurs a mandatory border service charge called Caj Perkhidmatan (CaP). This is an immigration/customs fee, not a highway toll, and is charged strictly per person rather than per vehicle.
Brunei Toll Costs & Border Fees: Current Rates
All internal roads and major infrastructure in Brunei carry a BND 0.00 toll rate. The table below summarises the status of Brunei's key roads and border crossings.
Major Roads and Bridges (2026)
| Road / Crossing | Type | Toll (All Vehicles) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temburong Bridge (Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge) | Cable-stayed bridge | BND 0.00 | Connects Brunei-Muara to Temburong District |
| Pan-Borneo Highway (Brunei sections) | Dual carriageway highway | BND 0.00 | Connects Brunei-Muara, Tutong, and Belait districts |
| Seria–Kuala Belait Expressway | Expressway | BND 0.00 | Links Seria to Kuala Belait in the Belait District |
| Rasau Bridge | River crossing | BND 0.00 | Toll officially abolished April 2018 |
| Muara–Tutong Highway | Primary highway | BND 0.00 | Main arterial road linking Bandar Seri Begawan to Tutong |
| Sungai Brunei Bridges | Road bridges | BND 0.00 | All crossings over the Brunei River are toll-free |
Land Border Charges: Exit and Entry System (EES / CaP)
The Royal Customs and Excise Department requires all travellers crossing land borders (such as Sungai Tujoh, Kuala Lurah, Puni, and Labu) to pay the Caj Perkhidmatan (CaP) service fee. This fee is processed via the online Exit and Entry System (EES).
- 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 all drivers and passengers (citizens, residents, and foreigners).
- Exemptions: Children aged two years and below, diplomatic agents, emergency vehicles (ambulances/fire/police), and vehicles for funeral purposes are exempt.
- Payment Method: Payments must be made online via the official EES portal prior to travel using a credit or debit card. A QR code is generated upon payment to be scanned at the border checkpoint.
Enforcement and Penalties
Because Brunei has no domestic toll system, there are no toll evasion offences. Road rules are enforced strictly by the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) and the Land Transport Department (JPD) under the Road Traffic Act (Cap. 68).
Key road offences and penalties in Brunei:
- Speeding: Fines ranging from BND 100 to BND 500 depending on the excess speed, alongside demerit points (SiKAP system).
- Seatbelt non-compliance: Fine of BND 100 per occupant.
- Mobile phone use while driving: Fine of BND 200 (first offence).
- Drink driving: Strictly enforced zero-tolerance approach; penalties involve massive fines, license suspension, and potential imprisonment.
Official Speed limits:
- Dual Carriageways / Expressways: 100 km/h
- Single Carriageway Roads / Highways: 80 km/h
- Urban and Suburban Roads: 50 km/h
- School and Hospital Zones: 30 km/h
Planning Your Journey & Cross-Border Travel
Driving in Brunei:
- Drive on the left; the steering wheel is on the right side of the vehicle.
- Fuel is heavily subsidized for local vehicles (e.g., Premium RON 97 is approximately BND 0.53/litre). However, foreign-registered vehicles are ineligible for local subsidies and must purchase unsubsidized fuel.
Cross-Border Driving to Malaysia (Sarawak):
- The most common crossings are Sungai Tujoh (towards Miri), Kuala Lurah, and Puni (towards Limbang).
- No Tolls in Sarawak: When you cross into Malaysia via Sarawak, the Pan-Borneo Highway is completely toll-free. The Sarawak State Government abolished all legacy bridge tolls (including the ASEAN Bridge at Kuala Baram) in previous years.
- Ensure you have applied and paid for your Brunei CaP (BND 3.00 per person) via the EES portal before reaching the border checkpoint.
