Brunei Toll Roads Complete Guide

System: No toll roads — public road network carries no tolls
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 toll collection system is currently identified in Brunei

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.

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 outlines the status of Brunei's key roads and 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 control posts (such as Sungai Tujoh, Kuala Lurah, Puni, and Labu) to pay the Caj Perkhidmatan (CaP) service fee under the Exit and Entry Charges Order:

  • 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.

Enforcement and Penalties

Because Brunei has no toll system, there are no toll evasion offences. Statutory road traffic regulations and vehicle compliance are enforced by the Land Transport Department (JPD) and the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) under the Road Traffic Act (Cap. 68).

Statutory traffic offences and penalties under the Road Traffic Act:

  • Driving without valid Vehicle Licence (Road Tax): Fine of up to BND 4,000 and 3 months imprisonment (Section 8(1)).
  • Speeding (exceeding maximum limit): Fine of BND 600 to BND 2,000 for a first offence; BND 600 to BND 4,000 fine and up to 6 months imprisonment for subsequent offences (Section 24(1)).
  • Seatbelt non-compliance: Fine not exceeding BND 2,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 6 months (Seat Belt Regulations).
  • Handheld mobile phone use while driving: Fine of BND 600 to BND 1,000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment for a first offence (Section 29A(1)).
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs: Fine of BND 10,000 and 2 years imprisonment for a first offence; BND 20,000 fine and 4 years imprisonment for subsequent offences, plus a minimum 3-year driving licence suspension (Section 26(1)).

Official JPD Speed Limits:

  • Highways: 80 km/h (as posted by road signs)
  • Urban Areas: 65 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.
  • Ensure your vehicle possesses a valid Vehicle Licence (Road Tax) and compulsory Third Party motor insurance under the Road Traffic Act.
  • Foreign-registered vehicles must meet JPD import/entry requirements and purchase unsubsidized fuel at petrol stations.

Cross-Border Driving to Malaysia (Sarawak):

  • The primary land border checkpoints are Sungai Tujoh (towards Miri), Kuala Lurah, and Puni (towards Limbang).
  • No Tolls in Sarawak: Upon crossing into Malaysia via Sarawak, the Pan-Borneo Highway and bridges are toll-free.
  • Submit and pay the mandatory Brunei border CaP charge (BND 3.00 per person one-way) online via the Royal Customs EES portal prior to arriving at border posts.
