A one-way trip from Johannesburg to Durban the N3 for a light motor vehicle (Class 1) now costs about R347.50 in total toll fees, meaning motorists should budget roughly R695 for a return trip between the two cities.
Travellers heading to Durban will pass through five major toll plazas along the route. The first is De Hoek Toll Plaza near Heidelberg, which costs about R67. This is followed by Wilge Toll Plaza near Villiers at R94, and Tugela Toll Plaza near Ladysmith, which is one of the most expensive on the route at R100. Motorists will then pass Mooi River Toll Plaza at around R70
With the new toll tariffs now in effect, motorists planning holidays, family visits or business trips to the coast are encouraged to factor these costs into their travel budgets to avoid unexpected expenses during the journey.
