Guatemala boasts a diverse road network vital for domestic and international travel and trade. With routes linking to Mexico and Central America, including key arteries like the Pan-American Highway and CA-9, Guatemala City serves as the nexus. While national, departmental, and rural roads form the backbone, toll roads are limited compared to neighboring countries. Understanding this network is crucial for navigating Guatemala's transportation landscape and fostering economic growth and regional connectivity.
Use the Guatemala Toll Calculator to calculate the tolls and fuel costs to travel across the entire country.
Guatemala toll road concessionaries
For the purposes of efficient road maintenance and toll collection, the toll roads in Guatemala are operated by the government. The main toll roads are the Palin-Escuintla Highway and VAS Highway, both overseen by government agencies
- Palín-Escuintla Highways[1]: The Palín-Escuintla Highway is a two-lane land road in Guatemala, linking the municipality of Palín with the city of Escuintla in the Department of Escuintla in the southern region of the country. For 25 years it was a highway that operated with a toll system, similar to the VAS Highway, under a concession that was granted by the government of Guatemala.
- Vía Alterna del Sur[2]: The Via Alterna del Sur or VAS Highway, also known simply as VAS, is a highway with a two-way toll system that connects several cities in the southern area of the Metropolitan Area of Guatemala, these being: Guatemala City, San Miguel Petapa,Villa Canales and Villa Nueva.

Modes of Toll Payments in Guatemala?
In Guatemala, toll payments are typically made using cash. At toll booths along the highways, drivers can pay the toll fee directly to the attendant in local currency.
Guatemala toll road price
Toll rates in Guatemala depend on the toll facility, vehicle type and payment method. It also depends on:
- Road system: Parallel highways, both with double lane, construction site or central barrier
- Road lanes: Double lane roads with central lane and single lane roads with one lane per direction
This implies that despite having multiple toll plazas on the same highway, it may not mean an increase in overall tolls - rather fractioning of the total toll for the length of the road.
| Toll Road | Toll Price for Tags(GTQ) | Toll Price for Cash(GTQ) |
|---|---|---|
| Carretera CA-9 | 15.25 | 15.25 |
| Carretera al Pacifico | 16.00 | 21.00 |
You can use Guatemala Toll Calculator to calculate tolls for travelling across entire Guatemala for any vehicle.
How to pay toll in Guatemala
Most of the Guatemalaian toll facilities have both electronic lanes and cash/card lanes. They accept the following three payment methods:
1. Toll tag
2. Cash
3. Credit / Debit card
Using a toll tag is preferred to pay tolls because they offer discounts and can also be used at several parking spots. The toll tags valid across Guatemala are:
1. VAS+ [3]
However, keeping cash handy is always recommended as some of these electronic plazas may not be functioning properly.
