Last year, Metro Pacific Tollways (MPTC) implemented a toll fee increase for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), increasing end-to-end travel costs by at least P33. Now, the tollway operator is making similar adjustments yet again.
The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has just approved the toll fee hike that will take effect on June 4, 2024. After the changes, motorists using the open system—Balintawak to Marilao—will have to pay an additional P5 for Class 1, P14 for Class 2, and P17 for Class 3 vehicles.

For those driving from one end to the other, they’ll have to pay an additional P27, P68, and P81 for Classes 1, 2, and 3 vehicles, respectively. This already covers the closed system portion of the expressway which spans from Bocaue, Bulacan, and Sta. Ines, Mabalacat City, and Pampanga including Subic-Tipo.
NLEX open system toll fee increase as of June 2024:
- Class 1 – P5 increase
- Class 2 – P14 increase
- Class 3 – P17 increase
NLEX toll fee increase for end-to-end travel as of June 2024:
- Class 1 – P27 increase
- Class 2 – P68 increase
- Class 3 – P81 increase
MPTC shared that this is the second tranche of the increase, as the initial proposed adjustments had to be deferred and separated despite being due in 2019 and 2021 to help curb the effects of inflation in the country.
