A car, jeep or van currently pays ₹40 for a single crossing and ₹60 for an eligible return journey. The return tariff generally applies when both crossings are completed within the permitted period using the same vehicle and FASTag.
The comparatively lower charge is connected to the limited tollable distance assigned to Chokkenahalli Plaza. Travellers making a longer journey on the Bengaluru–Tumakuru corridor may also cross Kulumepalya Toll Plaza and receive a separate FASTag deduction.

A person residing within 20 kilometres of Chokkenahalli Toll Plaza may qualify for a concessional monthly pass for a privately owned, non-commercial vehicle. The listed local monthly-pass charge for 2026–27 is ₹350.
