How Tolls Work in Indiana

In the Hoosier State, tolls are primarily collected on the Indiana Toll Road, which spans 156 miles across the northern part of the state from the Ohio border to the Illinois state line. This major highway is a crucial transportation route for local commuters and interstate travelers, connecting key cities like South Bend, Elkhart, and Gary. Additionally, Indiana tolls are collected on RiverLink bridges that connect Louisville, Kentucky, and southern Indiana. 

Drivers in personal cars can pay tolls with E-ZPass, Pay by Plate, or cash (only on the Indiana Toll Road). If you’re in a rental car, you can pay with Budget e-Toll service.

Yes, the entirety of the Indiana East-West Toll Road is on I-90. This road facilitates faster travel from the Illinois border to the Ohio state line in the northern part of the state. You may prefer not to use toll roads in Indiana. If so, you’ll need to update your GPS or navigation app settings to show alternative routes that don’t include tolls.
