The Pennsylvania Turnpike serves major cities like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg, as well as other communities, offering both regional and long-distance travel.

FAQs about Toll Roads in Pennsylvania

Tolls in Pennsylvania are 100% electronic, so cash payments are not an option. Pennsylvania uses E-ZPass and the Toll By Plate system, where toll invoices are mailed to the vehicle's registered owner. Anytime you drive through a toll in a Budget rental car, Budget is notified and will bill you separately for the toll charges. If you know you’ll be using toll roads during your rental period, sign up for one of Budget’s e-toll services to simplify the process. (Source)

Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia area tolls are all part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The PA Turnpike runs west-east throughout the Keystone State, and anyone using the turnpike will need to pay tolls. 

If you need to drive the entire road, the Pennsylvania Turnpike is the most expensive toll road in the United States. Drivers in passenger vehicles can expect to pay over $100 to drive its entire 360-mile length. (Source) However, most PA Turnpike drivers cover much shorter distances, with average toll rates less than $5 per trip. (Source)
