Cost by junction pair
The M6 Toll is billed by how many of the three zones your journey crosses, not by the miles you drive, so a shorter run can cost the same as a longer one. Car (Class 2) prices for every junction pair we cover, contactless and on a Breeze account. Tap a route for the full breakdown, other vehicle classes and the free alternative.
