Good news for all road travel lovers! Google Maps has introduced a new feature that will help you calculate the estimated cost of your trip. In addition to showing the shortest routes, restaurants and gas stations along the route, Google Maps now helps travelers estimate road travel costs by displaying toll prices. Both Android and iOS users will be able to enjoy this new advantage offered by Google. The feature has been rolled out in India, Indonesia, and the United States, and will reportedly be available in other countries soon as well.

Each estimated expense for a road trip would include several factors, including fuel costs and toll prices. If someone rents a car, that cost will also be included in the total expense. If a driver is hired, this cost will also be taken into account. With the introduction of this new feature, Google Maps has made it easier for road travel enthusiasts to calculate costs. Travelers will be able to see the toll prices once navigation is started.
Travelers can also find toll-free routes to save money
In addition to toll prices, Google Maps will also show free routes, helping travelers save money. To view these routes, travelers must select the “avoid tolls” option by clicking on the three dots in the top right corner of Maps. Google Maps collected data from local authorities to find estimated toll expenses.
