Toll-inclusive
Nothing is asked for on the road. The driver handles every plaza and the receipt is one number. The toll the fare carries is ₹789 for a hatchback, itemised on the quote.
Pay at the booth
A lower fare, and you pay each plaza as it comes, cash or FASTag. Same road, same driver; the toll simply is not in the fare.
