Balintawak to Bicutan Skyway Toll Fee
2 expressways · Rates effective September 2025
This drive is priced as two tolls, not one. Skyway Stage 3 runs elevated from NLEX / Balintawak down to Buendia, where it meets the original at-grade Skyway that carries on to Bicutan. They are separate tolled segments, so you are charged once for each - there is no single end-to-end fare published for the full run.
Both legs are on the same Autosweep account, so one loaded tag covers the whole trip. The breakdown below shows what each segment costs for every vehicle class.

Which RFID Do You Need?
The entire trip runs on Autosweep RFID, so one loaded account covers every plaza from Balintawak to Bicutan.
Why there are two tolls
The Skyway was built in stages. Stage 1 and 2 are the at-grade and elevated sections from Alabang up to Buendia and Makati, opened years earlier. Stage 3 is the newer elevated viaduct that carries on north over Manila to NLEX at Balintawak. Each has its own toll schedule approved separately by the Toll Regulatory Board, and the boundary between them sits at Buendia.
That is why a single "Balintawak to Alabang" figure does not appear in any official matrix, and why you will see two deductions on your Autosweep account for one continuous drive. Anyone quoting one number for the whole run is adding the two themselves - which is exactly what this page does, with the parts shown.
One RFID covers it
Both segments are San Miguel tollways and read Autosweep, so a single loaded account is enough. If you carry an Easytrip tag instead, it works here too provided you have enrolled it under One RFID, All Tollways - the deduction still comes from your Easytrip balance. Worth checking your balance before a long run: being short at the second barrier is a worse place to find out than the first.
Going further south
Past Alabang the at-grade Skyway hands over to SLEX, which is a third toll on the same trip. Use the toll calculator for a specific pair, or the full matrix to see every fare on either road.
