TJ to Ensenada tolls: how many how much
It’s been a few years since I drove down the peninsula. We are planning on crossing TJ border about 4:00am. I like to have all the toll fares
reasonably organized before travel. What is the cost of the fares these days, and how many booths are there? Any new information in the past few
years that may be helpful to know? Thanks.

I just have an old pill container filled with quarters. I think you hit three on the way to Ensenada, if they are all open again. Usually about $2
at each.

Current fares for automobiles:
TJ to Ensenada: 124 pesos
Tijuana to Rosarito - 40 pesos
Rosarito to La Mision - 40 pesos
La Mision to Ensenada - 44 pesos
So each fare is 2 dollars plus a bit, depending on the exchange rate.
See the bottom of the following webpage:

Paid 40 pesos at all 3 Tuesday Sept 30
But as indicated above Oct 1 will possibly change but not likely and if so not by much. Seems like since they built that road the total of all 3
booths has been around 2.40 dollars.

I can check the old AAA book, but I think in 1974, I paid (U.S.) .60, .80, and $1.20 at the three booths or $2.60 total. We teenagers often took the
free road from Rosarito to La Misión or all the way to Ensenada to save the money!! Using only the cheapest section of the toll road but mostly to
avoid Tijuana city traffic.

$2.60 in 1974 is equivalent to $27.63 today.

Currently, TJ to Ensenada costs 124 pesos or about $6.20 (124/20)
Cheap, compared to 1974.

That figure is grossly inflated, pun intended. Your link shows inflation from 1913 to 2021. If 1974 is entered as the starting point then the
current equivalent is $5.55.

You're right, I goofed up somewhere, but this is what I get: (copy and paste)
Inflation Calculator
If in
1974
(enter year)
I purchased an item for $
2.60
then in
2021
(enter year)
that same item would cost:
$14.43
---------------------------
maybe the webpage is flakey too!

$14.43 is the correct figure, I initially didn't notice that your 1913 starting figure was $1.00. I went back and entered $2.60 and also got $14.43.
The webpage calculator is accurate, I have used it in the past.

Just pick out what you can use, and pass on the rest. I prefer too much over too little.
Boooie, I hope you enjoy your trip and don't hesitate to reach out for any details I can assist you with!

The interesting thing about the tolls is that you can pay either in dollars or in pesos, but not a combination of the two.
And if you pay in dollars, the change comes in pesos.

I think that with the toll fare, you receive some type of insurance for damage due to defects along the Mex 1 toll sections. You get a receipt (?),
and it explains it on the back (?). It's been years since I paid the tolls - always go San Felipe now. Anyone confirm this?
