Toll Costs for Your 2024 Honda Pilot in Massachusetts Suburbs
Most suburban drivers in a 2024 Honda Pilot pay $3.50 to $7.45 per one-way trip on the Mass Pike with E-ZPass MA. A typical weekday commuter spends $5 to $15 per day if you use the Pike or a tunnel. Your Pilot counts as a standard two-axle passenger vehicle, so you pay car rates.
Exact costs depend on your entry and exit points on I-90. Tolls also apply if you cross the Tobin Bridge or Boston tunnels. E-ZPass MA offers the lowest rates. Pay-by-Plate can cost up to twice as much.
Here are costs for common suburban routes:
| Route or facility | E-ZPass MA (one way) | Pay-by-Plate (one way) |
|---|---|---|
| I-90: I-495 to Boston (Allston/Brighton) | $3.50 | $7 to $8 |
| I-90: Western suburb to Boston | Up to $7.45 | Up to $14 |
| Tobin Bridge | $1.25 | $1.75+ |
| Ted Williams, Sumner, Callahan tunnels | $1.75 | $2.50+ |
Out-of-state E-ZPass costs a bit more than E-ZPass MA but still beats Pay-by-Plate. I-495 has no tolls. Charges hit on I-90 gantries near I-495 and along the Pike. Residents of East Boston, South Boston, Charlestown, or Chelsea pay just $0.20 per trip on some crossings with E-ZPass MA.
Near 01760 in Marlborough, you pay about $3.50 one way to hop on I-90 at I-495 toward Boston with E-ZPass MA. A full trip from western suburbs to Boston hits near $7.45 one way. Pay-by-Plate jumps those to $7 to $14 one way.
Plan for $50 to $150 per month if you commute a few days a week on the Pike. Add tunnels or Tobin Bridge for higher totals.
Cut costs with these steps:
- Get E-ZPass MA for the lowest rates. Start with $20 and skip the annual fee.
- Use an MA transponder if you have out-of-state E-ZPass to lock in MA rates.
- Add your plate to your E-ZPass MA account. This avoids Pay-by-Plate if a read fails.
- Enter the Pike closer to your destination to skip gantries.
- Take free roads like Route 9 for short toll stretches when traffic stays light.
- Check a toll calculator or map for your exact entry and exit points.
