Have a look at this site http://www.autoroutes.fr/voyage/itineraires.php?lng=2

Even though it's a French site, you can put your Spanish destination in and it will price the Spanish tolls as well.

Get it running, and get it sold! My best advice I could ever offer when it comes to Jeeps!


Hardly a wonder really that Jeep (Chrysler) are bankrupt really!

Hi Debi,

Use Via Michellin put in your route, type of car, etc and it will give you approximations of petrol and tolls. It is updated frequently and quite accurate

Could not agree more. We found this site brilliant. In addition you will find it helpful to get money bags from the bank and put in the correct toll money for each stage. This takes a lot of stress out of that particular aspect.
