San Miguel Corporation (SMC) Infrastructure will roll out a two-month toll rebate program for select public utility vehicles (PUVs) and cargo trucks using the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and STAR Tollway.
The program aims to help transport and logistics operators cope with rising fuel costs linked to tensions in the Middle East. Through weekly rebates, toll fees will effectively return to 2014 levels.
Eligible vehicles include public utility jeepneys, buses, UV Express vans, modern jeepneys, and cargo trucks or trailers with at least three axles and a height of more than 7.5 feet.
Rebates will cover the difference between current toll rates and previous rates approved before the January 1, 2026 adjustment.
After rebates, SLEX tolls will drop to P147 (from P160) for Class 1 vehicles, P295 (from P321) for Class 2, and P442 (from P481) for Class 3. On STAR Tollway, rates will be reduced to P104 (from P113) for Class 1, P208 (from P225) for Class 2, and P311 (from P337) for Class 3.
To qualify, vehicles must be registered Autosweep users in good standing and have no unpaid violations across SMC’s expressway network. Cash-paying users must switch to Autosweep and submit required documents, including permits from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.
Enrollment runs from March 23 to April 4, with rebates applied weekly and retroactively once requirements are completed.
The program will be reviewed by the Department of Transportation and the Toll Regulatory Board.
