The toll charge on the Costa del Sol motorway has been increased by between 3.5 and five per cent on the Malaga-Estepona stretch following the approval by the Development Ministry. This means that drivers of cars or motorbike riders will now have to pay 3.75 euros between Malaga and Marbella as opposed to the 3.60 euros it cost in 2008, which is a 4.1 per cent increase. This is the standard tariff between October and May, except during Holy Week.

Throughout the rest of the year a fee of 6.10 euros between Malaga and Marbella (+ 4.2 per cent) will be in force. Drivers travelling on the Malaga-Calahonda or Calahonda-Marbella stretch will pay a standard fee of 2.35 euros (+ 4.4 per cent), and 3.80 euros (+4.1 per cent) during the peak holiday season. There will be a standard charge of 2.55 euros (+3.5 per cent) and a peak charge of 4.15 euros (+ 5 per cent) between Marbella and Estepona, and between Marbella and San Pedro, or San Pedro and Estepona, drivers will face charges of 1.40 euros and 2.40 euros respectively.
