Has anyone used this pulling your RV? I checked the price and it came to around $9.00 for 4 axles (2 on truck, 2 on RV), getting on at the beginning and exiting at 183 Exit (to go to McKinney Falls SP). I think it would be worth it knowing how bad Austin traffic can be just about anytime of day on I35.
(Sorry for posting in wrong forum! I've contacted Mod to move.)

I drove the MH on here from Hutto north to I35 and it was $1.25. Nice road to avoid the traffic.

We always use TX-130 with the rv and toad going to Corpus and with the car while doing local trips. We usually get on at north Georgetown (195 and I35) and go to the 183 exit. The tolls are well worth the price to miss the awful mess of traffic on I-35 thru Austin.

Is $9.00 about the correct toll amount for the 4 axles (truck & rv)? That doesn't seem to unreasonable to me, but $18.+, as someone else quoted is too much.

See this link for toll cost on TX130
Think you'll find the cost for 4-axles is $21.xx from top to bottom or vis-versa.
For me it's worth every penny not having to sit dead stop in Austin Round Rock traffic for two hours.
Traffic has been bad in that area for the last 20+ years, especially in the Round Rock area and the tech centers of Dell and UT Austin.
It's now ridiculous !!

We use it all the time. The toll cost is a small price to pay for the light traffic and no congestion. Time savings is significant. The "By Mail" billing is nice if you don't have a windshield tag. If you have a tag from another toll system, it may be honored. Check the website for info.
