Apple Maps allows you to easily avoid tolls when getting directions. There are a couple ways to toggle this setting on or off.

Avoid Tolls for a Single Trip
When planning a route:
- Enter your destination and tap Go.
- In the route options, tap “Avoid”.
- Toggle on “Tolls” to avoid toll roads.
- Tap “Apply” then your new toll-free route will appear.
Always Avoid Tolls
You can set Apple Maps to always avoid tolls when navigating:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap on “Maps”.
- Tap on “Driving & Navigation”.
- Under “Avoid”, toggle on “Tolls”.
Now Apple Maps will avoid toll roads by default whenever you get directions.
If you want to enable or disable toll road avoidance during an active navigation session:
- Tap the bottom bar showing your route overview.
- Tap “Route Options”.
- Toggle on or off “Avoid Tolls”.
- Tap “Apply” to confirm and reroute.
So in summary, avoiding tolls in Apple Maps is easy – just tap to toggle them on or off when planning your route or during navigation. This gives you flexibility in deciding when you want to take toll roads or not.
Avoiding Highways
The same options also allow you to avoid highways by toggling “Highways” instead of tolls. This can be useful in certain situations like driving an unfamiliar vehicle.
So give it a try next time you need to get somewhere! Apple Maps makes it simple to take toll or highway-free routes when required.
