How can I pay Macedonia highway tolls
Toll payment in North Macedonia can be made both in cash using the local currency (MKD) and by credit cards.
Euros are also accepted in cash, including €1 and €2 coins as well as 50 cents. However, 10 and 20 cent coins are not accepted.
For currency exchange, both local currency and Euro can be used. However, it is recommended to use the local currency as Euro rates are fixed and require conversion to the central bank rate, which can result in 10-15% higher costs than paying in local currency.
