Highway Tickets
Although it is possible to pay highway ticket fees by cash in the toll plazas, it is not possible to do so while crossing the bridges over the Bosphorus in Istanbul. Therefore, our foreign guests are strongly advised to obtain a highway payment card, called KGS. The card is sold at the entrances of highways and the buyer should pay 30 Turkish Liras (app. 14 Euros) to obtain the card. However this fee will be loaded as credit into your card, so you can use it in the highways and bridges, during your stay in Turkey.
