2 Best Toll Stations in Vancouver

Vancouver’s listed toll stations are ferry vehicle-entry points rather than general road toll facilities. The practical choice is determined by your sailing route: Tsawwassen serves ferry departures from the south, while Horseshoe Bay starts trips toward Vancouver Island.

Compare the terminal process, facilities and journey direction. Vehicle travellers should also account for ticket collection, marked lanes, queuing and loading time, with standby access dependent on space.

Frequently asked questions

Are these toll stations for ordinary road tolls?

The listed locations are ferry vehicle-entry points. BC Ferries Tsawwassen Toll Booth and Horseshoe Bay Toll Plaza organise vehicles entering ferry terminals, rather than functioning as general-purpose road toll stations.

Which station should I use for Vancouver Island travel?

Use the terminal shown on your ferry booking. Horseshoe Bay Toll Plaza is described as a starting point for travel toward Vancouver Island, while Tsawwassen Toll Booth serves sailings departing from Tsawwassen.

Can I use a standby lane at Tsawwassen?

Eligible vehicles may be directed to standby lanes when space permits, but an earlier sailing is not guaranteed. Treat standby as dependent on available capacity and follow terminal staff direction.

How much time should I allow at a toll plaza?

Allow enough time for vehicle queuing, ticket collection or checking, lane direction and loading before departure. The Horseshoe Bay profile specifically highlights queuing and loading, so arriving at the last minute is impractical.
