Are 7-Seater Vans Toll-Free on Highways?

[McHadley]

Seven-seater vehicles are eligible for toll-free highway access. The toll exemption applies to passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7-seaters) traveling on toll roads, which also includes motorcycles permitted on regular toll roads. Free Period: The exemption starts at 00:00 on the first day of national holidays such as the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday (for regular roads, the toll-free status is determined by the time the vehicle passes through the toll booth lane; for highways, it is determined by the time the vehicle exits the toll lane). Factors Influencing the Toll-Free Policy: Affected by macroeconomic conditions, although only passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer are exempt from tolls during major holidays, the decline in manufacturing economy has led to a noticeable drop in freight demand in some regions, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in toll revenue during the free period. According to a report by Guojin Securities, this policy is expected to impact the performance of listed companies by approximately 5% to 10%.
