Cars will pay just £6.30 if they travel inside just one of the zones, £8.10 if they go into two areas or the maximum £9.90 fee for travelling the entire 27-mile route.
Cars with a trailer installed on the rear will pay a higher £14.20 to use all three zones with vans or motorhomes charged £16.80.
The most expensive fee is slapped onto HGV owners who are charged £17.40 to access all three charging areas.
Motorists pay the fee at dedicated toll plazas located between junctions at three key locations on the route.
These booths are situated between junctions T6 and T7 on the northbound route, T4 and T3 on the southbound and the exits of junctions T3, T4, T5 or T6.
Opening in December 2023, the M6 toll was designed to alleviate traffic congestion on the M6 through the Midlands.
Officials claim the route can be quicker than travelling by motorway, with an estimated 41% reduction in journey times.
Motorists can also save around 10-18 minutes on journeys conducted just by using the nearby A5 and A38 roads.
M6 toll officials explain: “We offer quick access to Cannock, Burntwood, Walsall, Tamworth, Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield.
“We’re also the fastest route to some of the region’s most popular destinations, such as the NEC, Birmingham Airport, the Belfry, Drayton Manor, the Snowdome, McArthurGlen and Resorts World.”
Unlike other motorways in the UK, the ownership around the M6 toll is why road users have to pay a fee.
The route is privately owned and funded by Midland Expressway Ltd, with no government subsidies behind the scheme.
This will continue until 2054, with the toll charges being used towards maintaining the road and delivering customer support.
