The road tolls are payable in foreign currency and the amounts are set in the US Dollar. An option has been provided for payment in the Botswana Pula, South African Rand, Euros and British Pounds using the international cross rates of exchange of these currencies to the US Dollar prevailing on the day before the date of payment.
Exemptions include ambulances, fire brigade vehicles, Government number-plated vehicles belonging to the State, vehicles registered by a diplomatic mission and transit vehicles. Transit vehicles include foreign buses and heavy goods vehicles in transit between two ports of entry.
Drivers of exempted vehicles other than transit vehicles will need to keep more than one copy of the vehicle registration book and the log book in the vehicle. ZIMRA may retain copies of the registration book for verification. Transit vehicles will only be exempt if the person in charge of the vehicle shows proof of payment of transit charges together with any of the following documents which state the destination of the vehicle:
- a bilateral permit or COMESA Treaty permit referred to in item 4 and 5 of the Road Motor Transportation (Public Services Vehicles) Regulations, 1998; or
- a Route Authority issued in terms of section 12 of the Road Motor Transportation Act, 1997.
Motorists driving Government-owned vehicles with private number plates, vehicles belonging to parastatals and quasi-Government organisations as well as light motor vehicles transiting Zimbabwe are also required to pay. Motorists are also kindly requested to tender the exact amount of road tolls, observe road signs, reduce speed and exercise extreme caution when approaching road tolling points. Traffic signs (illustrated below) have been erected to inform and warn motorists accordingly.
