Free Highway Toll for Small Vehicles During Qingming Holiday 2026: April 4–6

The Qingming Festival holiday in 2026 will run from April 4 to April 6, totaling three days, with no need for compensatory workdays. During this period, toll-free travel will be implemented nationwide on expressways for passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer. The toll-free period begins at 00:00 on April 4 and ends at 24:00 on April 6. Eligibility for the toll exemption is determined by the time a vehicle exits the expressway—any vehicle exiting within this window qualifies for the benefit. If your return trip approaches the end of the toll-free period, it is advisable to exit the expressway at the nearest interchange and re-enter afterward to maximize your use of the free policy. Traffic volume on expressways is expected to remain high throughout the holiday.
