The SH 130 Toll From Seguin: What a Daily Commute Costs

How much does the SH 130 toll cost for a daily commute from Seguin?

From Nov 11, 2026, a daily commute on SH 130 from Seguin runs $464.10 a month. That’s $5,569.20 a year. SH 130 is the San Antonio metro’s only toll road, so if your commute uses it, the toll belongs in your monthly housing math. This guide shows how to add it when comparing new apartments near work.

The toll can be larger than many differences in rent between buildings. A building that looks cheaper on paper can cost more once the drive is in.

The toll, dated

Add the toll to true monthly

True monthly is net effective rent plus required fees, plus utilities and parking where they apply. For a commute that uses SH 130 daily, add the toll on top. Here’s a hypothetical comparison to show how it works:

In this example, the Seguin build looks $200 cheaper, but costs $264.10 more each month once the toll is in. Your numbers will differ. The point is to compare totals, not rents.

When the toll matters, and when it doesn’t

It matters if you’d drive SH 130 most workdays, such as a commute toward the Austin side of the corridor or certain routes around the east side of the metro.

It may not if your route avoids SH 130 entirely, which is true for many San Antonio commutes. Utilities in the Seguin area also vary by address, including CPS Energy, GVEC, and Seguin Electric.

Questions to ask yourself

1. Will my daily route actually use SH 130?
2. How many days a week will I drive it?
3. Is there a free route that adds only a few minutes?
4. Does a closer building cost less once the toll is counted?

Ways to lower the cost

If SH 130 is the fastest route for your commute, a few options can reduce the monthly cost:

• Use a toll tag rather than pay-by-mail, which is usually cheaper per trip.
• Check free routes for part of the trip. Some commutes can use SH 130 for only a short stretch.
• Work from home days reduce the number of toll trips each month.
• Choose a building closer to work, so the toll isn’t needed at all.

Each of these changes your real monthly cost. We include the toll only for the trips your route actually uses.
