The road distance from Vijayawada to Lonavala is 906 km via NH65, Pune - Machilipatnam Highway — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 20 toll plazas across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra. For a car the published fees add up to ₹1,080 one way, about ₹1.19 per km. 8 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹640 extra to be safe.
At 15 h 15 min of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
Lonavala is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

Petrol is cheapest in Karnataka (₹111.30/L) and dearest in Andhra Pradesh (₹117.37/L). Filling the ~60 litres you need in Karnataka saves about ₹366 versus buying it all in Andhra Pradesh.
For the same sedan, fuel for one way costs ₹7,086 on petrol, ₹5,007 on diesel and about ₹2,587 on electric (public fast charging at ₹20/kWh; home charging is far cheaper). An EV with ~350 km real range needs about 3 charging stops on the way.
The pass costs ₹3,075 for 200 crossings (₹15.38 per crossing) on NHAI plazas. This trip uses 12 crossings one way — worth about ₹185 of pass value against ₹1,080 in regular fees. If you drive highways often, the pass pays off on this route.
Return within 24 hours and the car toll for the round trip is ₹1,655 instead of ₹2,160 — a 23% discount that FASTag applies automatically.
About ₹1,720 one way with FASTag across 20 plazas — ₹1,080 in published fees plus ~₹640 estimated for 8 plazas that don't publish rates. A return within 24 hours costs ₹2,935. Without FASTag you pay 1.25x by UPI: ₹2,151.

About 60 litres for a car doing 15 km/l (₹7,086 at Vijayawada prices). A hatchback at 18 km/l needs ~50 L; an SUV at 11 km/l needs ~82 L.
Around ₹8,806 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹7,086 + toll ₹1,720), or ₹17,107 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹2,202 each, one way.
Plan on about 15 h 15 min including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 10 h 59 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹5,740, 3-axle ₹7,215, 4–6 axle ₹9,170, 7+ axle ₹11,035 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Lonavala to Vijayawada toll is the same ~₹1,720 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Lonavala's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
