{{As of|2025|01|05|df=us}}, the tolls-by-mail rate going from [[New Jersey]] to [[New York City]] is $18.31 for cars and motorcycles; there is no toll for passenger vehicles going from New York City to New Jersey. New Jersey and New York–issued [[E-ZPass]] users are charged $14.06 for cars and $13.06 for motorcycles during off-peak hours, and $16.06 for cars and $15.06 for motorcycles during peak hours. Users with E-ZPass issued from agencies outside of New Jersey and New York are charged the tolls-by-mail rate.<ref name="tolls">{{cite web | title=2025 Tolls |publisher=Port Authority of New York & New Jersey | url=https://www.panynj.gov/bridges-tunnels/en/tolls/2025-tolls.html | access-date=January 5, 2025}}</ref>

Tolls were formerly collected at a tollbooth on the New Jersey side.<ref name="Romano 1990"/> Originally, tolls were collected in both directions. In August 1970, the Lincoln Tunnel's 50-cent toll, which the Port Authority had charged since the tunnel's 1937 opening, was abolished for westbound drivers. At the same time, eastbound drivers saw their tolls doubled to $1.00. The tolls of eleven other New York–New Jersey and Hudson River crossings along a {{convert|130|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch, from the [[Outerbridge Crossing]] in the south to the [[Rip Van Winkle Bridge]] in the north, were also changed to south- or eastbound-only at that time.<ref name="Moran 1970">{{cite web |last=Moran |first=Nancy |title=One-Way Tolls Confusing Some Drivers |website=The New York Times |issn=0362-4331 |date=August 13, 1970 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1970/08/13/archives/oneway-tolls-confusing-some-drivers.html |access-date=April 9, 2018 |archive-date=June 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200627214550/https://www.nytimes.com/1970/08/13/archives/oneway-tolls-confusing-some-drivers.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The westbound tollbooths were later removed.

In March 2020, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], all-electronic tolling was temporarily placed in effect for all [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey|Port Authority]] crossings, including the Lincoln Tunnel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.panynj.gov/port-authority/en/press-room/in-line-with-emergency-orders-from-new-york-and-new-jersey--port.html|date=March 22, 2020|title=In Line With Emergency Orders From New York and New Jersey, Port Authority to Collect Tolls Exclusively by Electronic Means and Temporarily Suspend Cash Toll Collection at Hudson River Crossings|publisher=[[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]]|access-date=2020-03-28|archive-date=March 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200328034433/https://www.panynj.gov/port-authority/en/press-room/in-line-with-emergency-orders-from-new-york-and-new-jersey--port.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Open road tolling]] began on December 11, 2022.<ref>{{cite web |date=December 12, 2022 |title=Miss the Memo?
