A few words on the cost of tolls & toll roads on the way down to Xcalak from Laredo, Texas .
The toll roads are Much quicker & safer than the libre (free) roads; they are a bit expensive however. Consider the time spent coming to an almost complete stop five or six (or more ) times each time you pass through a small town or village & you will quickly appreciate the toll roads.
Another advantage are the Green Angels (free service such as gas, tire change etc) that patrol the toll roads. I did not need their services on this trip, I have in prior travel through Mexico. Many speak English & I consider them angels, indeed. Parts etc. are not free - but breaking down on the side of the road with no AAA road service available is a bit scary.
Iin May 2013 a trip of 1600 plus miles using toll road whenever possible, cost slightly less than $200.00 U.S. dollars.
Yes, the cost of the toll roads are a bit expensive, but considering the alternative, worth every penny.

There are plenty of web sites w/ more on the Green Angels & the services they provide , so I will not repeat that here. Just search for green angels on your browser, to find more information..
