The systems and methods described herein provide for dynamically determining a highway toll price. In one embodiment, the system receives, from a client device associated with a user, a travel destination and a user location, then determines an optimal route to the destination from the user location. Next, the system calculates an estimated time for the user in a vehicle to travel along the optimal route to the destination by using highway sections that are reservable, then determines, based on this estimated time, an estimated time saved by using the highway sections that are reservable. The system then determines an initial price estimate based at least in part on the estimated time saved. The system tracks the speed of the vehicle traveling along the optimal route and the speed of a plurality of additional vehicles traveling along highway sections that are not reservable, calculates an effective time saved based on the tracked speed of the vehicle and the tracked speed of the additional vehicles, and adjusts the price estimate based on the effective time saved.
