Driving Ipoh to Cameron Highlands: route, tolls & fuel

Ipoh to Cameron Highlands is only about 95 km but takes longer than the distance suggests. A short PLUS expressway leg between Ipoh Selatan and Simpang Pulai (Class 1 toll around RM1.48) is followed by the long climb up Route 145 into the highlands. That mountain section is slow and steep, and fuel consumption on the ascent runs well above your car's highway average — plan for more fuel than the flat estimate implies.

Allow around two hours despite the modest distance. Refuel in Ipoh or at Simpang Pulai before you start climbing, as stations are sparse on the mountain road.
