Toll in Austria applies to vehicles with a weight of over 3.5 tonnes and is subject to VAT. Austria’s toll collection system enables continuous traffic – vehicles do not have to stop or choose a different lane. Austria collects the toll by means of on-board units called “GO-Boxes” and toll gates. When a vehicle passes under a toll gate, the GO-Box communicates with the toll gate electronically, using microwave technology.

With Eurowag you enjoy a simple registration process and an overview of all transactions and invoices in the customer portal available online 24/7.

We've gathered some of the important information on Toll in Austria for you below.

The toll in Austria may be paid in two different ways

Pre-pay

A balance is maintained on the GO-Box by “charging” it (minimum charge is 75 Euros, maximum charge 500 Euros), and toll amounts are debited as they are incurred.

Post-pay

Toll is paid in arrears at regular intervals, based on actual motorway/expressway use.
