Truck toll in Lithuania: a practical guide to Via Toll

Until the end of 2026, a truck in Lithuania pays a fixed price per day with a vignette. From 1 January 2027, the truck toll in Lithuania counts every kilometre: the Via Toll system charges trucks, vans and buses per km on 2,851 km of toll roads. A Euro VI truck with 5 or more axles pays €0.118 per km in 2027, a Euro 0 truck more than twice as much.

With Eurowag, you can add Lithuania to EVA OBU, the on-board unit for tolls across Europe that your trucks may already use in Poland, Germany and other countries.

How the truck toll in Lithuania works

Via Toll charges only for the kilometres a vehicle actually drives on toll roads. There are no toll gates or barriers: the distance comes from an app or an on-board unit, and cameras check that every vehicle on a toll section has paid. The state road company Via Lietuva runs the system.

Via Toll
Who pays buses (M2, M3), vans up to 3.5 t (N1), trucks (N2, N3)
Who doesn't pay passenger cars (M1), even company cars
Toll roads 2,851 km: 19 main roads and 21 regional road sections
Rate per km depends on category, weight, axles, Euro class, CO2 class
Who sets the rates Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration (LTSA), every year by 30 June
How to pay OBU or EETS provider, Via Toll app, route ticket
Fine for not paying €700 to €1,000

Vans are part of it too. N1 vehicles pay per km like heavy trucks, at €0.035 per km for a Euro VI van in 2027. The regional roads have been tolled since 1 July 2025, so routes that avoid the motorways are not automatically free. Via Lietuva publishes the full list of toll roads (in Lithuanian).

From vignettes to Via Toll: what changes on 1 January 2027

Until the end of 2026, a truck with a Lithuanian vignette pays the same for a day whether it drives 50 km or 500 km. Via Toll ends that: from 1 January 2027, every kilometre on a toll road counts. Lithuania follows the Netherlands, which switched from the Eurovignette to a per km truck toll on 1 July 2026.

All vignettes bought in 2026 expire on 31 December 2026, even if they show a later end date. Holders of annual vignettes bought before July 2026 get money back for the unused period, and Via Lietuva will publish the refund procedure later.

How much is the truck toll in Lithuania?

LTSA sets the Lithuanian road toll rates every year by 30 June. The rates for 2027 are in LTSA order No. 2BE-97 of 30 June 2026. Each rate has two parts: an infrastructure charge and a CO2 charge.

Vehicle Axles Euro VI Euro V Euro 0
N1 van, up to 3.5 t all €0.035 €0.036 €0.046
N2 truck, 3.5 to 12 t 2 €0.074 €0.076 €0.092
N2 truck, 3.5 to 12 t 3 or more €0.083 €0.085 €0.107
N3 truck, over 12 t up to 3 €0.111 €0.132 €0.248
N3 truck, over 12 t 4 €0.115 €0.138 €0.259
N3 truck, over 12 t 5 or more €0.118 €0.141 €0.266

Rates per km in 2027 for CO2 class 1, from LTSA order No. 2BE-97.

CO2 class 1 is the default. Newer trucks with certified CO2 emission data can fall into a better CO2 class with a lower rate, so check the class of your vehicles with your toll provider.

Buses pay too. A Euro VI M2 bus pays the same €0.035 per km as a van, and a Euro VI bus with 35 to 60 seats pays €0.061 per km.

How much 100 km costs a heavy truck in Lithuania

For an N3 truck with 5 or more axles, the Euro class decides most of the bill. These are the 2027 rates from the LTSA order, multiplied by 100 km:

Euro class Toll per 100 km
Euro VI €11.80
Euro V €14.10
Euro IV €16.50
Euro III €18.90
Euro II €21.30
Euro I €23.60
Euro 0 €26.60

The gap is not only in the CO2 part. A Euro 0 truck pays more than twice as much in the infrastructure part alone (€0.215 per km against €0.098 for Euro VI), on top of a higher CO2 charge. If you run a mixed fleet, sending your newest trucks on Lithuanian routes is the simplest way to cut the toll bill.

Low-emission and zero-emission vehicles have their own, lower rates in the LTSA order. Electric and hydrogen vehicles pay half of the rate, and so do vehicles used by agricultural and animal feed producers. Biomethane vehicles pay 60% of it.

Budget a standard tractor-trailer at the 5+ axle rate. The 2027 rates for 5 or more axles cover combinations such as a two-axle tractor with a three-axle semi-trailer. The LTSA order itself doesn't spell out how trailer axles count, so confirm the class for other combinations with Via Lietuva or your toll provider.

Who pays most: foreign carriers and older fleets

Foreign trucks pay a large share of Lithuanian tolls. According to the Lithuanian Ministry of Transport and Communications, more than 500,000 goods vehicles a year cross Lithuania in transit or carry goods in and out, and foreign carriers paid about 61% of the daily road user charge (2023 figures).

The ministry's figures also show a split inside Lithuania. About 80% of Lithuanian trucks in international transport were Euro VI, while domestic transport was dominated by Euro 0 to Euro III trucks (2023 figures). Under Via Toll, these older trucks pay the highest rates in the table.

For the state, the result is clear in the numbers. Via Lietuva expects toll revenue to grow from about €70 million a year with vignettes to about €110 million in 2027.

How to pay Via Toll in Lithuania

You can pay Via Toll in four ways. Which one fits depends on how often your trucks drive in Lithuania.

Option Best for How it works
OBU through an EETS provider fleets driving in several countries The OBU sends trip data and the toll is calculated automatically. With an accredited EETS provider, you don't register separately in Via Toll.
Via Toll app single trucks and occasional trips Free app on a smartphone or tablet. The driver starts it before every trip on toll roads.
Route ticket one-off transit, drivers without a smartphone You buy one planned route in advance on the Via Toll self-service portal.
Via Toll account with card or fuel card carriers who use the app or tickets You pay before or after the trip by e-banking, debit or credit card, or a fuel card from a provider connected to Via Toll.

Via Toll does not accept cash, and you can't pay the toll at fuel stations. If you use the app or route tickets, register the company and vehicles first. For Lithuanian plates, the system loads the technical data from the Regitra vehicle register. Foreign carriers should have the category, number of axles and Euro class of each vehicle ready.

Paying Via Toll with Eurowag

If your trucks already have EVA OBU, adding Lithuania is quick and simple. As a European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) provider, Eurowag lets your trucks pay Via Toll with the same device they already use for tolls in Poland, Germany, Czechia and other countries. Eurowag takes care of the registrationand setup, and you pay the tolls automatically after the trip.

The difference shows in daily work. With the Via Toll app, a driver has to remember to start it before every trip on a toll road, and the phone has to stay charged. Cameras check in real time whether the app is running. With an OBU, the toll is recorded automatically, without depending on the driver.

What a missed truck toll payment costs in Lithuania 

Driving on a toll road without paying can cost a fine of €700 to €1,000, for the driver, the owner or the manager of the vehicle. A €700 fine equals the 2027 toll for about 5,900 km with a Euro VI truck with 5 or more axles. That is more than twice the length of the whole Lithuanian toll network.

Cameras identify vehicles on toll sections and report unpaid trips to the system automatically. Via Lietuva is expanding the network from about 450 monitoring points to about 670, with 216 new cameras.

Často kladené otázky

Is Via Toll Lithuania the same as the old Polish viaTOLL?

No, Via Toll Lithuania is the electronic toll system that Via Lietuva runs from 1 January 2027. The Polish viaTOLL ended in 2021, and Poland has used e-TOLL since 1 October 2021. Accounts and devices from viaTOLL don't work in Lithuania. If your trucks drive through Poland on the way, see our guide to the truck toll in Poland.

Do trucks in transit through Lithuania pay Via Toll?

Yes, the truck toll in Lithuania applies to every M2, M3, N1, N2 and N3 vehicle on toll roads, whatever country it is registered in. A truck in transit pays for every kilometre on toll roads. For a one-off transit, a route ticket from the Via Toll self-service portal is the simplest option. If your trucks cross Lithuania every week, an OBU from an EETS provider saves you buying a ticket for every trip.

Will Via Toll track where my drivers go?

No, according to Via Lietuva, Via Toll records only the data needed to calculate the toll and does not monitor people's movements. All Via Toll data is stored in Lithuania, at the Telecentras State Data Centre. If you want to plan routes or follow your trucks live, you need fleet management software such as Eurowag Office, which you control yourself.

How often do the Lithuanian road toll rates change?

The rates can change every year. LTSA reviews the Lithuanian road toll rates by 30 June and publishes them in the Lithuanian Register of Legal Acts. The infrastructure part and the CO2 part of the rate can change separately. If you agree yearly prices with customers on Lithuanian routes, check the new rates after 30 June.
