Toll Roads, Toll Stickers and GO Box

Highways and expressways in Austria (also city motorways) are generally subject to toll. The toll is effected by purchasing a toll sticker to be attached to the windscreen.


The toll sticker can be purchased in Austria: at the automobile clubs ÖAMTC und ARBÖ, at tobacconists' shops and petrol stations.
In neighbouring states: at the local automobile clubs and at petrol stations close to the border.

Placement of the toll sticker:
Passenger cars: on the upper middle or left side of the windscreen (internal side)
Motorcycles: on a clearly visible part, that is difficult to be removed

Toll fees:
Yearly Sticker:
Passenger Car: € 73,80
Motorcycles: € 29,50

2-Month-Sticker:
Passenger Car: € 22,20
Motorcycles: € 11,10

10-day-Sticker:
Passenger Car: € 7,70
Motorcycles: € 4,40

Infringements of the toll regulation will be punished with an additional charge of € 300,-- to € 3.000,--.

In addition to the toll sticker there are other charges for the following major roads that are subject to toll: Arlberg-tunnel road, Brenner-highway, Dachstein road, Felbertauern road, Gerlos Alpine road, Großglockner-alpine road, Maltatal-Hochalm road, Nockalm road, Pyhrn-highway (Gleinalm tunnel), Pyhrn-highway (Bosruck tunnel), Silvretta alpine road, Sölden – Rettenbachferner-Tiefenbachferner, Tauern-highway, Timmelsjoch, Villacher alpine road – Dobratsch.

GO-Box
All vehicles with a weight of more than 3.5 t must be equipped with an on-board device, the so-called GO-Box. This weight only applies to the vehicle towing the caravan/camper van.

The toll system, which does not require the driver to stop or use a certain lane while the toll is collected, has been in operation since January 1, 2004.
The system is as simple as can be: it consists of two components visible to the driver, the toll gantries and the on-board units. Drivers are obliged to install the so-called GO-Boxes in their vehicles. The size of the GO-Box is that of cigarette box. It ensures accurate toll collection from inside the vehicle. Communication of the small unit that is mounted on the inside of the windscreen and the toll gantries is based on microwave technology.

Where is the GO-Box available?
The GO-Box is available from circa 180 GO-service and sales outlets (mostly Petrol- and Service Stations) in Austria and neighbouring countries.

How much does a GO-Box cost?
The GO-Box is available for a one-off processing fee of € 5,00 (£3.30) including 20% VAT. The relevant vehicles are then broken down into three categories and toll is calculated on the basis of the number of axles, currently from € 0,13 (£ 0.09) per kilometre.

What does it cost to install it?
Installation is free, as the driver can easily and quickly mount it him-/herself. The GO-Box is simply glued onto the windscreen with the attached adhesive tape.

User-friendly:
The driver can easily and quickly mount the GO Box himself/herself to the vehicle. Tolls are charged electronically; either from a credit stored in the GO-Box (pre-pay) or by deducting the amount easily and conveniently from a debit, credit or petrol card at a later date (post-pay).

Reliable:
Safe transmission between GO-Box and toll gantry ensures that tolls are collected reliably. The distance between the GO-Boxes inside the individual vehicles and the toll gantries is short and with sound technology.
The system therefore guarantees to register every passage of a vehicle subject to toll. As such, the GO-Box provides a highly effective system in avoiding toll dodging.

More details and tariff information can be found on www.go-maut.at. This website also offers an online toll calculator.

Additionally, you will need a weight bridge certificate with your vehicle registration documents.
You can keep your box until the end of your holiday, it costs € 5,00.

Vehicles under 3.5 t will only need a toll label for Austrian motorways, which is € 7,70 for 10 days and € 22,20 for 2 months and can be purchased at service stations close to the Austrian border or sales outlets at the border and is affixed to your windscreen.
