Austria
In Austria, motorcycles and vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tonnes have to pay a toll for using motorways and expressways, and for cars you have to buy a vignette. Information about the vignettes for trailer vehicles can be found on www.asfinag.at, in the Frequently Asked Questions.
There are two types of sticker, electronic and classic, with a validity period of 10 days, 2 months and 1 year. For a 10-day vignette, the start of the validity period indicated on the vignette is counted from the first day of validity, while a 2-month vignette is valid until the same calendar day of the second month following the start of validity. The annual sticker is valid from 1 December of the previous year until 31 January of the year following the year of validity, i.e. for a total of 14 months.
The e-vignette can only be purchased with a validity start date after the expiry of the online purchase return period, with the closest validity start date being 18 days from the date of purchase. The possible start and end of validity can be viewed on shop.asfinag.at. The validity of the electronic vignette can be checked on the website evidenz.asfinag.at.
The annual toll vignette can be replaced if it is lost or if the windscreen is damaged. You can request a replacement vignette by sending the completed form to ASFINAG Maut Service GmbH, the request documents can be downloaded at the bottom of the toll vignette page (www.asfinag.at).
The vignette can be bought online at www.asfinag.at and in physical form at general points of sale (www.asfinag.at), such as border crossings, petrol stations, some car repair shops and newsagents.
2023 VIGNETTE PRICES IN AUSTRIA
| Validity / vehicle | Motorcycle | Vehicles up to 3,5 tonnes |
|---|---|---|
| 10 days | 5.80 EUR (ten days) | 9.90 EUR (ten days) |

For vehicles with a gross weight of more than 3.5 tonnes, the toll is paid via the GO Box on-board unit (www.go-maut.at). The toll category is determined by the emission class and the number of axles. Vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes are sometimes subject to driving restrictions (www.asfinag.at) to reduce noise levels at night and to facilitate weekend road traffic.
In addition to motorways, tolls are charged at toll gates for several tunnels and mountain passes. To use the toll tunnels and passes, you do not need a vignette, but you must pay tolls (https://www.asfinag.at/en/toll/section-toll/) by the usual payment methods: cash, debit or fuel card, prepaid ticket, online ticket or Digital Section Toll Flex. In addition to a single ticket or season ticket, a monthly season ticket can also be purchased for the A11 Karavanken and A13 Brenner motorways.
In mountainous areas, there are toll roads in some places and access to higher places by car or motorbike. These roads lead to the upper parts of the mountains, around ski lifts and areas with high mountain views. Some roads are closed in winter.
The map of priority toll roads, tunnels, passes and free places is available on www.asfinag.at.
