Toll in Italy on the way to Tuscany

Those traveling to Tuscany by car or campervan will typically pay tolls in three countries: in Austria or Switzerland via vignette, and in Italy based on distance. Here you'll find current prices and tips on how to navigate the toll booths smoothly. Our pre-departure checklist summarizes what you should do before your trip.

Toll in Italy

Is there a vignette in Italy?

No. There is no vignette in Italy; tolls are calculated based on distance. On most motorways, you take a ticket when entering and pay for the distance traveled when exiting. The amount depends on the vehicle class and the route. Motorhomes often pay more than cars, depending on the number of axles and the height of the front axle.

Calculate tolls in Italy

Here's how the toll works: You take a ticket upon entry, hand it in at the exit, and pay for the shortest route between the two toll plazas. A per-kilometer rate is calculated for each vehicle class (for Autostrade per l'Italia 2026, this is approximately 8 cents per kilometer for class A in flat terrain, slightly more in mountainous areas), including 22% VAT, rounded to the nearest 10 cents. Some sections have an open system without a ticket, with a fixed toll amount payable at the toll plaza, such as the A12 Rome–Civitavecchia. Payment is made at the exit in cash, by card, or via a toll box (see below).

The exact toll amount for your journey can be calculated by the Autostrade per l'Italia route planner at autostrade.it : Enter your starting point and destination, select your vehicle class – the route, travel time, and toll costs will be displayed. The ADAC route planner also provides approximate toll costs. Siena and Grosseto are not located on a toll motorway: You only pay up to the last toll plaza (for Siena, for example, Firenze Impruneta; for Grosseto, the end of the A12 near Cecina); after that, the motorway is toll-free.

Toll categories: Car, motorhome and vehicle combination

In Italy, tolls are based on the number of axles and – in the case of two-axle vehicles – on the height above the front axle:

Class	vehicle.	Typical for
A	2 axles, height at the front axle up to 1,30 m	Car, motorcycle
B	2 axles, height at the front axle over 1,30 m	most motorhomes and campervans
3	3 axes	Car with single-axle caravan or trailer
4	4 axes	Car with tandem caravan, motorhome with trailer
5	5 or more axes	Truck combinations

For motorhomes in category B, the toll is only slightly higher than for cars – around €1,30 on the Brenner–Rome route (see table above). It becomes more expensive with a trailer or caravan. You can find more tips for traveling with a campervan at the motorhome pitches in Tuscany.

Toll-free roads in Tuscany

In Tuscany itself, you can drive on many expressways without tolls, for example on the Superstrada Florence–Siena, the Florence–Pisa–Livorno (FI-PI-LI) route, and the Aurelia (SS1) along the coast. Only a short section of the A12 between Rosignano and San Pietro in Palazzi near Cecina is subject to tolls – for cars, the cost is less than one euro. You can read more about roads and traffic regulations in the section on traffic rules in Italy.

Here's how to pay at the toll station

• Bar on the traces with the symbol of a hand or banknotes (machine or cashier).
• Credit or debit card in the blue marked “Carte” lanes – without PIN and without fees.
• Toll box on the yellow-marked Telepass lanes – without stopping. Devices from providers licensed in Italy are accepted; according to Autostrade per l’Italia, these include Telepass and UnipolMove, among others. For holidaymakers, toll boxes are available for rent, e.g. from Maut1; additional fees apply.
• Drive Never enter the yellow Telepass lane without a toll box. And do not reverse at the tollbooth if you are in the wrong lane – press the help button instead.

If the payment fails

If your card doesn't work or you don't have cash, press the help button ( Assistista ) at the toll booth. You will then receive a receipt for the unpaid toll, the Rapporto di Mancato Pagamento . You can pay the amount within 15 days free of charge, for example online at Autostrade per l'Italia or at Punto Blu service points. After that, processing fees will apply.

Arrival via Austria and the Brenner Pass

Austrian vignette 2026

You need a vignette to drive on Austria's motorways and expressways. The 2026 annual vignette is valid from December 1, 2025, to January 31, 2027. The adhesive vignette will be the last one issued in 2026; from 2027 onward, only the digital vignette, linked to your license plate, will be available. The 2027 annual vignette is valid from December 1, 2026, to January 31, 2028. Its prices had not yet been officially published in early November 2026; according to media reports, the annual vignette is expected to cost around €1 from January 2027, 109 – those who buy it before then will still pay the 2026 price.

Vignette	Car	Motorcycle
1 day (digital only)	9,60 €	3,80 €
10 days	12,80 €	5,10 €
2 months	32,00 €	12,80 €
1 year	106,80 €	42,70 €

You can purchase the digital vignette from ASFINAG, ÖAMTC/ADAC, or providers like Maut1 . Please note when purchasing from the ASFINAG webshop: For consumers, the digital vignette is only valid 18 days after purchase (cancellation period) – so buy it well in advance of your trip.

Toll at the Brenner Pass: A13 and onward travel in Italy

You pay a separate toll for the Brenner motorway A13: €12,50 per trip for cars (Innsbruck–Brennerpass, 2026), payable at the Schönberg toll plaza or digitally in advance. Those traveling on the A13 via the Inntal motorway A12 also need a vignette.

With digital tolling , your license plate is registered when you purchase a ticket, and the barrier opens automatically at the toll plaza. The green-marked digital lane is reserved for passenger cars without trailers and under 2 meters wide; motorhomes and vehicles with trailers must use the occupied lanes. At the Brenner Pass, vehicles with a digital ticket (under 3,5 tons) can also use the GO lane on the far right. From the Brenner Pass onwards, the Italian A22 Brenner motorway uses a ticket system: you take a ticket at the first toll plaza and only pay when you exit the motorway. For passenger cars up to Florence, the toll is approximately €37 (see table above).

Motorhome over 3,5 t: GO-Box instead of vignette

In Austria, vehicles with a technically permissible maximum laden mass of more than 3,5 t technically permissible maximum laden mass (field F.1 on the vehicle registration document) do not pay a vignette but instead the distance-based GO toll via a GO-Box – including on the Brenner motorway. Since 1 December 2023, this value applies, no longer the registered permissible total weight. For vehicles whose permissible total weight was already set at no more than 3,5 t before this cut-off date (de-rated motorhomes), the vignette or route toll requirement still applies until 31 January 2029. In Italy, weight plays no role for tolls: the toll class depends on the number of axles and the height at the front axle, so a two-axle motorhome over 3,5 t usually still falls into class B. In Italy, however, note the lower speed limits and the 0,0 per mille blood alcohol limit for vehicles over 3,5 t (see Traffic rules in Italy).

Arrival via Switzerland

In Switzerland there is only an annual vignette: it costs 40 francs and is valid from 1 December of the previous year until 31 January of the following year. It is available as a sticker (at petrol stations, at the border, from the ADAC) or as an e-vignette via the official “Via” portal of the Swiss customs authority (bazg.admin.ch), which is linked to your number plate. When buying online, make sure to enter your number plate exactly and avoid third-party providers that charge surcharges. More about the digital vignette in Switzerland.

There are no additional tolls for driving through the Gotthard or San Bernardino tunnels. Tip for mobile phone users: Switzerland is not part of the EU roaming network – more information can be found under " Making a call in Italy".
