Driving without a toll sticker - toll checks and penalties in Austria
Paper vignettes and e-vignettes are randomly checked by the Austrian toll operator ASFINAG. Two types of checks can be carried out. Those who have not booked a valid Austria vignette during a check in Austria face severe fines of up to € 3,000.

Around 100 employees of the ASFINAG Service and Control Service stop vehicles at random and check whether a valid paper or e-vignette has been booked.

There are 20 mobile vignette control cameras that automatically detect whether a valid paper or e-vignette is present. The locations of the control cameras on Austrian roads vary regularly.

Check your digital vignette - validity check of the e-vignette for Austria.
With the introduction of the e-vignette in Austria, it is possible to check the validity of the e-vignette at ASFINAG. The e-vignette validity check allows you to query whether there is a valid e-vignette or digital route toll for your vehicle and for which period by entering the vehicle license plate number.
Driving through Austria without a toll sticker - is that possible?
In Austria, tolls are compulsory on most motorways and motorways, with the exception of a few short sections on motorways close to the border. Alternatively, Austria can also be travelled on the country roads, which, however, leads to a significant increase in the required travel time due to slow traffic (lorries or tractors), road works on the route or driving through towns and cities with stops at traffic lights.
On the way, however, pay attention to the toll signs so that you don't accidentally drive onto a toll motorway or motorway, which can easily happen in a roundabout if you make the wrong turn and can lead to fines in the triple-digit range during inspections.
This alternative only applies to motorbikes, cars and motorhomes up to a total weight of 3.5 tonnes; all vehicles with a higher weight are subject to a route toll in Austria.

Austria vignette obligation for various vehicles

Vehicles from 3.5 tons
Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of over 3.5 tons must pay a distance based route toll in Austria by means of a toll box. You can order the toll box for Austria from our partner maut1.de.

Trikes, Quads & Co.
Since 2020, trikes and all vehicles with three wheels, such as Piaggio MP3, are considered single-track motor vehicles and require the motorcycle vignette. Quads, on the other hand, require a passenger car vignette regardless of the track width.

The freeway toll, which applies to driving on the Brenner freeway, is also called Brenner toll. The Brenner freeway is divided into two toll sections:
- Brenner freeway A22 - Italy
If you are driving in Austria in the direction of Italy with a vehicle weighing up to and including 3.5 tons, you need the route toll for driving on the Brenner Pass, which you can book directly with us. Alternatively, multiple ticket and annual passes are also available here.
The use of the Brenner freeway A22 (Italy) - also called Autostrada del Brennero - depends on the route. The final charge of the route toll is therefore calculated when leaving the freeway.
Please note: Driving ban on rural roads for through travellers on weekends during the peak travel season
During the summer months, there is a driving ban on rural roads for cars, motorbikes and trucks on all weekends in Austria in the province of Tyrol for people travelling through to Italy. This measure was taken to protect local residents from the heavy holiday traffic or increased traffic on traffic jam detour routes.
Those who are on holiday locally in Kufstein, Reutte or Innsbruck and can prove this, e.g. with a booking confirmation at controls, can pass the barriers.
