GO toll system
Toll obligation
For motor vehicles over 3.5 tonnes maximum technically permissible laden mass
All vehicles driven on motorways, expressways and section toll segments are subject to the toll in Austria. The toll rate system is regulated by the Tolling Regulations.
Find out in good time before your journey about the toll obligation in Austria and about the handling and function of the GO-Box.
Trucks, buses and heavy motorhomes pay GO tolls
If you drive a multi-track motor vehicle over 3.5 tonnes maximum technically permissible laden mass, you must pay a mileage-based toll. We call this the GO toll or "HGV toll".
You can find all information on this and the SelfCare portal on this website.
Cars, motorcycles and light motorhomes require a vignette or a section route toll ticket
If you drive a single or multi-track motor vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes maximum technically permissible laden mass, you must pay a time-based toll, also known as a “car toll” (vignette and route toll).
You can find all the relevant information in the ASFINAG Toll Shop.
On which sections do you pay GO tolls?
Toll sections
You pay the GO toll on the entire toll network in Austria – on motorways, expressways and toll sections.
The section network is divided into many small toll sections. This way, you only pay GO toll for the section you actually drive on (distance-related toll).
The best way to find out how much a section costs is to look at the rates or to use the toll calculator or the toll calculator light.
What you need
You need a technically suitable on-board unit
The GO toll system works with microwave technology (DSRC – Dedicated Short Range Communication). To be able to pay GO tolls, you need an on-board unit (OBU – on-board unit) that is suitable for this technology. You can obtain such a device from our GO points of sale: the GO-Box.
Also possible: Use the Toll Collect OBU or an EETS on-board unit.
How much is the toll?
Rate-relevant characteristics
The amount of the toll for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes maximum technically permissible laden mass depends on:
- Distance driven
- Number of axles
- CO₂ emission class, EURO emission class
- Daytime (A 13 Brenner motorway)
Obligation to provide evidence
Rate characteristics for which evidence is required
Pay particular attention to the fact that you must provide us with evidence of certain rate-relevant characteristics. You have 30 days to do this after registering for the GO toll system or after changing rate-relevant characteristics.
You can find all information on rate characteristics that require evidence here.
Obligation to cooperate
Find out in good time before your journey about the toll obligation in Austria and about the handling and function of the GO-Box.
The toll applies as soon as you enter the toll road network! There are signs at the access roads indicating that tolls are compulsory.
Please note the following points (see Tolling Regulations duties of motor vehicle drivers):
Obligation to cooperate
- Equip your vehicle over 3.5 t with a toll‑approved on‑board unit before using the toll road network (GO‑Box, Toll Collect OBU, EETS OBU).
- Check the vehicle declaration and carry it during your journey. Do the licence plate, EURO emission class, CO₂ emission class and type of vehicle match? Always keep data up to date!
- Mount the GO‑Box properly.
- Operate the GO‑Box properly.
- Check the functionality of the GO‑Box before, during and after the journey.
- Store the base category (minimum number of axles of the vehicle) and set the number of axles correctly on the GO‑Box.
- Observe the acoustic signals.
- Register a valid means of payment for the post‑pay procedure or ensure sufficient toll credit in the pre‑pay procedure.
- Replace the GO‑Box in good time before the expiry of validity.
- If necessary, pay the toll retroactively properly.
The cooperation obligations of vehicle drivers using other on-board units are the same as for the GO-Box. The installation and verification of the operational functionality of the on-board unit are carried out in accordance with the provider’s specifications.
