Vignette and tolls in Austria
In Austria you need a vignette on motorways and expressways. On a few Alpine sections you pay a separate toll on top, even with a vignette. Below you can see what applies to your vehicle, what it costs and what else to sort out before you leave.
Austria: what do you need?
Car: Vignette Standard rule.
Car with caravan: Vignette One vignette for the car. No toll is due for a trailer towed by a vehicle up to 3.5 t.
Motorhome up to 3.5 t: Vignette Motorhomes up to 3.5 t use the vignette.
Motorhome over 3.5 t: Distance-based toll GO-Box required (EUR 12 processing fee), toll per kilometre by the motorhome's number of axles. Trailer axles are not counted for motorhomes.
From 1 February 2027 only the digital vignette exists. The 2026 sticker is the last one.

Can you avoid the tolls?
Next to most toll tunnels there is a pass or an old main road. That saves the toll but costs time, and not every pass suits a caravan or motorhome.
Tauern car train: Böckstein to Mallnitz Car train
The train runs only once an hour and cannot be booked. For a car the single trip costs more than the A10 tunnel toll, so compare the current amounts.
- Alternative to
- Tauern and Katschberg tunnels (A 10)
- Price
- Price at the loading station, as of February 2026: car including trailer up to 750 kg 26 euros, car with trailer from 751 to 3,500 kg 40 euros, lorry, bus or motorhome 78 euros. Partly cheaper online in advance.
