Tolls in Italy
In Italy you pay tolls per section on the motorways. There is no vignette. The rate depends on the distance and on your vehicle class, which is set by the height at the front axle and the number of axles. On a few motorways in the north there are no toll gates: there you pay afterwards.
Choose your vehicle

ZTL and city zones
Many Italian city centres have a ZTL: a zone you may not drive into without a permit. Cameras read your number plate and the fine follows later at home. Milan has two zones of its own on top.
| City | In short | With a foreign number plate |
|---|---|---|
| Bologna | Limited traffic centre, monitored by the Sirio camera system: every day from 7:00 to 20:00. Without a permit you can buy a digital day ticket or four-day ticket.Source: Comune di Bologna, 10 November 2026 | Hotels and B&Bs in the zone pass guests' plates to the city; that access is free. Without a hotel: validate a ticket with your plate before you enter the zone. For a foreign plate, untick 'targa italiana'. A typing error counts as no ticket. |
| Firenze | The historic centre is a limited traffic zone in five sectors (A, B, O, F and G). Sectors A, B and O: Mon to Fri 7:30 to 20:00 and Sat 7:30 to 16:00. Electronic gates read every number plate.Source: Comune di Firenze, 10 November 2026 | The gates read all plates. For guests, the hotel puts the plate on a temporary white list online. So give your plate on arrival and ask beforehand whether the hotel does this. |
| Genova | The old town of Genoa is a limited traffic zone all year round, 24 hours a day, public holidays included. Eleven electronic gates monitor access.Source: Comune di Genova, 10 November 2026 | The source gives no separate rule for foreign plates.

| Milano | Large low emission zone covering most of Milan. Older petrol and diesel vehicles are banned Mon to Fri from 7:30 to 19:30. There is no day ticket: it is a ban, not a charge.Source: Comune di Milano, 10 November 2026 | Check in advance on the city website whether your vehicle may enter. Every banned vehicle gets 5 free access days a year; since 1 October 2026 you no longer need to register the plate for these.

| Milano | Limited traffic zone in the city centre with a paid day ticket. Active Mon to Fri from 7:30 to 19:30, not on public holidays.

Cameras at 27 entry points read every plate.Source: Città di Torino, 10 November 2026 | The source gives no separate rule for foreign plates.

| Verona | The historic centre of Verona is a limited traffic zone. Cameras at the gates photograph every plate and send it to the local police.
