== How does toll system work in Italy ==
 
−
Italy follows a mix of close and open systems of tolling.</br>  
 
−
In a closed system, toll rates are calculated based on the distance travelled on the motorway. To facilitate this, every autostrade is equipped with toll stations at the entry and exit points. You must take a ticket at the entrance of the motorway and hand it over at the exit toll station to get the toll price.</br>
 
−
In the open system, a flat fee is paid at the toll station, independent of the distance travelled. Following motorways have an open toll system
 
−
* A8 Milan - Laghi
 
−
* A12 Rome - Civitavecchia.
 
−
<div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert">
 
−
In case of loss of the ticket or not returning the ticket at the exit toll station, a non-payment slip is provided and the toll will be calculated from the farthest entry station.

Italy Toll Roads Complete Guide

System: Distance-based toll collection (Closed & Open systems)
Coverage: Nationwide Autostrade network (A2, A18, A20 sections toll-free)
Currency: Euro (EUR)
Technology: Telepass RFID, Cash/Card booths, Free Flow systems
Operators: Autostrade per l'Italia, regional concessionaires

Do I Need Telepass for Italy? 2025 Update

No, you don't need Telepass to drive on Italian toll roads - but it significantly speeds up your journey. Italy operates both traditional toll booths and electronic payment systems across its extensive Autostrade network.

Key Reality: Without Telepass, you'll wait in regular toll booth lines that can extend travel time by 15-45 minutes during peak periods. Telepass lanes allow speeds up to 30 km/h through dedicated yellow lanes.

2025 Update: Viacard prepaid cards were discontinued in 2025 but remain valid until December 31, 2029. New Free Flow systems on A33, A36, A59, and A60 require electronic payment only.

Italy Toll Costs: Current Rates

Italy operates distance-based tolls on most Autostrade, with costs varying by vehicle class, route characteristics, and concession operator.

Current Toll Rates by Vehicle Class (2025)

Vehicle Class Description Rate per km Example Cost (100km)
Class A (2 Axles) Motorcycles, cars <1.3m front axle height €0.06-0.09 €6-9
Class B (2 Axles) Motorhomes, vans >1.3m front axle height €0.08-0.12 €8-12
Class 3 (3 Axles) Trucks, buses, car+trailer €0.14-0.20 €14-20
Class 4 (4 Axles) Heavy trucks, articulated vehicles €0.16-0.24 €16-24
Class 5 (5+ Axles) Large trucks, heavy transport €0.18-0.27 €18-27

Major Route Costs (Current Rates)

Popular Routes (Class A vehicles):

  • Milan - Rome (A1): €32-38 (570km)
  • Rome - Naples (A1): €18-22 (225km)
  • Milan - Venice (A4): €15-19 (280km)
  • Bologna - Florence (A1): €12-15 (105km)

How to Pay Italian Tolls

You can use the following toll payment methods to pay toll in Italy:

1. Electronic Systems:

  • Telepass: RFID transponder for yellow lanes (up to 30 km/h passage)
  • European ETC providers: As24, Axxes, DKV Box Italia, TollTickets, UnipolMove
  • Free Flow apps: Conto Targa for A33, A36, A59, A60

2. Manual Payment:

  • Cash: White lanes with attendant (exact change recommended)
  • Credit/Debit cards: Blue "Carte" lanes with attendant
  • Viacard: Valid until 2029 (no new cards sold)

To calculate toll costs for cars, trucks, motorcycles and all vehicle types across Italian toll roads, use TollGuru Italy toll calculator

Recent Changes (2025)

Payment System Updates:

  • Viacard prepaid cards discontinued January 1, 2025 (existing cards valid until 2029)
  • Free Flow expansion on A36 Pedemontana Lombarda sections
  • Enhanced Telepass European coverage including Croatia

Infrastructure Developments:

  • A13 Brenner Autobahn: Lueg Bridge reconstruction causing single-lane restrictions
  • Annual toll adjustments continue across major concessions
  • VAT remains at 22% on all toll charges

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Lane Selection Errors:

  • Never enter yellow Telepass lanes without proper device
  • Choose white (cash) or blue (cards) lanes if paying manually
  • Reversing at toll booths is prohibited (up to €6,000 fine)

Ticket Management:

  • Always take entry ticket even if barrier is open
  • Keep ticket safe - lost tickets incur maximum distance charges
  • Pay unpaid tolls within 15 days to avoid penalties (€87-345)

Planning Your Journey

Cost Considerations

  • Daily costs: €15-40 for typical tourist routes
  • North-South Italy: €60-80 for Milan-Naples journey
  • Free alternatives: Provincial roads (SS) available but significantly slower

Toll-Free Sections

  • A2 Salerno-Reggio di Calabria (southern Italy)
  • A18 Messina-Catania (Sicily)
  • A20 Messina-Palermo sections (Sicily)
  • Urban ring roads around major cities
