Stress-free through Austria: pay the toll automatically with the right Toll Box for your journey
The Toll Box is already activated on receipt and ready for immediate use. Installing our Toll Box is simple and straightforward. This is how you proceed:
Find the right place for the Toll Box on your windscreen.
Clean the corresponding spot on the windscreen.
Press the holder with the adhesive spot onto the windscreen.
Important notes on installation
If you have a coated windscreen, it is essential to fit the Toll Box in the uncoated recess (see vehicle manual). This is usually marked by a dotted area. For motorhomes with an alcove and without a coated/heated windscreen, we recommend attaching it to the centre of the windscreen approx. 15 cm above the dashboard.
The Toll Box from maut1.de can of course also be used with a motorbike. We recommend stowing the Toll Box (protected from rain and cold) in a tank bag on the motorbike so that it is facing forwards in the direction of travel.
In France, the toll is based on the actual height (without superstructures) and actual weight of the vehicle at the toll station.
For motorhomes, a height of 3 metres and a weight of 3.5 tonnes are decisive. If both values are exceeded, a Toll Box is required for large and heavy vehicles, according to the toll operator.
In practice, however, there is a certain tolerance: you only need the ‘Large Toll Box’ if you weigh more than 4.5 tonnes and/or are over 3.05 metres high.
Examples:
4.5 tonnes and 2.95 metres -> ‘Small Toll Box’ works
4.6 tonnes and 2.95 metres -> ‘Large Toll Box’ works
4.2 tonnes and 3.05 metres -> ‘Small Toll Box’ works
4.2 tonnes and 3.06 metres -> ‘Large Toll Box’ works
Measured is:
Pure vehicle height, superstructures do not count.
Actual weight while travelling, not permissible total weight.
More than 2 axles:
Vehicles with at least 3 axles always require the ‘Large Toll Box’, regardless of height and weight. A tandem axle is measured as one axle in France.
(For the ‘Large Toll Box’, the data from the vehicle licence must be provided for Austria).
Trailer included? - Not relevant for the selection of the Toll Box.
These examples are recommendations without guarantee, as categorisation takes place automatically at the toll station. Please check your vehicle documents to determine the appropriate Toll Box. Many newer motorhomes and campers remain under 3 metres.
As the "Large Toll Box" needs to be personalized for your vehicle, the right of withdrawal is not applicable after ordering.
You can use your toll box as short or long as you wish. If you no longer need the toll box, simply return it (please with tracking) to the following address:
maut1 GmbH
Anton-Jakob-Str. 5
83026 Rosenheim
The toll fees incurred when passing through toll stations are separate costs and will be charged additionally. You do not need to do anything further. We will settle all toll fees incurred during your trip via your stored payment method, and in case of an overlap between return and billing, we can also charge toll fees after termination.
The annual rental fee covers the provision for the toll box, but not the individual toll fees.
If you keep the toll box for more than a year, the contract is automatically extended for another year.
If you return the toll box prematurely, no partial refund of the annual fee is possible.
In Austria, the toll operators conduct random checks regarding order data. Here, the information in the vehicle registration is checked against the information on maut1.de for consistency. In the event of such a check, you don't need to worry, as we would promptly and automatically contact you and inform you that you must send us a scan or a photo of the vehicle registration within 48 hours. If we do not receive the proof of vehicle registration within the specified period, it may happen that the "Large Toll Box" must be blocked at a cost, and additional fees from the toll operator may apply.
For vehicles over 3.5 t permissible total weight, the “Toll Box for motorhomes over 3 m height” or, for commercially registered vehicles, the “Toll Box for commercial trucks” can generally be used on all roads in Austria. If you are also interested in using this toll box in France, please make sure to inform yourself on the page about the regulations for France.
There is no toll box available for Austria for vehicles up to 3.5 t permissible total weight. In this case, the toll must be paid using a vignette and the section toll (e.g. Brenner). A digital e-vignette can easily be purchased via our partner mautwelt.de. The section toll can be purchased on site or digitally directly from the toll operator.
Toll rates for vignette and section toll up to 3.5 t
For the vignette, which applies to all vehicles up to 3.5 t weight, a distinction is made between the vehicle type: motorcycle or passenger car, and the validity period: 1-day, 10-day, 1-month and 1-year vignette. On special toll routes (see the list below), a flat-rate fee is also charged.
GO toll rates over 3.5 t
The amount of the “GO toll” for all vehicles over 3.5 t depends on the distance travelled and certain vehicle data, such as the number of axles and the EURO emission class. The toll becomes more expensive the further you travel, the more axles the vehicle has and the lower the EURO emission class is. Since 2017, there has also been an additional surcharge for traffic-related noise pollution.
A list of the special toll routes with prices can be found further below.

(t GVW = permissible total weight in tonnes)
All prices quoted are without guarantee.
Note for motorhomes: Since December 1, 2023, the calculation of toll liability in Austria is no longer based on the maximum permissible total weight (GVW) but on the technically permissible total mass (TPM). In the future, the technically permissible total mass (TPM) will determine whether a vehicle is subject to the vignette requirement and section toll (up to 3.5 tonnes TPM) or the GO toll requirement (more than 3.5 tonnes TPM).
Transitional period until January 31, 2029:
For all vehicles that were first registered for road traffic before December 1, 2023
with a technically permissible total mass of more than 3.5 tonnes, and
with a maximum permissible total weight of no more than 3.5 tonnes,
the vignette requirement and section toll for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes (TPM) will continue to apply until January 31, 2029, in accordance with (§ 33 para. 18 no. 8 BStMG).

The “GO Box” is the Toll Box of the Austrian toll operator ASFINAG and is specifically and exclusively activated for Austria. The “Toll Box for vehicles over 3 m height” from maut1 can be used in Austria instead of the GO Box for vehicles weighing more than 3.5 t.
Your advantages with the maut1 Toll Box:
No need to preload credit
No need to upload the vehicle registration document
The driver must additionally specify the number of axles. Only commercially used vehicles must set the number of axles. If your vehicle is registered as a commercially used vehicle, you must check before each trip in Austria whether the current setting is correct.
To check the number of axles, briefly press the button on the Toll Box. The current setting will light up. To change the number of axles, press the button until the next axle number lights up. Once the correct number of axles is set, you can start your journey.
You will receive a vehicle declaration with your delivery. The vehicle declaration is a document containing relevant vehicle data. In Austria, you are required to carry this document with you and present it during inspections.
In Austria, you must always pay attention to the “beep sound.” If the box does not emit a beep or emits four beeps, you must report to a GO Point within 5 hours / 100 km in order to pay the outstanding toll.

Yes, on the A1, A12 and A14, drivers from Germany can travel without purchasing a vignette as far as Salzburg or Kufstein (connection to Kitzbühel).
Vehicles and large motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes GVW must pay tolls in Austria based on the distance travelled using a Toll Box. A certain amount is charged per kilometre driven, which depends, among other things, on the EURO emission class and the number of axles.
All other vehicles are subject to the vignette requirement on toll roads in Austria. Vignettes are small stickers that are placed on the vehicle’s windshield, or they can be registered digitally and are valid for a certain period of time (e.g. 1 month).
No, the digital vignette costs the same as the traditional sticker vignette.
If you are caught driving on an Austrian motorway without a valid vignette, you must pay a substitute toll of €120 for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. For motorcycles, the substitute toll is €65.
The vignette must be purchased before entering the motorway – either online or as a sticker vignette that is attached to the windshield. Tolls in Austria are mandatory. Anyone who does not comply with the rules must expect high substitute toll charges.
