Small Toll Box – Standard

In France, the toll is based on the vehicle’s actual height (excluding superstructures) and actual weight, as measured on site at the toll station.

For motorhomes, the decisive factors are a height of 3 metres and a weight of 3.5 tonnes. According to the toll operator, if either of these limits is exceeded, a Toll Box for large and heavy vehicles is required.

In practice, however, there is a certain degree of tolerance: you only need the ‘large Toll Box’ if your actual weight exceeds 4.5 tonnes and/or your height exceeds 3.05 metres.

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

The following is measured::

• Pure vehicle height; bodywork is not included.

• Actual weight whilst driving; not the maximum authorised mass.

More than 2 axes:

Vehicles with at least 3 axles always require the ‘Large Toll Box’, regardless of height and weight. In France, a tandem axle is counted as a single axle. (When using the ‘Large Toll Box’, the details from the vehicle registration certificate must be provided for Austria.)

Do you have a trailer? – Not relevant for choosing a Toll Box.

These examples are recommendations only and are not guaranteed, as classification takes place automatically at the toll station. Please check your vehicle documents to determine the correct Toll Box. Many newer motorhomes and campervans are under 3 metres in length..

The small Premium Toll Box can be used in Croatia:

• on routes operated by HAC (excluding Istria)

• up to 3.5 tonnes and up to 3 metres in height

Vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tonnes require a vignette in Austria. Please place the Toll Box in a plastic bag or, alternatively, wrap it in aluminium foil to prevent it from transmitting a signal.

The annual rental fee covers the provision of the Toll Box, but not the individual toll charges.

If you keep the Toll Box for longer than one year, the contract will be automatically extended for a further year.

If you return the Toll Box early, no partial refund of the annual fee will be given.
