Przejazd autostradami we Włoszech, jak w większości europejskich krajów, jest płatny. Niestety, opłaty są stosunkowo wysokie. W odróżnieniu do krajów takich jak Czechy, Szwajcaria czy Austria, gdzie wystarczy wykupić winietę, we Włoszech należy uiścić opłatę za każdym razem kiedy korzystamy z autostrady. Wysokość opłaty zależy od kilometrów jakie pokonaliśmy. Przyjąć można, że jest to średnio 8 Euro za każde pokonane 100 km samochodem osobowym. Wjeżdżając na autostradę we Włoszech należy zatrzymać się i pobrać bilet, który następnie będzie potrzebny do uiszczenia opłaty przy zjeździe.

In addition to information about the length of the route and the estimated time to cover it, we will see information about the toll we will have to pay. And so for the example route by highway A22 z Bolzano Nord do Trento Centro (centrum Trent) it will be 4.60 euros.
Vignettes in Italy
Vignettes are a popular form of highway payment in many countries. In Italy, unlike the Czech Republic, Austria or Switzerland, for example, there are no vignettes. We pay for highways at the toll gates.
How to pay for the highway?
Opłaty za przejazd włoską autostradą w 2025 roku możemy dokonać na kilka sposobów. Ważne, aby wiedzieć wcześniej jak zamierzamy zapłacić i wjechać w odpowiednią bramkę zjazdową. Unikniemy wtedy niepotrzebnego stresu. Upewnijmy się także, czy wybrana bramka jest otwarta. Czerwone światło oznacza zamkniętą bramkę.
Cash
The easiest way is to pay with cash. We then go down to the gates marked with a white sign. We can pay at the cashier, or at a self-service machine.
In the first case, we simply give the ticket to the cashier. After a while, the fare will be displayed, which we pay to the cashier.
In the second case, after inserting the ticket collected at the entrance on the self-service machine, the highway fare will appear. It is a good idea to have cash and some change prepared in advance. Paying with a high-denomination banknote for a trip worth several euros can result in the machine issuing a huge amount of coins! The banknotes should be slipped into the appropriate place, and the coins should be dropped into a "bucket" of sorts. If we have paid more than we should have, change will be issued.
Debit/credit card
The fastest way to pay the fee is with a Visa/Maestro/Mastercard credit or debit card. It is advisable to use a foreign currency or multi-currency card to avoid being charged commissions.
Caution: it may happen that payment by penalty is rejected for unknown reasons (despite a positive balance)! It's a good idea to have a second card or cash ready then, especially if you're paying a particular card for a ride for the first time.
Telepass
The yellow sign on the gate indicates the possibility of paying Telepass - the Polish equivalent e-TOLL (the old ViaTOLL). Payment is made using a special device in the vehicle. This avoids waiting in lines, but it is an option good for transportation and business, unsuitable for a tourist trip.
Od 2022 roku dostępne są również inne urządzenia, np. UnipolMove – nowy konkurent Telepass. Działa w tych samych bramkach, ale może być tańszy. Istnieją też międzynarodowe urządzenia (DKV, Axxès) dla pojazdów flotowych.
Viacard
Viacard is a type of magnetic prepaid card with denominations of 25, 50 and 75 euros used to pay for highway travel in Italy. We can purchase it at toll booths on highways, service areas as well as Italian "traffic kiosks."
Viacard to karta przedpłacona, której nie można już nabyć od 2023 roku. Obecne karty działają do wyczerpania środków, ale ich sprzedaż została zakończona. Zaleca się korzystanie z kart płatniczych lub Telepassu.
NOWOŚĆ: System FREE-FLOW
Na niektórych autostradach we Włoszech (np. A36: Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda, A33) obowiązuje nowoczesny system free-flow, czyli pobór opłat bez bramek. Kamery rejestrują numer rejestracyjny, a opłatę należy uiścić online w ciągu 15 dni np tu: https://apl.pedemontana.com. Brak zapłaty skutkuje naliczeniem wysokich kar.

As of 2022, there is a new way to charge tolls on Lombardy's highways, which are nothing like the Italian highways we know so far. North of Milan, there are several sections where there are no gates, and only signs above the road inform us that we have 15 days to pay the toll by registering at the http://www.pedemontana.com. You need to register an account on the site and enter the license plate number of the vehicle we drove. The system itself will tell you where we entered and where we exited. Payment by card should not be a problem.
Website http://www.autostrade.it Has some error in handling:
If we are on the tab giving the price of a highway section and after entering the starting and ending points, we press "calculate" then the price of 0.00 is shown. We need to return to the Info tab and again to the tab with the price and then the price will be given.
Question: I have a lot of small euro coins. Do cashiers or vending machines accept any coin denomination? Greetings
This is how they accept small coins. They can be "slipped" into the vending machine too
I read that on the highways there are tolls due to the classification of the car, theoretically a passenger car is in class A, but with a roof rack exceeds the maximum height for this category. Do you know if the roof rack (coffin) is taken into account for the height of the car?
Yesterday I took the A1 highway in Bologna, downloaded a ticket and arrived in Florence. Nowhere along the way was there an option to pay at the exit. Is there an option to pay it somehow online after the fact?
