3. How to calculate tolls in Italy?
Criteria: Governed by sector legislation, agreements, and resolutions.
How to calculate: Multiply unit rate by distance, including junctions and feeder roads. Add 22% VAT, round to 10 cents.
Unit Rate: Based on vehicle type, motorway section characteristics, and managing company.
Rounding System: Automatic rounding based on specific regulations.
Open System: Fixed tolls independent of distance traveled.
Closed system: Most toll booths in Italy operate on the closed system. Here, the driver has to take a ticket when entering and pay the toll cost when leaving the motorway.
The toll cost is calculated based on the number of kilometers driven. If the ticket is lost, a penalty fee is charged and the highest possible amount is payable at the exit station. The yellow lanes may only be used by drivers with a toll box.
A toll is charged on all trucks using the 6,600 km of motorways (autostrade) in Italy.
Expressways (strada extraurbana principale or “superstrada”), on the other hand, are free of toll.
4. Vehicle Classification for Tolls in Italy
Class A: Height ≤ 1.3m (front axle) - e.g., scooters with displacement > 150cc.
Class B: Height > 1.3m (front axle).
Category 3: Vehicles with 3 axles.
