Austria Truck Tolls 2025: GO-Box, Brenner & Section Rates
Austria has one of the most complex toll systems in Europe. Since 2024, the GO-Box toll for trucks (also called GO Maut) also includes CO₂ emission classes, meaning toll costs depend not only on kilometers and axles but also on emission standards. Routes like the A13 Brenner Motorway are especially costly, with night surcharges (22:00–05:00) almost doubling prices. For carriers, toll costs on Austrian motorways can significantly affect profitability.
