What is Streckenmaut? It is a special fee for the maintenance of technically demanding Alpine sections (tunnels and passes). In 2026, the gates will automatically recognize your license plate if you purchase a digital ticket online.

How to pay for tunnels in Austria online?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does a digital vignette exempt from tunnel tolls?
No. A vignette is mandatory on motorways, but special sections (Streckenmaut) are subject to an additional fee. Failure to pay the tunnel toll results in a fine, even if you have a valid vignette.
Can I pay by card at toll booths in Austria?
Yes, but during peak season, this leads to long queues. We recommend purchasing digitally in advance, which allows you to use the unattended lane.
