Tauern section toll

Tauern digital section toll: buy e-vignette for Tauern motorway section online

The A10 Tauern motorway section is a toll route. Together with the Brenner Pass, the Tauern motorway is one of the most important connections across the Alps to Italy. The toll section consists of two tunnels: Tauern and Katschberg Tunnel.

The Tauern section toll (Tauern and Katschberg Tunnel) is 13.50 EUR (prices 2023).

In front of the toll station there are often long queues because many are still paying the section toll with cash or card. If you would like to avoid the traffic jam at the Tauern toll station on your journey to Italy, then I recommend you to buy the digital section toll for the Tauern online.

The digital section toll was formerly also known as video toll. Your number plate will be registered and you can drive through the toll station in the reserved lane "digital section toll". I have tested it myself - here you can find my experience report: this is how the video toll works for the Tauern motorway section.

Reserved lane at the Tauern toll station

If you have already purchased the digital section toll, you can use the reserved green lane. This is usually on the left side of the toll station and is marked with a sign “digital section toll” or “video toll”.

You can theoretically use also any other lane, but there might be some queue if the vehicles in front of you are paying with cash or card at the toll station, which needs more time. For this reason, I prefer the faster video toll lane.

Attention: You are not allowed to use the "GO Lane", this is reserved for vehicles over 3.5 tons with the corresponding GO toll box. This truck lane is usually on the right side of the toll station. Stay away from it.

License plate control and barriers

The maximum speed is 15 km/h so that the number plate can be read by a scanner. As soon as the system recognizes your number plate and has verified your authorization, the traffic light turns green and the barrier opens automatically.

You can drive through without waiting and get to your destination faster!
