Stress-free through Italy: pay the toll automatically with the right Toll Box for your journey
In France, the toll is based on the actual height (without superstructures) and actual weight of the vehicle at the toll station.
For motorhomes, a height of 3 metres and a weight of 3.5 tonnes are decisive. If both values are exceeded, a Toll Box is required for large and heavy vehicles, according to the toll operator.
In practice, however, there is a certain tolerance: you only need the ‘Large Toll Box’ if you weigh more than 4.5 tonnes and/or are over 3.05 metres high.
Examples:
4.5 tonnes and 2.95 metres -> ‘Small Toll Box’ works
4.6 tonnes and 2.95 metres -> ‘Large Toll Box’ works
4.2 tonnes and 3.05 metres -> ‘Small Toll Box’ works
4.2 tonnes and 3.06 metres -> ‘Large Toll Box’ works
Measured is:
Pure vehicle height, superstructures do not count.
Actual weight while travelling, not permissible total weight.
More than 2 axles:
Vehicles with at least 3 axles always require the ‘Large Toll Box’, regardless of height and weight. A tandem axle is measured as one axle in France.
(For the ‘Large Toll Box’, the data from the vehicle licence must be provided for Austria).
Trailer included? - Not relevant for the selection of the Toll Box.
These examples are recommendations without guarantee, as categorisation takes place automatically at the toll station. Please check your vehicle documents to determine the appropriate Toll Box. Many newer motorhomes and campers remain under 3 metres.
The Toll Box is already activated on receipt and ready for immediate use. Installing our Toll Box is simple and straightforward. This is how you proceed:
Find the right place for the Toll Box on your windscreen.
Clean the corresponding spot on the windscreen.
Press the holder with the adhesive spot onto the windscreen.
Important notes on installation
If you have a coated windscreen, it is essential to fit the Toll Box in the uncoated recess (see vehicle manual). This is usually marked by a dotted area. For motorhomes with an alcove and without a coated/heated windscreen, we recommend attaching it to the centre of the windscreen approx. 15 cm above the dashboard.
The Toll Box from maut1.de can of course also be used with a motorbike. We recommend stowing the Toll Box (protected from rain and cold) in a tank bag on the motorbike so that it is facing forwards in the direction of travel.
Only our ‘Small Toll Box Standard’ can be collected at the pick-up stations. The ‘Small Toll Box Premium’ automatically has express delivery.

Flat fee per toll station. Without a Toll Box, you must queue on site and pay manually.

The Toll Box, also called Telepass, allows you to use the Telepass lanes at the toll station. This means you can simply drive through without stopping. The Telepass registers each passage and automatically forwards the calculation to maut1.de. Once a month, we debit the toll fees from your stored payment method, and you don't have to worry about anything.
There is no difference. Telepass is just a specific term for a type of Toll Box.
In Italy, different traffic rules apply than in Germany. To ensure you can enjoy your vacation without worries, we have compiled the most important information on traffic rules, fines, and penalties in Italy for you.
Tolls are payable on almost all Italian highways, except for the A2 in the south of Italy from Salerno to Reggio di Calabria (still known as A3 until the end of 2016), which is not subject to tolls. In Sicily, only the A20 between Messina and Palermo and the A18 from Messina to Catania are separately subject to charges.
If the highway toll in Italy is not paid in time, the outstanding toll charge will first be claimed by the Italian debt collection agency Nivi SpA and later by a German debt collection company (including additional processing fees), which can still occur up to 10 years after the toll fee has been incurred.
In Italy, there are so-called "Zona Traffico Limitato (ZTL)" in several major cities (currently e.g. Arezzo, Bologna, Bolzano, Florence, Genoa, Milan, Palermo, Pisa, Rome, Trieste, Turin, Venice, or Verona).
This means a restricted traffic zone, into which only vehicles with a special permit may enter. A general or time-restricted driving ban applies.
Further information is available e.g. for Milan, Bologna and Palermo.
You can pay the toll either in cash, by credit card, or with a toll box (Telepass system). At many stations, there are automatic checkouts and separate lanes for Telepass users.
Toll roads are generally well signposted in Italy. You can recognize them by the green highway sign with the notice "Autostrada" as well as by the signage at the toll stations.
You can use your toll box for as short or as long as you like. If you no longer need the toll box, simply return it (please with tracking) to the following address:
maut1 GmbH
Anton-Jakob-Str. 5
83026 Rosenheim
We will only charge the fees incurred up to that point.
If you keep the toll box for longer than one year, the contract will automatically be extended by another year. The monthly rental fee for the toll box Premium or the annual rental fee for the toll box Standard covers the provision of the toll box, but not the individual toll charges. The toll fees incurred when passing toll stations are separate costs and will be charged additionally.
You do not need to do anything else. We will charge all toll fees incurred during your trip using your selected payment method.
