Your route’s tolls
From your town to anywhere in Europe: the tolls, stickers, bridges and ferries on the real road, with their sources. No sign-in.
France is the dearest per kilometre (≈ €11 per 100 km for a car). 11 countries' motorways are free for a car — 5 of them with tolled bridges, tunnels or city charges (*) — Spain and Poland are mostly free with a few tolled stretches, and 8 sell a sticker for a period instead.[1]
* Free motorways, with these tolls: Belgium — Liefkenshoek tunnel; Denmark — Great Belt bridge, Øresund bridge; Netherlands — Westerschelde tunnel; Sweden — Øresund bridge, Stockholm congestion tax, Gothenburg congestion tax, Sundsvall bridge, Motala bridge; United Kingdom — Dartford Crossing, M6 Toll, London Congestion Charge. Norway charges at automatic toll stations across the country.[2]
The map shows the typical cost per 100 km on tolled stretches. In the partly tolled countries most motorways are free, and Austria's vignette comes with section tolls on six tunnels and motorways on top.
Per-km countries show the typical rate we hold per country; exact rates differ by road (see the full data). Vignette countries show the shortest pass on sale.

Two bridges cost more than all of France
Øresund €139
Great Belt €86
France €121
Spain €0 · Stockholm congestion tax €2.68
Driving Helsinki to Costa del Sol by motorhome (4,555 km, planned 11 Oct 2026), the Øresund and Great Belt bridges cost €225 together. Every French motorway toll on the same route came to €121, and Spain's toll-free autovías added nothing.[3,4,5]
The Alps are priced by the hole you choose
carmotorhome ≤ 3.5 t
Gotthardno toll beyond the Swiss vignette
Mont Blanc costs a car €56.40 one way; the Gotthard costs nothing beyond the Swiss vignette. The Brenner is €12.50 on top of Austria's vignette.[6,7,8,9]
Where you fill the tank matters more than most tolls
petroldiesel60 litres, cheapest petrol first
A 60-litre fill of petrol costs €65 more in Denmark than in Poland — more than the Brenner, Austria's 10-day vignette and the Great Belt bridge together (€57).[10]
† Sweden: diesel currently costs well over petrol at the pump; national averages on 11 Oct 2026 were 18.83 kr (95) and 22.88 kr (diesel) per litre (bensinpriser.nu).

Three more things
- The Westerschelde tunnel is free for cars but €18.20 for anything over 3 m high, roof boxes included — so most campers still pay.[11]
- Austria's 10-day vignette costs €3.20 more than its 1-day pass (€9.60 vs €12.80); Switzerland sells only a 14-month one (CHF 40, ≈ €43), even for a two-hour transit.[12,13]
- Spain freed the AP-4 and AP-2 in 2020–21 and Portugal its former shadow-toll motorways (A22, A23, A24, A25 and A28) on 1 January 2025, so older cost guides overcharge these routes.[14]

Notes, caveats and sources (21)
- Prices are for a single trip in the cheapest public class for a car or a motorhome up to 3.5 t (6–10 m where the class goes by length). Tags and subscriptions are cheaper.
- Prices in DKK and CHF are converted at the European Central Bank rate in the sources; the booth charges the local currency.
- Route figures are what one planned route passed on the date shown; another day or route differs.
- Where we don't hold a tariff we say so: North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania are not priced, and Serbia's figure is a typical rate, not its published tariff. Poland charges cars only on three concession motorways.
- The Great Belt motorhome bands come from one secondary source; the operator's own page renders its table in a way we couldn't read.
- Sweden: diesel currently costs well over petrol at the pump; national averages on 11 Oct 2026 were 18.83 kr (95) and 22.88 kr (diesel) per litre (bensinpriser.nu).
- Per-country typical motorway rates, vignettes and free networks: the tariffs we hold per country (see the full data and tariffs.csv). Borders: Natural Earth.
- Norway's toll stations: NVDB toll stations (Statens vegvesen, NLOD); the other tolls: the crossings and city charges we hold.
- A planned route Helsinki → Costa del Sol, motorhome, 2 people, planned 11 Oct 2026: the bridges at the operators' published prices, French tolls from the operators' station tariffs.
