Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How are the roads so flawless? Tolls, darling! (Pedaggio in Italian). But in Italy, in some \u2018chunks\u2019, you pay per kilometer and others per stretch. Another \u2018detail\u2019: motorcycles pay the same amount as passenger cars. And a curiosity: in Sardinia there are no tolls!

1) How do tolls work in Italy? TYPES OF TOLLS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What are the types of toll in Italy? Well, there are two types of toll:<\/p>\n

First Type of Toll<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the first type of toll, you pay for a specific segment, that is, you pay a fixed price when you ‘enter’ the highway. They are ‘rare’, but there is this type of toll.<\/p>\n

Second Type of Toll<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The second type is the one you pay at the ‘exit’, that is: at the end of the section covered. At the chosen exit, the total number of kilometers driven from your entry point is calculated and you make the payment. Obviously in the first toll you will get the ticket at the entrance to the highway and in the second toll you will place the ticket in the machine that will automatically calculate the amount to be paid.<\/p>\n

How to get to know the type of toll?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is very simple: if at the ticket entrance you have the amount already calculated on the ticket at the time of printing, you are paying for the stretch.<\/strong> If the ticket issued has NO value on it (don’t be alarmed!), you will pay at your departure and you will be charged the amount per kilometer traveled.<\/p>\n
