Well, first of all, let’s talk about Italian roads: most of them are EXCELLENT, some a little less, but all very safe and well signposted. Most of them also have shoulders and, the most important, have service stations. Of course, in some small towns it is super common to find narrow and winding roads, but you will hardly find a road in poor condition. Now stay tuned here in this Post and learn how tolls work in Italy? Important: Read our section on Driving in Italy<\/strong> <\/a>and learn all about fines, traffic signs and more! Also visit our Food Section in Italy!<\/strong><\/a> Here at\u00a0Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia<\/b><\/a>\u00a0you make the trip of your dreams!!!\u00a0ALSO: see our\u00a0\u201cAccommodation in Italy \u2013 Tips for your holidays!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\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! Read our Special Post about PID, Do I need an International driver\u2019s license to drive in Italy?<\/strong> <\/a>and understand what ZTL\u00b4s are, Limited Traffic Zones!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n What are the types of toll in Italy? Well, there are two types of toll:<\/p>\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 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 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 How much is it? It varies! On the Autostrade website it is possible to calculate the toll amount. Just click here and, on the left, fill in the place of departure (partenza)<\/strong> <\/a>and the destination (arrivo). It is also possible to see the map of where the tolls are.<\/p>\n Some roads may have sections closed for various reasons, such as works, but don’t worry, as this will be properly signposted at the entrance to the road, O.K.?!3) How do tolls work in Italy? PAYMENT<\/p>\n IN CASE OF LOSS OF TICKET, WHAT SHOULD I DO? I<\/strong>t may happen, but there is no reason to panic! If you lose the ticket, when you arrive at the next ticket window, immediately report it to the attendant (say \u2018ho perso il biglietto\u2019 – I lost the ticket). One out of two: if the toll is charged for a specific segment, you will be charged the value of the further city, even if you have never been there (yes! it will be a bit expensive! So avoid this situation and keep your ticket VERY well!).<\/p>\n If it is the toll charged per kilometer traveled, you will be asked about which city you entered on the road and the calculation will be made immediately<\/strong>, giving you the total amount. A tip: don’t lie! Everything is monitored by cameras and, through the license plate, it is possible to confirm the information you are giving.<\/p>\n I HAVE NO MONEY, NO CARD AND I HAVE TAKEN A TOLL STRETCH: WHAT DO I DO?<\/strong> First of all: stay calm! Not the end of the world! If this happens, simply request the \u2018scontrino di mancato payment\u2019, which is like a note that indicates that you didn\u2019t pay the toll on the spot. In the \u2018scontrino\u2019 will be the following information: the license plate, the section (or kilometers) traveled and the amount to be paid. With the ‘scontrino’ in hand, you have up to 15 days to pay.<\/p>\n You can pay it at the Italian post office (<\/strong>Le Poste Italiane, to find one near where you are in Italy, access the Official Site by clicking here<\/strong><\/a> and enter the CAP, which is nothing more than the Zip code, and go to the nearest branch!), in the \u2018Punto Blu\u2019,<\/strong> which are spread over the service stations and which are distributed along the roads (to check where there is a \u2018Punto Blu\u2019, click here!)<\/strong><\/a>; at points where the SisalPay system is available (stalls, tabbachinos, bars) and it is even possible to pay online (just click here).<\/strong> <\/a>After 15 days there is a fine to be calculated on the amount of the \u2018scontrino\u2019.<\/p>\n THE MESSAGE IS: DO NOT GO INTO THE TELEPASS !!!! IT CAN GET YOU A FINE OF MORE THAN 100 EUROS<\/strong> !!!! But if you entered we will leave here an option for you to try to get out of this.<\/p>\n I WENT BY ACCIDENT INTO THE TELEPASS WINDOW TICKET: WHAT DO I DO?<\/strong> Press the red button and ask for help! Probably, the \u201cscontrino\u201d of \u201cmancato pagamento\u201d will be issued and, after that, go ahead! If you \u2018pass straight\u2019 (not all ticket windows have a gate), when you find the next toll, report the \u2018mistake\u2019 to the attendant. Don\u2019t try to \u2018play the smart guy\u2019: your \u2018mistake\u2019 will appear to the operator (all entrances and exits are controlled by cameras) at the next window.<\/p>\n NEVER, NEVER, IN ANY HYPOTHESIS REVERSE IN THE TOLL PLAZAS<\/strong>! IT’S SUPER DANGEROUS AND IT MAY GET YOU A REALLY PRICEY FINE!<\/p>\n How do tolls work in Italy?<\/strong> Italian tolls do not hide big secrets!
