Vignettes and tolls in Austria

Motorway regulations in Austria

In Austria, certain motorway sections are toll-free and can be used without a vignette. This regulation primarily affects border areas to ensure easy access to nearby towns and regions.

Toll-free motorway sections in Austria (as of 2025):

Motorway	Section	Details
A12 Inntal Motorway	Kiefersfelden – Kufstein South	Tyrol: This section from the Kiefersfelden border to Kufstein South is toll-free.
A14 Rheintal Motorway	Border crossing – Hohenems/Diepoldsau	Vorarlberg: Toll-free travel from the border to Diepoldsau-Hohenems.
A1 Western Motorway	Salzburg North – Walserberg (border)	From Salzburg to Germany – no vignette required.
A7 Mühlkreis Motorway	Urfahr – Linz (Voest Bridge)	Short urban section – vignette not required.
A26 Linz Western Bypass (under construction/partially open)	Partially toll-free	Currently relevant for specific city areas only.

Notes:

Toll-free sections apply only to cars and motorcycles (not to vehicles over 3.5 t).
This applies to vignette requirements only, not to special toll routes (like Brenner, Tauern, etc.).
The exemption aims to prevent detours via secondary roads and ease traffic near city borders.
Beyond these zones, a valid vignette (digital or sticker) is mandatory.
