__TOC__
<div class="shadowCard">
Austria<ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria About Austria] </ref>, officially the Republic of Austria, is a landlocked East Alpine country in the southern part of Central Europe. You need to pay toll on all the Austrian motorways and expressways. 

There are no physical toll booths to collect tolls on most of the motorways and expressways. However, there are certain routes with physical toll plazas to collect tolls only for vehicles up to 3.5 tons. The vignette ‘toll sticker’<ref name="vignette">[https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/what-is-vignette What is Vignette]</ref> is not compulsory in the sections where the route toll applies. However, if you own a valid yearly toll sticker, you get a discount of 40 euros on your route toll annual pass.

Distance-based tolls<ref name="distance-based">[https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/what-is-distance-based-tolling What is Distance-based Tolling]</ref> apply for the HGV (heavy goods vehicle) with over 3.5 tons maximum permissible weight, which includes heavy camper vans, lorries, and buses.
