Tolls and payments
The toll is the price paid for the service used by the customer, in proportion to the length of the journey, the type of vehicle used and the characteristics of the infrastructure (lowland or mountain motorway). Lowland motorway rates are applied to the stretch of motorway managed by the Company. The toll is calculated by multiplying the unit rate by the number of kilometres covered. The result is then rounded in compliance with (Italian) Decree Law dated 12/11/2001 (G.U. Official Journal 299, 27/12/2001). The rates charged by the various motorway concessionaires are subject to the prior approval of the Granting Authority (Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport). They are updated annually based on the “price-cap” system which adjusts prices according to the planned annual inflation rate, reduced by improvements to company productivity and corrected based on variations to the quality of service on offer.

The Electronic Toll service is a telematic payment system that allows travelers to pay tolls thanks to a dedicated device that, from inside their cars, dialogues directly with the equipment placed at highway entrance and exit gates.
In addition to optimizing flows by avoiding queues and saving time at the toll booth, it has several advantages in terms of environmental benefits.
To date, the accredited electronic toll service providers in Italy are:
- Telepass;
- UnipolMove;
- Axxes;
- Tolltickets.
FAST PAY is the automatic deferred payment system for freeway tolls, created in collaboration with SSB (Società per i Servizi Bancari S.p.A.) and based on the use of normal magnetic stripe bank debit cards (Bancomat type) appropriately enabled by the issuing banks.
If you are a Bancomat card holder, check with your bank that the card is enabled for Fast Pay and you will be able to pay the toll directly with it without any extra charge.
Fast Pay can be used at all self-service doors and cards on the national highway network and at doors marked with the Fast Pay logo.
It is used by inserting the ticket collected at the entry station first and then the badge (with the magnetic stripe in the lower right corner) into the special equipment at the self-service automatic doors without having to enter the personal identification code (PIN).
The spending/toll limit is Euro 61.97 per single trip.
The amount of tolls validated with the ATM card in the Fast Pay doors will be debited from your bank account once a month, with weighted average currency and without any additional fees.
Thanks to an agreement with Bank Americard (Deutsche Bank S.p.A.), highway tolls can also be paid without any surcharge with CREDIT CARDS belonging to the Visa, Eurocard/Mastercard and American Express circuits.
Cards belonging to the Diners, Maestro and Carta Aura circuits are also accepted.
WHERE TO USE THEM
Credit cards can be used for deferred toll payment at all Viacard self-service gates marked with credit card symbols and at all manual gates.
The CURRENT ACCOUNT VIACARD is a magnetic toll payment card linked to one's bank account, with no expiration date or spending limit. The Viacard card allows you to join the telepass service. It is a card dedicated especially to companies and economic operators.
Toll invoices are available for all types of payment:
- Those signed up to the Telepass and Current Account Viacard services receive a regular invoice directly to their home address;
- Holders of prepaid cards receive an invoice as soon as they buy the card at any Service Centre or “Punto Blu” Telepass service centre throughout the motorway network;
- For payments in cash or via Fast Pay or credit card, invoices are available upon request by sending all payment receipts received from the tollbooths to the motorway management company. Receipts must be sent together with the toll invoice request form, filled out in full.
- Similarly, invoice requests can be made for tolls paid for exceptional transport to settle outstanding payments using post office current accounts.
With regard to the Brescia-Verona-Vicenza-Padova motorway, invoice request forms are available from both our tollbooths and our Service Centres.
An online payment service is available.
We inform travelers that the service is temporarily unavailable for smartphones, mobile phones or tablets, and it is only available from computers. We are working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
If you can't pay the toll using one of the payment methods available, then the motorway management company will issue a missing payment statement, formalising the fact that the toll hasn’t been duly collected.
The customer must pay the amount due as soon as possible.
If the toll is paid within 15 days from the missing payment statement being issued, then the customer will not be charged any additional fee.
Otherwise, if the toll is not paid within 15 days from the missing payment statement being issued, then Euro 2.58 will be charged for collection costs.
The missing payment can be settled at one of our tollbooths or Service Centres, or at a post office (only in Italy), by paying the money into post office account no. 1008204941 held by AUTOSTRADA BRESCIA VERONA VICENZA PADOVA
S.p.A. (registered office), indicating the vehicle number plate and the missing payment reference number in the description on the paying-in slip. Please be aware that missing payments can only be settled at the offices of the Brescia-Padova motorway if they refer to an exit barrier on this stretch of motorway.
It is also possible to pay via bank transfer to the following account:
BANCO BPM S.p.A.
IBAN: IT92 L 05034 11710 000000025252 BIC SWIFT: BAPPIT21010
If the customer still hasn't received a payment reminder from the Legal Credit Management Service, they can contact the Customer Service department to swiftly settle the dispute.
As provided for by the Italian Highway Code, please be reminded that if a customer does not have a ticket, they can prove where they actually came from by providing appropriate written proof, in place of the ticket that may be found afterwards (toll receipt from the previous journey; a declaration from their company stating their presence at work; invoices; waybills; sales receipts; receipts from hotels, restaurants, etc.), or a declaration signed by a third party, attaching a photocopy of the identity document of the person making the declaration.
If the customer does not pay the amount due, a debt collection procedure is activated, which involves a payment reminder, a subsequent invitation to pay, an injunction and then distraint.
Ultimately, the customer will be reported for fraudulent insolvency.
