Toll rates

Current toll rates

The toll rates are set down in the German Federal Trunk Road Toll Act (BFStrMG). The total amount is based on the distance that a vehicle or a vehicle combination travels on a road subject to toll and a toll rate in cents per kilometre, which includes a share each for air pollution, noise pollution and infrastructure costs.

The proportion of the toll rate for the infrastructure costs depends on the axle and weight class.
The proportion of the toll rate for noise pollution is charged equally for all vehicles as a lump sum for all vehicles.
The proportion of the toll rate for air pollution caused is determined based on the emission class. Each vehicle is assigned according to its emission class to one of the six categories: A, B, C, D, E or F. The indication of the emission classes is the responsibility of the toll customers; the customers are obliged to provide all toll-relevant data correctly (principle of self-declaration).

Guide for determining emission classes

Current toll rates apply retroactively from 28 October 2020

Since 1 October 2021, new rates for the truck toll have been in force in Germany.

The toll rate proportion for infrastructure costs is being reduced retroactively as of 28 October 2020. On the other hand, the proportion for air pollution costs is increasing. In total, the toll rates per kilometre lower slightly depending on the emission class.

For journeys within the period from 28 October 2020 to 30 September 2021, tolls can be reimbursed on a pro rata basis upon application. The amount of the refund of the partial toll rate for infrastructure costs depends on the weight class. Applications for refunds can be made to the Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) from 3 November 2021 via an online platform on its website. By that time, transport and logistics companies are to have all invoicing documents required for the application. Claims may be made until the end of 2023.

Quickly determine your toll rate

Our toll calculator will guide you to your toll rate. First select your vehicle’s emission class using the green field. Then enter the appropriate axle and weight class. Done. You can also see all values in the table down the page.

* Particulate reduction classes (PRC) are retrofitting standards to lower particulate emissions. For category D, PRC 1 or higher is required; for category C, PRC 2 or higher is required.

** The tandem axle counts as two axles, the tridem axle counts as three axles. Lift and retractable axles are always taken into account, regardless of whether a vehicle axle is being used or is lifted during transportation, in other words has no road contact.

Please note

The road user subject to toll must prove the accuracy of all relevant data for toll collection when requested by the Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) by showing appropriate documents (Section 5 of the German Federal Trunk Road Toll Act (BFStrMG) in conjunction with Sections 6 and 2 of the German Truck Toll Regulations).

For domestic vehicles registered in Germany using standard EU vehicle documents, the emission class can be identified based on the text in section 14 or the key number for 14.1 (Section 7 German Truck Toll Regulations).

For vehicles registered outside of Germany, time-based presumptions apply if the emission class cannot be proven in another way, in particular with documents attesting the fulfilment of certain environmental requirements in ECMT transport (European Conference of Ministers of Transport), (Section 8 of the German Truck Toll Regulations).

The road user subject to toll is responsible for demonstrating and proving all data relevant for toll collection. Failure to provide proof will be penalised with a fine.
