The amount of the toll charges depends on the total technically permissible maximum weight of the motor vehicle, its ecological category and the number of axles as well as the type of the road – motorways, first-class or second-class roads.
The registering and the payment of the kilometers travelled may be done in two ways – by means of a contract with the company – a national service provider or through a route card.
