Toll information

The motorway toll, in accordance with the tariff regulations introduced by

ART Resolutions no. 16 of 18/02/2019 and specifically for the A15 Section, Resolution no. 73 of 19/06/2019 and its Annex A, is determined by multiplying the kilometres of each journey by the Concessionaire’s applicable tariff, plus the surcharges and taxes provided for by current legislation. It is calculated by multiplying the journey kilometres — including the kilometres of interchanges, connecting ramps and open motorway sections before and after the toll station, built and managed by the Concessionaire — by the unit tariff (€/km), increased by the supplementary fee (so-called surcharge) payable to ANAS pursuant to Art. 19, paragraph 9-bis of Decree-Law 78/2009, converted with amendments by Law 102/2009, and Art. 15, paragraph 4 of Decree-Law 78/2010. The resulting amount, plus the applicable VAT, is subject to a single rounding to 10 Euro cents as regulated by Inter-Ministerial Decree no. 10440/28/133 of 12/11/2001 of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

The unit tariff is proportionate to the characteristics of the motorway sections (flatland or mountain) and to the vehicle classification (see Table), defined by axle-profile.

Unit tariffs are periodically updated according to the formula established in the Concession Agreement in force between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the concessionaire SALT. The annual increase of the unit tariff is applied without any discretion. The toll tariff increase for the current year for travel along the SALT-managed network is equal to 1.50%.

Below are the tariff increases over the last 5 years:

(* the tariff increase is due to the inflation index)

With Note no. 13976 of 27/07/2017, a tariff modulation was authorised for motorcycle users, providing a 30% toll reduction compared to the amount due by vehicles in the current reference class (Class A), extended on a yearly basis until 31/12/2025.

This modulation applies exclusively to users paying via electronic toll collection, and access is guaranteed both for customers of the national service provider Telepass and for customers of EETS (European Electronic Toll Service) providers participating in the initiative.

Motorway tolls are collected through a “closed” toll collection system.

A closed system refers to motorway sections where toll collection takes place at exit stations equipped with channelled lanes fitted with devices capable of detecting vehicles, correctly classifying them based on objective physical parameters, and calculating the distance travelled. The distance is determined by the vehicle passing through two detection points (entry and exit stations) of the infrastructure itself, connected to the motorway via interchanges and equipped with traffic channelling systems and barriers. At these stations, automatic detection and classification of passing vehicles takes place. The toll calculation performed at the exit station is based on a unit tariff, per kilometre and per vehicle class, as defined in the contract between the concessionaire and the granting authority.

Toll-exempt vehicles under the law

Pursuant to Art. 373 of Presidential Decree no. 495 of 16/12/1992, paragraph 2, and subsequent amendments, the following are exempt from toll payment:

When these conditions are met, volunteer associations may choose to process their transit via electronic toll collection device (a) or by other means (b).

(a) The entire process will be carried out through the dedicated web platform managed by Telepass and Autostrade per l’Italia, in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding on the matter between all Concessionaires.

The volunteer association, if it considers the transit to be exempt, must request cancellation from the issuing Concessionaire, declaring under its own responsibility that all the above requirements are met. Please note that a non-payment report will also be issued if the ambulance passes through the toll station without stopping.

As per Ordinance no. 876 of 13 March 2022 of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Department of Civil Protection, a toll exemption has been granted to Ukrainian citizens coming from Ukraine and any individuals coming from Ukraine who enter the national territory as a result of the ongoing events.

Upon exiting through the stations of our Company, preferably using manual toll lanes, a duly completed and signed self-declaration must be handed to the toll collector. The form, available in both Italian and English, can be downloaded by selecting the corresponding icons below.

At automatic toll lanes, monitored remotely by an operator, the User must collect the transit receipt and send it together with the self-declaration to the email address emergenzaucraina@SALT.it.

Tolls can be paid in cash exclusively at manual lanes staffed by a toll collector or at automatic payment machines. At manual lanes, the main foreign currencies are also accepted for payment, with any change given in euros.

For toll payment, it is possible to choose dynamic Electronic Toll Collection systems, or to use Viacard current account cards, accepted Credit Cards (whose logo is displayed on the machine) or Bancomat Debit Cards participating in the Fast-Pay network.

In addition to the national Electronic Toll Collection service provider, which will continue to operate, other Toll Collection Service Providers have been accredited to provide services related to the European Electronic Toll Service “EETS” and the Interoperable Toll Service “SIT”.

The Toll Collection Service Providers are listed below:

• AS24
• Axxès SAS
• DKV Euro Service GmbH

THE VIACARD CURRENT ACCOUNT CARD

It is a magnetic payment instrument — issued under a Viacard contract — and can only be issued by banking institutions authorised for this service.

During payment operations, some issues may arise that alter the normal toll collection procedure. If the problem occurs at a lane staffed by a toll collector, they will be able to suggest the best solution.

If instead the problem occurs at an Automatic/Electronic Toll Collection lane, it is recommended not to exit the vehicle and not to reverse out of the lane, but to press the “assistance request” button and communicate with the designated staff via intercom. Collect the receipt from the slot and read the front side. The letter ‘R’ shown under PAYMENT METHOD indicates that the toll has not been paid.

The toll can be settled within 15 days from the date of transit. Should payment be made after the specified deadline, the amount will be increased by € 2.58 for collection charges.

If transit occurs in an electronic toll collection lane, press the “assistance request” button. If you do not have an electronic toll collection device, on a subsequent transit you will need to visit SALT toll stations where an operator is present or the Service Centres of the Companies participating in the reciprocity agreement:

• Concessioni del Tirreno Section A12 and Section A10
• Autostrada dei Fiori A6 Turin-Savona

Should the non-payment report be issued for reasons not attributable to the User, no surcharge will be applied to the toll due.

Finally, please note that: “For a toll motorway User without an entry ticket, or who uses control systems improperly with respect to the ticket in their possession, the toll to be paid is calculated from the farthest entry station for their vehicle class. The User has the right to provide proof of the entry station.” (Article 176, paragraph 16 of the Highway Code).

In the event of failure to pay the amount indicated, the relevant documents may be forwarded to the Traffic Offences Office of the competent Traffic Police Division, for the consequent imposition of administrative penalties pursuant to Art. 176, paragraphs 11 and 21 of the Highway Code, for the ascertained violation of the obligation to pay the motorway toll (which provides for payment of a sum ranging from € 87.00 to € 344.00 and the deduction of 2 points from the driving licence of the actual offender).
