The Austria–Italy corridor (often via the Brenner) is one of Europe’s busiest, and it stacks three separate charges. Here is the order.
Austria — vignette plus a section toll
Austria needs a digital vignette (for example a 10-day for transit) for its motorways. But the main alpine crossings — including the Brenner — carry a separate section toll on top of the vignette. Having the vignette does not cover the Brenner; that is paid separately.
Italy — barrier tolls
Italy mostly uses distance-based barrier tolls rather than a vignette. The simplest way to handle them is an EETS toll box that pays automatically at the gates — the same device also covers France, Spain, Portugal and Croatia if your trip continues.
The plan
Get an Austrian vignette for the motorway, budget for the Brenner section toll separately, and use a toll box for the Italian leg. Note that VignPass does not sell the Austrian vignette itself — see our Austria page for where to get it officially.
