GO toll for buses
GO toll in 3 steps
With a bus over 3.5 t maximum technically permissible laden mass you pay the GO toll on motorways and expressways in Austria.
For a minibus or van weighing less than 3.5 tonnes maximum technically permissible laden mass, you need a vignette or section toll card.
On 1 January 2025 a separate GO toll rate will be introduced for buses.

Register your bus for the GO toll system
You can get a GO-Box for a processing fee of EUR 12. There are different ways to get a GO-Box:
GO points of sale
You can collect the GO-Box from any of our GO points of sale in Austria and abroad.
Online in the SelfCare portal
You can order an additional GO-Box in the SelfCare portal. The prerequisite is that you already have an on-board unit registered with the GO toll system. You will receive a pickup code. With this code, you can collect the GO-Box at any GO point of sale.

GO Direkt
GO Direkt customers have the option of having the GO-Box sent to them within the European Union. For packaging and shipping of the GO‑Box, an additional flat‑rate shipping charge of €14.90 per GO‑Box is payable. You can also collect the GO-Box with a pick-up code at a GO point of sale.
Correct installation of the GO-Box is crucial to paying your toll properly.
An incorrectly fitted GO-Box will not communicate or will not communicate properly with our toll gantries. Signal tones inform you when passing through the toll gantries whether the toll transaction has worked. Always pay attention to the signal tones and pay tolls retroactively if necessary.
In Austria, motor vehicles are subject to strict regulations on pollutant emissions and noise pollution. These are based on EU directives.
Harmful exhaust emissions and noise pollution will affect your toll rate. For this reason, you must provide us with evidence of certain rate-relevant characteristics of your vehicle. The rate characteristics that are subject to verification are only stored at the GO point of sale, but not checked.
You must provide evidence of rate-relevant characteristics within 30 days of registering for the GO toll system. If you miss this deadline, you must pay a substitute toll. You can also send us the evidence before you register for the GO toll system.
There are currently no CO₂ reference values for buses, motorhomes and some heavy commercial vehicles. They are, therefore, provisionally assigned to CO₂ emission class 1. Exception: zero-emission vehicles are assigned to CO₂ emission class 5.
Basic category and number of axles
Specify the vehicle type bus. The basic category (minimum number of vehicle axles) is set at your GO-Box.
However, note that the number of axles can be adjusted on your GO-Box. With busses, the axles of the trailer are still not taken into account.
Make absolutely sure before, during and at the end of every trip that you have set the correct number of axles!
Example: You drive a coach with 3 axles. Have the basic category 3 stored on the GO-Box. If you are towing a bicycle trailer, you do not need to change the category.
Play it safe:
- Check the data on the customer receipts you received at the GO point of sale.
- Have incorrect data corrected on site!
- Always carry the vehicle declaration in the vehicle!
You can download the current vehicle declaration at any time in the SelfCare portal or via the following query after identifying yourself by means of the personal identification number (PAN) and vehicle on-board unit identification number (OBU ID). You can also obtain the latest vehicle declaration from the GO point of sale.
Checking / returning the GO-Box
Before, during and after your journey, make sure that the GO-Box is working.
Press the service button before and after your journey and watch the indicator light.
Pay particular attention to the signals from the GO-Box during your trip.
The GO-Box is a loan device. You pay a EUR 12 processing fee when you pick it up.
If you no longer need your GO-Box, please return it to us.
