Apply for the Karawankentunnel Online

If you drive with foresight in Austria, you will reach your destination safely and quickly. This rule especially applies to drivers on Austrian toll roads and tunnels. The problem is that traffic jams and delays can occur at the country's toll booths. This is especially true on routes with tunnels.

If you want to travel fast, pay the toll for the Karawankentunnel toll online. The best part is that you can start driving immediately after receiving the toll vignette. Comprehensive information about the toll for the Karawankentunnel will be covered in the following article.

Registration

Before giving us the order to arrange the toll for the tunnel, you must first provide some important information. This allows registration to proceed properly and the barrier at the toll booth to open automatically later on.

The following data are required for applying for the Karawanken ‘videomaut’:

  • Vehicle registration number
  • Country of registration of the vehicle
  • Trip details (single trip)
  • E-mail address
  • Method of payment (MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, etc.)

Activation after giving us the order

We can apply for your toll ticket after the payment has been made. We will apply for your the toll ticket and make sure it is activated. As a driver, you will receive a confirmation by e-mail. The documents do not have to be shown at the toll booth because the inspection is carried out automatically. However, it is important to keep the QR code at hand in case the gate does not open automatically. That way you can scan the QR code to open the gate manually.

Make sure you are in the correct lane

If you are driving towards Slovenia at the toll station near St. Jakob and already have a vignette, you must make sure you get into the correct lane. There is a lane for drivers who have already paid for the vignette online.

The lane is for cars not weighing more than 3,5 tons. Different regulations apply to motorcycles, vehicles with trailers, or motor homes.

The regulations may differ when heading south to cross the border into Slovenia at the Slovenian toll station Hrušica, to drive north from the other side. There, the station is no longer operated by ASFINAG, but by the motorway company DARS.

No 18-day consumer protection period

No longer an 18-day consumer protection period

Previously, there was a so-called consumer protection period of 18 days. If you would have purchased the toll back in the day, the mentioned period of 18 days was accounted. Nowadays (luckily!) the ticket can be used right from the moment of purchase.

Single trip on the A11 Karawanken motorway

Compared to the other special toll routes in the country, a special feature applies to the A11 Karawanken motorway. Since the tunnel spans two countries, you can only obtain a single trip for the stretch from Villach.

Vignette for Austria is ALSO needed

Vignettes are compulsory on the Austrian motorways and expressways. So far, only the tolls that you must pay for driving through the country's tunnels have been mentioned. But keep in mind that there is also something like a regular vignette, which is (almost) always needed in Austria. If you want to buy a vignette for Austria in addition to the special toll, you can also reach out to us. We will help you to get the vignette so you can travel well prepared and without any concerns.
