Tolls, bans and documents
Tyrol restrictions
Tyrol bans most trucks on the Brenner route at night (22:00–05:00), applies Saturday and holiday restrictions, and uses block dispatch (Blockabfertigung) at Kufstein on busy days, which holds trucks in queues.
Tolls
Italian motorways and the Austrian motorways (GO-Box for vehicles over 3.5 t) are tolled. Germany charges a distance-based truck toll (LKW-Maut) on motorways and federal roads for vehicles over 3.5 t, with a CO₂ component.
Driving bans
Italy bans trucks over 7.5 t on Sundays and public holidays, with extra summer days. Germany bans trucks over 7.5 t on Sundays and public holidays from 00:00 to 22:00, and on many motorways on Saturdays in July and August from 07:00 to 20:00.
Tips for carriers
- Check Tyrol’s block-dispatch calendar before planning a Monday-morning crossing.
- Search Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg for return loads to northern Italy.
