Travel Information Disclaimer
ostolic.info provides travel tips and information with a focus on Austria’s roadways, including details about the Österreich autobahn system. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date content, please be aware of the following important information concerning road travel within Austria:
- The Österreich Vignette is a mandatory toll sticker required for most motorways and expressways in Austria. It must be visibly displayed on your vehicle when using these roads. Failure to have a valid vignette typically results in a substantial fine.
- Vignette costs vary depending on the validity period (e.g., 10 days, 2 months, or annual), and prices may be subject to change.
- Vignettes can be purchased at border crossings, gas stations, post offices, and online from authorized sellers. Ensure you buy an authentic vignette suitable for your vehicle.
- In addition to the standard vignette, certain routes such as tunnels, bridges, and alpine roads may require additional toll payments.
- Travelers are encouraged to stay informed about current regulations and toll requirements to avoid penalties.
- Always adhere to traffic laws and drive cautiously, especially in mountainous regions where weather conditions can change rapidly.
Your use of our travel information is at your own risk. ostolic.info disclaims any liability for inaccuracies or damages resulting from reliance on the provided content.
