15. Toll road
A toll road is a road, motorway, bridge, tunnel or other route for which users must pay a charge. The toll may apply to all vehicles or only to particular vehicle categories, and the amount can depend on factors such as distance travelled, vehicle type, weight or emissions.
Tolls may be collected at toll booths, electronically or through a vignette or distance-based charging system. Drivers should check the applicable payment rules before using a toll road, especially when travelling in another country.

Which road-charging system should I check in Poland?
Poland distinguishes e-TOLL for qualifying heavier vehicles and buses from concession motorway tolls. From 21 September 2026, a towing vehicle with a maximum authorised mass of no more than 3.5 tonnes is exempt from e-TOLL when towing a trailer, including where the combination exceeds 3.5 tonnes. This does not remove separate concession motorway charges.
What should I check before using a charged road in Poland?
Check the towing vehicle’s maximum authorised mass, the applicable vehicle category and the operator of the road section. From 21 September 2026, towing a trailer does not bring a vehicle of no more than 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass into e-TOLL merely because the combination exceeds that threshold. Concession motorway charges remain a separate check.
Does the absence of a toll booth prove that a road is free in Poland?
The absence of a payment booth is not proof that a charged road is free. A vignette, electronic account, vehicle-registration record or another payment procedure may be used where the actual scheme provides for it. Follow the responsible authority or operator’s instructions for that road.
