You must display the Vignette sticker on the inside of the windshield of your vehicle as you enter Austria .

For Motorbikes
On motorbikes , it must be affixed to a component that is difficult to remove (fork leg or tank) and clearly visible.
Failure to do so will mean a heavy, on-the-spot fine.

The GO-Box for vehicles Exceeding 3.5 t
Drivers of vehicles with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 3.5 t (e.g. heavy goods vehicles, buses, heavy mobile homes ) must pay a mileage-based toll for the use of motorways and expressways.
To be able to pay this toll, you need to get a so-called GO-Box before you drive onto a motorway or expressway. The toll can only be paid if you have a GO-Box, which is available from many petrol stations and other GO-Box partners in Austria. You can find a full list of outlets here .
The rates depend, among other things, on the number of axles, the number of kilometres driven, and the vehicle s EURO emission class.
