It's best to inform the car rental company about the toll fees in advance, otherwise there may be issues with insurance coverage.

Don't need to buy, I picked up the car in Salzburg last year, went through the lake district, and arrived at the Swan Castle. But when picking up the car, I have to inform the crossing of Germany.

No, the so-called transit fee is not a toll, it is mainly an insurance issue. There is no problem going to Germany, no transit fee is charged. When going to Eastern Europe, some car rental companies may think that there is a possibility of lack of safety in their own country, so you may need to fill in some forms when renting a car. Also, there is no toll on German highways.

It's really annoying to return the car in Salzburg. On the afternoon we arrived, we happened to meet an Austrian holiday, and everyone was off work early. Then we tried all kinds of ways to return the car by ourselves. The next day, we received an email saying that the left rear hub was damaged, so we rushed to the return point. They said the car had already been rented out. Yesterday, we received an email saying that we had to pay 320 euros in compensation. It's really not worth it! Fortunately, the insurance can be compensated, so be sure to buy insurance, otherwise you don't know what will happen ? Austria Q&A

Dear fellow car enthusiasts, I would like to ask for your advice. I have a 2-day trip to Switzerland and a 2-day trip to Austria. How should I purchase the highway tolls? Is it per day or per road? Should I buy them at the gas station convenience store before or after entry? What does the ticket look like? What if I need to enter and exit repeatedly? In addition, the rental car order does not have an additional driver. Is the insurance car, person, and trip-related? Do I need to buy insurance again when I pick up the car? Thank you in advance for the enlightenment of the senior ? Austria Q&A
