Poland is actively repairing and developing transportation routes in the country. And to compensate for the costs and maintenance, some roads are subject to tolls. Currently, out of more than 2000 km of high-speed highways and autobahns, toll roads account for a small percentage, but drivers should definitely know where these sections are located and how to pay for the toll.

What are the signs of toll roads in Poland?

Tolls are provided for on highways, but not all of them. Currently, toll roads are located on the A1, A2, A4 highways. The beginning of a toll road is marked with a special sign.

How do I pay for a toll road in Poland and how much does it cost?

Tolls are paid at special checkpoints at the entrance or exit of the toll road section. It can be either an automated payment system or special "cash desks" with employees. In addition, you can pay for the toll using your own smartphone, for example, through the Autopay (iOS / Android), mPay (iOS / Android) application, etc. 

Upon entering a toll road, the driver will receive a special ticket, which must be kept until the end of the trip, because if it is lost, the full fare will be paid, regardless of the actual mileage.

Please note! To travel on the sections maintained by the state (GDDKiA), you need to have an electronic ticket - e-Toll Pl Bilet. This applies to all types of vehicles. You can buy it here. At the same time, the Polish authorities are negotiating with private companies to introduce electronic tickets on all toll roads in the country.

The price of travel can vary from 0.10 to 0.56 zlotys per kilometer. However, the final cost of traveling on these sections will depend on the distance you have traveled and the type of vehicle you are using. On some roads, there are tolls only for trucks.

A4 highway (Kraków - Katowice)

The 61 km long toll road section is divided into several parts, as there are five intermediate junctions on the road. The toll is paid via e-Toll Pl Bilet or apps, or you can also pay at the gate, but keep in mind that in this case the payment will be made in two installments (upon entry and then upon exit).

Please note! To travel freely in Poland and 48 other countries by car, the driver must have a Green Card insurance policy. The absence or delay of insurance is fraught not only with fines that are several dozen times higher than the cost of the insurance policy for a year, but also with the seizure of the car and deportation from the country with a subsequent ban on entry. You can take out insurance for the required period on our website. Read more about the amount of fines in Europe for not having a Green Card here.

Do not neglect your own safety and finances and apply for a Green Card at an affordable price in just a few minutes.

We remind you! Ignorance of the traffic rules of Poland can lead to serious consequences for the Ukrainian wallet. In some cases, it can even lead to the deprivation of a driver's license. Read our previous article to find out why you can be deprived of your driving license in Poland.
