stonehenge man Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Go via Charleroi, Luxembourg,Strasbourg, Milan. it will save on tolls, about 70 euros. If you go through France it will be treble that.I've done both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 You can find out the cost of all tolls and bridge costs throughout Europe by logging on to the AA website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondiane Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hello is there a lot more miles going this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 There are too many alternative routes to say: some will be shorter than the toll roads, depending on which toll road route you choose to compare against which non-toll road. As a general rule, however, unless both routes are of wildly unequal length (unlikely), whatever extra fuel you buy will not cost anything like as much as the tolls. What toll roads are really about is time. If you need to travel fast then you will have to use some motorway/dual carriageway type roads, and in France and Italy most of these are toll roads. You really need to get a planning tool to help you plan your routes and your daily travel durations. ViaMichelin is fine, but you can't "play" with it, and set differing via points as you go, and you can't re-route with it as/when necessary. Your best option will be a computer based routing tool, with European mapping, but I'd avoid Microsoft AutoRoute as it hasn't been updated for some time, and the most recent version is missing many roads in Eastern Europe despite the claim on the box.If you don't yet have a sat nav, have a look at the Garmin Zumo models, which should include a Garmin MapSource disk that gives you PC based routing and mapping - but check that the disk is there, because when I got a Nuvi, which was heralded as having the MapSource disk, Garmin had changed their minds and decided to omit it! )-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
