Cattwg Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have seen reference on other sites to the introduction, this year, of tolls on German autobahns. So far I have been unable to find a website that categorically confirms or denies this. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the situation please?

Robinhood Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This question has been asked before in relation to the existing HGV toll on the Autobahn. This does not apply to motorhomes, even those above 3.5t. However, I suspect you are referring to the debate that is going on following conditions set out by Angela Merkel's coalition partners, before agreeing to form a government. There was a proposal to apply a tax for all "PKW" (car - but would also mean motorhome) use on Autobahns by foreign vehicles. This was under scrutiny by the EU, but last I heard the German authorities though they could find way round it (even if it meant reducing taxes for residents). The conjecture was that this would be in the region of €100 for an annual vignette solution. AFAIK, there is no proposal as yet finalised (though I suspect the idea now "has legs" and it will make visiting or traversing Germany much less attractive).

Thank you for the replies to my post. Yes, you are right, it's the Angela Merkel debate that I am referring to. As far as I can tell no universal toll has yet been introduced.
