What are the options for booking the toll?
The easiest way for you to participate in the toll collection system is automatic log-on. This is done by the On-Board Unit, the so-called “OBU”, which, to the greatest extent, books and calculates the toll for you. First you register your company and your vehicles with Toll Collect. Then you receive a vehicle card containing the most important data about your vehicle. With this card, you can schedule an appointment with an authorized Toll Collect Service Partner to install the On-Board Unit. The OBU determines the route travelled with the aid of GPS satellite signals and other positioning sensors, calculates the toll fees based on the vehicle data and tariff parameters that have been entered, and transmits this information to the Toll Collect computer centre by mobile telecommunications. The alternative to the automatic system is manual log-on. This is recommended mainly for truck drivers and freight companies that seldom use German motorways.
