Tariffs and Tolls
Just like on the rest of the network, tolls in the Free Flow toll collection system are equivalent to the ratio between the unit rates per kilometre (approved by an Interministerial Decree) and the section under consideration, increased by a supplementary fee (the so-called additional fee) to be paid to ANAS pursuant to Article 19, paragraph 9 bis of Law Decree 78/2009 converted with amendments by Law 102/2009 and Article 15, paragraph 4 of Law Decree 78/2010 converted with amendments by Law 122/2010. VAT at the current rate is added to this amount, without any final rounding. Unit rates are commensurate with the characteristics of the infrastructure and the type of vehicle used according to its volumetric dimensions.
Unit rates are periodically updated according to the formula established in the existing concession agreement between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Autovia Padana concessionaire. The annual increase in unit rates applies to all tolled motorway sections operated by Autovia Padana.

Light-duty: motorbikes and motor vehicles.
CLASS 2
Heavy-duty: motor vehicles with trailers, minivans.
CLASS 3
