Road Tolls Poland | Driver’s Guide 2026

Heading to Poland? The road toll system there works a little differently than in the UK. There are no motorway vignettes in Poland. There are, however, toll gates, videotolling and e-TOLL – all of which may seem quite complicated at first. The most important thing is not to get lost on the A2. Fortunately, in this guide we explain everything step by step.

Road Tolls Poland | Map & Info

Most motorways and expressways in Poland are free of charge.

However, not all motorways are state-owned. Some key sections are operated under concession agreements, and it is precisely on these sections that you will usually pay a toll.

The main motorway concession operators in Poland are:

  • Autostrada Wielkopolska – A2 Świecko–Konin,
  • Gdańsk Transport Company / AmberOne – A1 Gdańsk–Toruń,
  • Stalexport Autostrada Małopolska – A4 Katowice–Kraków.

Road tolls in Poland apply to both cars and motorcycles on the tolled concession sections.

Vehicles with a maximum permissible weight of more than 3,5 tonnes, as well as buses, use the national e-TOLL system on the tolled road network managed by the state.

Poland’s national road network is maintained largely by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA).
