Telepass

Telepass consists of an On-Board Unit (OBU) mounted at the top of the vehicle's windscreen.

Toll in the open system consists of a flat fee charged for the use of a motorway or a part thereof, regardless of the distance travelled.

No bank or credit card accounts are required, and Telepass Ricaricabile is therefore of special interest to foreign visitors.

In all these cases, the barrier remains closed, and the user must signal the toll station supervisor by pressing the red Help (Assistenza) button.

The vehicle is subsequently identified by its number plate, and the owner is sent a bill for the toll which could not be collected automatically.

In case no electronic toll lanes are available when entering the motorway, the user is issued an entry ticket and must insert that ticket upon exiting the motorway through a multimode lane capable of handling Telepass and ViaCard (porta bimodale or porta multimodale).

Toll can be paid at any motorway customer service centre (Punto blu) or by bank transfer.

If a user loses the entry ticket prior to exiting the motorway, the toll assessed will be calculated from the most distant motorway access road accessible via the same route unless the user can prove by documentary evidence (hotel invoices, petrol receipts etc.)
