Tolls, parking and city coach fees

Road tolls, parking and city access permits are charged on top of the day rate in most countries. These are the rules that change the price most.

• France: Setting down or picking up a group in Paris is free; a coach that parks or waits must hold a paid PASS Autocar and use the designated coach bays.
• Italy: Most Italian tourist cities, including Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Verona and Naples, charge tourist coaches to enter their limited-traffic zones (ZTL), usually paid online in advance; coaches stop only at set drop-off points.
• Germany: Coaches are exempt from the German truck toll (Lkw-Maut), so motorway travel adds no toll.
• Switzerland: Coaches over 3.5 t pay a lump-sum heavy-vehicle charge (PSVA); foreign coaches buy it for the days they spend in Switzerland, in the Via app or at a staffed border crossing.
• Spain: Barcelona requires tourist coaches to book stops and parking through Zona Bus.
• Netherlands: Coaches over 7.5 tonnes may not drive inside Amsterdam's S100 centre ring, apart from one through corridor; groups board and alight at coach stops on the edge of the centre.
• Austria: Motorways charge coaches a per-kilometre GO-Maut toll by number of axles.
• Czech Republic: Coach charters are commonly priced per kilometre; the empty run from the depot may be charged.
• Portugal: Tourist coaches are banned around Lisbon Cathedral and São Jorge Castle and in parts of the historic centre.
• Belgium: Coaches are exempt from Belgium's kilometre charge for trucks.
• Poland: Coaches over 3.5 tonnes pay the e-TOLL distance charge on motorways and expressways.
• Hungary: Coaches pay the HU-GO distance toll on motorways and main roads.
• Greece: Acropolis visits run on timed entry, so coach arrivals are planned around the ticket slot.
• Croatia: Coaches entering Dubrovnik's Old Town traffic zone must be registered in advance.
• Denmark: The Øresund Bridge to Malmö is tolled for coaches on every crossing; operators with a business contract can buy a 12-hour return, which suits same-day trips to Malmö and Lund.
• Sweden: On multi-day trips the driver's hotel and meal allowance are added to the price.
• Norway: Tolls (AutoPASS) and ferries on fjord routes are added to the trip.
• Finland: Finland charges no road tolls for coaches; VAT on coach hire (13.5%) is shown as a separate line.
• Iceland: Iceland prices are estimates: coach operators quote each trip individually, so the final price comes with that quote.
• Estonia: Estonia prices are market estimates; the final price is set with a local coach company after the availability check.
• Latvia: Coaches need a Latvian e-vignette for the road network; it is added to the estimate.
• Lithuania: Coaches need a Lithuanian e-vignette; it is added to the estimate.
• Luxembourg: Luxembourg charges no road tolls for coaches.
• Malta: Malta is small: most coach days use far fewer kilometres than the daily allowance.
• Slovakia: Coaches pay Slovakia's electronic toll (eMýto) on motorways and some main roads; it is added to the estimate.
• Slovenia: Coaches pay a distance-based motorway toll (DarsGo); it is added to the estimate.
• Romania: Coaches over 23 seats need a Romanian road vignette (rovinieta, category H); bridge tolls are extra.
• Bulgaria: Bulgaria uses the euro; prices are shown in EUR.
