    Toll in Sweden 2023

    Swedish motorways are free for drivers of motorcycles, cars and other vehicles up to 12 tonnes. Only the passage of certain sections and the entrance to Stockholm and Gothenburg are charged.

    Vehicles weighing more than 12 tonnes pay tolls through the Eurovignette electronic system. The Eurovignette is valid for a limited period of time, similar to a vignette, i.e. one day, one week, one month or one year.

    Tolls in Stockholm and Gothenburg

    The congestion charge is levied on weekdays between 6:00 and 18:30. The amount of the toll varies depending on the time of day. The amount of the charge in Stockholm can be found at Transportstyrelsen.se. The fee levels for Gothenburg can be found here. The current fee is shown on the information board.

    Fees are charged for each entry or exit from the inner city zone. The price ranges from £0,739 kr to £3,6345 kr. The maximum amount that can be invoiced per vehicle per day is £10,88135 kr in Stockholm and £4,8360 kr in Gothenburg.

    Motorcycle and moped drivers do not pay tolls. Tolls are not collected in July, on weekends, on days preceding public holidays and on public holidays. Failure to pay the toll is punishable by a fine £40500 kr.

  2. Paying the entrance fee to Stockholm and Gothenburg 2023

    The fee is not payable when entering or leaving the city itself, but is payable retrospectively on the basis of the invoice sent. Vehicles are automatically registered at the electronic checkpoints and do not stop at the respective stations. Swedes are charged by the Swedish Transport Authority, and invoices are sent abroad via Epass24.
    If the invoice is not paid on time, a late payment fee of £24,17300 kr will be charged. If the invoice is still not paid, a penalty of £40500 kr will be added.

    The owner of the vehicle is responsible for payment.
