Toll Roads Explained: How They Work in Different Countries

Some countries use traditional cash or card booths, others use fully electronic tolling with no way to pay on the spot, and a growing number use license-plate cameras that bill your rental company directly. It's worth asking your rental agency which system applies to your route.

Electronic-only toll roads sometimes carry an administrative fee on top of the toll itself when billed after the fact, so a prepaid toll pass, where available, can work out cheaper for a longer trip.
