At TollInfo Austria, we are committed to providing you with accurate, timely, and comprehensive support. This page outlines our streamlined process for requesting assistance and information, ensuring your queries are addressed efficiently and effectively.

Our Step-by-Step Assistance Request Process

We've designed our support process to be as straightforward as possible, guiding you through each stage to ensure all necessary details are captured and your query is directed to the most appropriate expert. Follow these steps to get the help you need:

  1. Step 1: Identify Your Query Type

    Before reaching out, consider the nature of your request. Is it a general inquiry about toll rates, a specific question about a particular vignette type, a route advisory request, or a problem related to a toll payment? Knowing this helps us categorise and prioritise your request effectively.

    Expected: 1-2 minutes of self-assessment.

  2. Step 2: Check Our Information Hub (Self-Service)

    Many common questions are already answered in our extensive Information Hub. This resource includes FAQs, detailed articles on different toll types (vignettes, section tolls), payment methods, and common regulations. A quick search here might provide an immediate answer.

    Expected: 5-10 minutes. This could resolve your query instantly.

  3. Step 3: Prepare Necessary Details

    If the Information Hub doesn't provide a solution, gather all relevant information. This might include:

    • Vehicle Details: Make, model, registration number, country of registration.
    • Travel Plans: Proposed or actual travel dates, specific routes, entry/exit points in Austria.
    • Problem Description: Clear explanation of the issue, including any error messages, disputed charges, or specific questions.
    • Documentation: Scans or photos of receipts, vignettes, penalty notices, or relevant correspondence.

    Expected: 10-20 minutes, depending on document availability.

  4. Step 4: Choose Your Contact Method

    We offer several ways to contact us. For most detailed queries, our online contact form or email is preferred as it allows for comprehensive information submission. For urgent but less complex matters, phone support might be available during business hours.

    Expected: 1 minute.

  5. Step 5: Submit Your Request

    Clearly articulate your query in your chosen contact method. If using the contact form on our Contact Us page, fill in all fields accurately. If emailing, use a descriptive subject line (e.g., "Toll Query: Vehicle Registration ABC-123, Travel 15/03/2026"). Attach any prepared documentation.

    Expected: 5-15 minutes, depending on query complexity and attachments.

  6. Step 6: Acknowledge Receipt

    Upon successful submission, you will receive an automated acknowledgement email with a unique reference number. Please keep this number safe as it will be essential for any follow-up communications.

    Expected: Immediate (within 5 minutes of submission).

  7. Step 7: Initial Assessment and Assignment

    Our support team will review your request, assess its complexity, and assign it to the most appropriate specialist. During this phase, we may conduct initial research or request further clarification if needed.

    Expected: 1-2 business days.

  8. Step 8: Expert Review & Resolution

    The assigned specialist will thoroughly investigate your query, utilising our extensive database of toll regulations, real-time updates, and advisory tools. We aim to provide a comprehensive and accurate response.

    Expected: 2-5 business days, depending on the complexity of the query. More complex issues involving third-party verification may take longer.

  9. Step 9: Receive Your Response

    You will receive a detailed response via email, addressing your query and providing any necessary information or guidance. If further action is required from your side, it will be clearly outlined.

    Expected: Within the timeframe communicated in Step 8.

  10. Step 10: Feedback & Follow-up

    We value your feedback on our support process. If you have any follow-up questions related to the initial response, please reply to the same email thread, referencing your original number. This ensures continuity and avoids delays.

    Expected: As needed.
