In order to get to Slovenia we decided Austria was the best option. At the motorway services in Salzburg I asked for a box. Reg doc with weight was requested. We were going to Villach and back. A charge of 147 Euro on my card and given the box to stick on screen. As you pass various points it beeps once. On return it beeped twice every time a point was passed. Low credit, got off mway and took box in, had 12 euro credit, enough to get to Salzburg. Off mway at Salzburg, took box in and was told other side. How to get across a 6 lane mway? Back to office, how do I cross? There is a road 50 mtrs away, found it, it's for cars, goes under the mway, cars don't need a box. No pedestrians said the sign, ignored it and ran over. They wouldn't take the box, kept telling me I had credit, I kept telling them I don't want box as I am going into Germany. No luck, met a policeman outside, he suggested I might give it back in Germany? Got back to Rv and wrote up the fiasco so could email Go and explain. The next day we left a campsite in Germany, got on mway and 50 miles later saw a Go sign at the services. Took box in, it was taken and the credit went back on card. Cost to cross and return 138 Euro. If you cheated and got a vignette, for vehicles under 3500 kgs, and cheap, got stopped and paperwork checked, very large fine. Also diesel in Austria was 1.79 Euro, camped once, most expensive at 23 Euro. If we go again, it will be via north Italy.
