In Brief

Michel Letraveler, who traveled through Italy in 2020, received a demand for €119.36 in May 2026 for an unpaid toll. He claims he paid €80.50 on site and is contesting the claim.

French traveler Michel Letraveler, who drove a motorhome through Italy in 2020, received a demand for €119.36 in May 2026 for an unpaid toll at the Genova Ouest toll booth. The notice came from Italian collection company Nivi.

Michel claims he paid the €80.50 toll on site but encountered a problem at the terminal, where he was told the ticket was invalid. He intends to contest the demand by providing bank statements from that period. The incident raises questions about the timeliness and validity of claims by Italian road operators.
