In Brief

ASFINAG: no separate vignette for trailers and caravans. Motorhomes up to 3.5 t need a vignette, heavier ones need GO-Box. Transition until 2029.

Austrian company ASFINAG reports that no separate vignette is required for trailers and caravans; a vignette on the towing vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes is sufficient. For motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes, the same rules apply as for passenger cars: a vignette is required. Heavier vehicles must use the GO-Box, which charges per kilometre.

From 2027, paper vignettes will be replaced by digital ones. The transition period for previously registered vehicles runs until 1 February 2029. From 2029, all motorhomes with a technically permissible mass over 3.5 tonnes, including re-registered ones, must use the GO-Box.

ASFINAG has clarified toll rules for Austria's motorways and expressways for motorhomes and caravans. Caravans (trailers) do not require a separate vignette — the towing vehicle's vignette suffices if its gross vehicle weight is up to 3.5 t. Motorhomes up to 3.5 t need a standard vignette; heavier ones must use a GO-Box with distance-based charges. For motorhomes re-registered to a lower weight (under 3.5 t), a transition period applies until February 1, 2029, after which a GO-Box will be mandatory if the technically permissible mass exceeds 3.5 t.

Camping Puchner in Feldkirchen, Austria, is gaining attention through a social media video made by the owner's son-in-law. The site, operating for about 25 years, offers 100 pitches, including 50 for seasonal campers and 30 for caravans and motorhomes. Guests mainly come from the region and Germany, as well as Australia, France, Canada, and Israel. Demand for camping has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic.

In July 2026, Carinthia recorded 2.6 million overnight stays, up four percentage points compared to July 2025. In the first half of the year, the region ranked second among Austrian federal states in camping overnight stays (about 655,000), behind Tyrol. Operators report an increase in new guests, including from Denmark, Czech Republic, Poland, and surprisingly from the UK and Ireland. Starting in November, a local tax of four euros per person per night will be introduced, causing some concern among campsite operators.
