Live occupancy

Germania publishes how many lorries are standing at each motorway rest area, updated every minute. We show it on the free map — the only country in Europe where this exists, because the count is derived from the toll units in the tractors.

What the road costs

Germania charges per kilometre, banded by axles and emission class — an older lorry pays materially more.

The toll carries no VAT — there is nothing to reclaim, and budgeting for a refund here is a hole in your cost per kilometre.

Plan a route with tolls and fuel

Figures are planning estimates and change over time. Weight limits, driving bans and tolls are taken from national sources where we could read them, and flagged where we could not. Always verify against the official source before you rely on them.
