Need the latest toll rates? - no problem

You’ve just purchased a new route planner with toll calculation functionality and then one month later the toll fees for the your key routes are increased. With conventional systems, you have to obtain the latest tariffs every time toll charges are modified - assuming the data is even available for your system. map&guide base relieves you of this task. As soon as a toll road operator announces changes to their toll tariffs, these changes are immediately incorporated into the toll data in map&guide base. Each time you use map&guide base to calculate a route and the associated toll costs, you can always be sure that the program will use the most up-to-date toll fees.

Data for all of Europe

With map&guide base you can calculate toll costs for lorries in the UK, Germany and the various different toll tariffs throughout Europe: The software accounts for all the costs associated with using motorways, alpine passes, tunnels or other toll-paying roads that have been released by the relevant toll providers. Therefore the toll calculation capability of the program provides you with an additional tool for choosing the optimal route for any situation – including long distance and international transport: Depending on the point of departure, destination, vehicle type and toll charges, it might be more cost-effective to drive to Italy, for example, via Switzerland even though a route through Austria would actually be shorter and quicker.

Total cost control

Being able to precisely calculate your route costs is the decisive factor when it comes to competitiveness – especially for frequent drivers and transport companies. The toll calculation function in map&guide base makes cost control easier than ever before. Unlike "static" route planners or toll tables, that are often out-of-date as soon as they are released, map&guide base always accesses the latest data for toll charges - without you needing to lift a finger.

This means you can calculate your actual route costs, including toll fees, more accurately than before. This even works for routes that you only use rarely or that you have only followed once. Furthermore since the data are exactly those used by toll operators to calculate road fees, the toll costs calculated in map&guide base can in many cases be used for verification purposes if, for example, your invoice from Toll Collect contains errors.
