Frequently asked questions
Everything travellers ask us before setting off.
Straight answers about how our estimates are built, where the data comes from and what you still need to buy yourself.
How accurate are the cost estimates?
We model published toll tariffs, vignette prices and average regional fuel and charging prices. Real costs shift with fuel markets, seasonal tariffs, time-of-day pricing and vehicle class rules, so treat every figure as a well-informed indication and confirm with the official portal before you travel.
Are the vignette and toll prices official?
Yes. AutoVere links directly to official government and operator portals — ASFINAG, via.admin.ch, AutoPASS, Telepass, DARS, 407 ETR, SunPass and others. We never resell vignettes or toll passes, so there is no middleman markup and you always pay the real price on the official site.
Why use AutoVere instead of standard Google Maps?
Google Maps shows the road; AutoVere prices it. We calculate automated toll costs, flag missing vignettes, respect vehicle weight classes and motorhome clearances, and give you direct links to the official portals where you actually buy the pass — all before you reach the border.
Can I export my stops directly to my phone or in-car navigation?
Yes. With the one-time 14-day Trip Pass you can export a GPX file for your sat-nav or in-car system, open Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze deep-links, and print a PDF trip kit with toll gates, charging stops and ferry waypoints.
What makes AutoVere unique for Pro and Trip Pass users?
Only AutoVere lets you shape the route around who is actually in the car. Pick from 14 unified interest categories — RV services, camping and overnight, scenic drives, viewpoints, history and culture, castles and palaces, nature and outdoors, kids and play, wildlife, food and culinary, beach and water, towns and cities, adventure and active, peaceful and relaxing — and Pro or Trip Pass injects matching stops along your exact corridor, into the map, the offline PDF kit and the GPX, Google Maps and Apple Maps exports. Your travel party and interests are saved in My Garage, so every future trip is personalised from the first calculation.
Where do I find the travel party and stop filter?
In two places, and it is never hidden away. In My Garage open the "Travel party & stops" tab in the left menu to save who is travelling and which of the 14 interest categories matter to you. In the planner, right under your calculated route breakdown, open "Personalize stops for your travel party" to toggle the same categories for that specific trip. Both places share the same saved selection, so a change in one shows up in the other.
Is the Trip Pass a recurring subscription?
No. Trip Pass is a one-time payment for 14 full days of export access. There is zero auto-renewal, no subscription trap and no cancellation needed. If you want ongoing unlimited exports you can upgrade to Pro, but Trip Pass itself is strictly one-time.
Do you sell vignettes or toll passes?
No. We deliberately never resell them. Each toll line links straight to the official operator — ASFINAG, via.admin.ch, AutoPASS, Telepass, 407 ETR, SunPass and others — so you always pay the real price with no reseller markup.
How are motorcycles handled?
Touring motorcycles are costed as their own vehicle class. Where operators publish reduced motorcycle tariffs we apply an indicative discount, Norwegian city rings are shown as free for two-wheelers, and you get a rider-specific safety and gear radar for mountain passes.
What about motorhomes and campervans?
Motorhomes are costed by weight and axle class where that applies, and we surface clearance, length and weight warnings for tunnels, passes and low bridges along the route.
Do you support electric vehicles?
Yes. Choose Electric (EV) and enter your battery size and consumption. We plan high-power charging stops with a 75% range safety buffer and show the networks you will meet — Ionity, Fastned, Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America and FLO.
Do I need an account?
No. Instant calculation with zero account required to test. My Garage stores your vehicles and trips on your own device; exports (GPX, PDF itinerary, send-to-car) are unlocked with the one-time 14-day Trip Pass or Pro.
