Travel of freight cars by Estonian roads will be paid
Publishedо 28 November, 2017
From January 2018, the truck owners will pay for the right to travel by the roads of Estonia, if the vehicle weight exceeds 3500 kg. Payment will be charged with the Estonian vehicles and trucks registered abroad.

Since the new fee must be paid before the trip, the Department of highway administration allowed to make the payment from December 20, 2017. The payment can be made through such portals as teetasu.ee, mnt.ee, at the border crossings and through emta.ee as the portal of the Taxation and Customs Department.

Rates of payment vary depending on the total mass of the truck and trailer, the vehicle’s  environmental standard on exhaust gas and the number of axles. Besides, the cost depends on the period during which the truck is planned to travel by Estonian roads. It is possible to purchase a permit for one day, week, or calendar year. A refund of monetary funds for the unused days of travel is made by submitting application to the Department of highway administration.
