How much does a truck pay per kilometre in Bulgaria under BG Toll?

Since 2026-06-01, a Euro VI truck over 12 t with four or more axles pays 0.21 EUR per kilometre on Bulgarian motorways, 0.19 EUR on first-class roads and 0.18 EUR on second-class roads under BG Toll . A Euro VI truck of 3.5 to 12 t pays 0.08, 0.07 and 0.06 EUR.

What do older Euro classes pay per kilometre in Bulgaria?

The rate depends on weight, axle count, Euro class and road type. The figures here come from the base Class 1 table that took effect on 2026-06-01 under Decree No. 64 of 2026-05-26, published on the official BG Toll rates page . A tractor and semitrailer usually has five axles, so it sits in the over 12 t group with four or more axles. That group pays 0.26, 0.24 and 0.22 EUR per kilometre at Euro V, 0.29, 0.28 and 0.26 EUR at Euro III or IV, and 0.34, 0.31 and 0.29 EUR at Euro 0 to II, on motorways, first-class and second-class roads in that order.

Trucks over 12 t with two or three axles pay less: 0.14, 0.13 and 0.12 EUR at Euro VI, and 0.18, 0.16 and 0.15 EUR at Euro V. Trucks of 3.5 to 12 t pay 0.10, 0.08 and 0.07 EUR at Euro V. On a 100 km motorway stretch, a Euro VI five-axle combination therefore pays 21 EUR and a Euro V one pays 26 EUR.

Who pays BG Toll and how is it collected?

BG Toll applies to owners and users of vehicles with a technically permissible maximum weight above 3.5 t on Bulgarian motorways, first-class roads and second-class roads. Drivers pay through a GNSS on-board unit linked to a national service provider or an EETS (European Electronic Toll Service) provider , through a GPS device that sends declared data, or with a 24-hour route card. Declare either a weight up to 12 t or, above 12 t, an axle count of 2, 3, 4 or 5 and more, counting any towed vehicle.

Bulgaria is only one cost on a transit leg. Compare it with other countries in our EU road tolls guide for trucks , and check the Bulgaria HGV driving ban times before you fix the schedule.

Do lower CO2 classes pay less in Bulgaria?

Yes. Directive (EU) 2022/362 requires distance-based tolls for heavy vehicles to be differentiated by CO2 emission class, and the Bulgarian tariff lists classes 1 to 5. Classes 2 to 5 cover Euro VI or EEV vehicles, and class 5 covers zero-emission vehicles. For a Euro VI truck over 12 t with four or more axles, the motorway rate falls from 0.21 EUR in class 1 to 0.20 EUR in class 2, 0.17 EUR in class 4 and 0.14 EUR in class 5. Confirm your vehicle's CO2 class with your toll provider before assuming the base rate.
