Meet EETS
Thanks to the European Electronic Toll Service, use a single on-board unit, which will make all toll roads in the countries of the European Union available to you.
Borderless tolls
The European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) will simplify crossing borders and the payment system significantly. The EETS service enables the payment of tolls in several toll domains of the European Union through a single contract with a single EETS provider and a single on-board unit. You pay everything in one payment, with no need to wait at the border. You will receive a simple invoice - clear and understandable.
Get benefits
We bring benefits for both the carrier and the state, lower costs and better quality services.
Do not wait at borders
Eliminate registration time delays at borders. EETS will give carriers the opportunity to move with only a single on-board unit (OBE) in several EU countries with no need to have multiple registrations and multiple on-board units (OBU). The international service will thus help with smooth crossing of borders, thus eliminating registration delays.
Single payment
In addition to a single on-board unit and a single contract, EETS has also other benefits. There is a possibility of combining several payments, thanks to which the carrier can pay for tolls and fuel with a single card or under a single contract.
Single contract and invoice
EETS will provide the possibility of having only one contract concluded for one vehicle and collecting tolls through a single on-board unit across all European countries that have joined the international system and in which the particular EETS provider operates.
Single onboard unit
An OBU is changing to OBE. The main difference is the possibility of its use in different toll systems. The OBE (On Board Equipment) allows motorists to cross different EU countries with no the need for an additional on-board unit for toll collection. The OBE will provide communication and sending vehicle location data necessary for toll calculation in all countries with EETS.
Travel across the entire EU
The European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) is the extension of the existing national toll systems by the possibility of toll payment with a single on-board unit and a single contract with a single EETS provider in several European countries. It is an international service that will allow carriers to move across the EU countries more easily.

No, it is not necessary. Payment of toll is mandatory, whether it is made through a National Provider or an EETS Provider, it is at the discretion of the carrier. Registration in EETS depends on the carrier's preferences, if the carrier wants to remain in the national system, he does not have to change anything.
