Prepaid Viacard discontinuation

Notice is hereby given that Viacards have been discontinued. Their technology based on a magnetic stripe has become outdated and is rapidly falling into disuse.

The decision to discontinue this payment method stems from the recent widespread use of credit cards with a chip, and especially prepaid credit cards, alongside the progressive adoption of new contactless technologies which do not require users to insert the card in the collection systems, thus ensuring shorter dwell times at toll gates, increasing safety and improving traffic flows.

Terms of use and/or refund of the remaining credit

At all toll booths on the Italian motorway network, already purchased Viacards can be used until the credit is depleted, up until 31/12/2029.

It will always be possible to request a refund of the remaining credit, with no minimum amount limit, until 31/12/2038, following the procedures outlined on the Autostrade website under the "Refunds" section, or on the Muovy app under the "Viacard Refund" section, as well as by submitting a written request via email to info@autostrade.it

If your Viacard is lost or stolen, you can request a refund for the amount left when the request is forwarded to Autostrade per l'Italia, by attaching the report or declaration in lieu of affidavit together with a copy of the card purchase invoice, and/or a copy of the payment receipt collected at the toll station, containing data of the last transit paid with the Viacard in question

Read the signs at the toll booth

The signs specifying the payment methods available at all entry and exit toll booths follows national colour, logo and symbol standards. For the safety of all road users, remember to occupy the entry or exit lane corresponding to the payment method you have chosen, starting on the lanes leading to the toll booth.

Gates dedicated to Telepass customers have signs above the projecting roof with a yellow background and the wording "reserved for TELEPASS customers". All the other gates that issue tickets are marked by signs placed below at the entrance to the gate.
