At the toll booths, payment is made in cash or with a bank card. Make sure you choose the correct lane that has the cash sign and says Contanti or Carta.

There are also special lanes called Telepass that you may only use if you have the proper device to do so, which is not the case for vacationers. Therefore, never drive through the lane marked Telepass!

For a receipt, say Una ricevuta, per favore.
