Reintroduction of toll collection for Ukrainian passenger cars

Autostrada Wielkopolska, acting in consultation with the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland and polish motorway concessionaires, decided to restore toll collection for passenger cars registered in Ukraine as of 1 June 2022. Vehicles with humanitarian aid to the citizens of Ukraine will remain toll exempt.

As of 1 June 2022 passenger cars registered in Ukraine will no longer be exempted from payment of toll for travelling on the A2 toll motorway section under the concession agreement. This means that cat. 1 vehicles that bear Ukrainian number plates will be required to pay the toll like any other road user, as per the toll rate schedule applicable to a given section.

The exemption from payment of toll for travelling on the A2 toll motorway section under the concession scheme for passenger cars registered in Ukraine and other cars with humanitarian aid was introduced on 1 March 2022. About 75,000 vehicles bearing Ukrainian number plates and about 4,000 vehicles with humanitarian aid were exempted from paying the toll on the A2 section between Nowy Tomyśl and Konin alone. Thus the value of not collected toll exceeded PLN 2.5 million. This is the actual aid that we have provided directly to the war refugees and those Ukrainians who had remained in their country.

In addition, Autostrada Wielkopolska, acting in consultation with the Ministry of Infrastructure, decided to continue toll exemption for vehicles transporting humanitarian aid. In order to obtain toll exemption for a trip on the A2 section between Świecko and Konin the interested party must apply for it at [email protected] stating the details of the planned travel.

Any such application should include:
1.    Name of the humanitarian organisation/ institution providing the humanitarian aid. If the transport is ordered by a humanitarian organisation, the applicant is requested to attach a relevant confirmation by the organisation in question.
2.    Contact data (email address)
3.    Registration numbers of the vehicles concerned.
4.    Planned date and route of travel of the vehicles transporting the humanitarian aid.
5.    Signature of the authorised representative of the Humanitarian Organisation.

The act of sending the application does not mean toll exemption by itself. The applicant must wait for approval of the application by the Company or further instructions, as the case may be.

The applications for toll exemption for vehicles with humanitarian aid for the citizens of Ukraine are processed 8:00 – 16:00, Monday to Friday.

We kindly remind you that the planned trip should be advised with a minimum 24 hour notice. If the planned trip with humanitarian aid falls on the weekend or on Monday, the application should be sent to [email protected] by the preceding Friday by 10 a.m. at the latest.
