found this site but no info on tolls for mh http://driving.drive-alive.co.uk/driving-in-austria.htm#motorways
however when I drove out to greece and back (3 years later) I kept to the 'A' roads great scenery and in the main clear problem free driving. Brenner pass back road in a blizzard will long be in my memory(not as daunting as it sounds) rob
Can't tell you about the Austrian system as we are under 3.5 tonnes. We bought a 10 day pass for 7.90 euros about 6 weeks ago at a tobacconists shop in the first town after the Italian border ( coming from Venice).
We bought a 15 month vignette for Switzerland at the border however for 20 euros. Used to last only a year but I understand this has now been extended. We were not offered anything cheaper or for less than a year.

Best advice for Austria - forget it! It's pricey, but do a Google search for "Go box Austria" - that's the name of the tolling electronic system.
Switzerland - my van is 4 tonnes and so in theory should cost 3.25 SFR per days transit. The border staff however are happy to dish out a window sticker - valid from Dec 06 - Jan 08 for 30 euros/40 SFR. I could not be bothered arguing.

When we went to Croatia we went through Austria and had to have a GO Box, from memory I believe it cost us around 60 Euros including 2 long tunnels which you would have to pay for even if you were <3.5 Tonnes.
Apart from the cost, it is certainly more convenient than having to keep stopping at toll booths
We saw lots of what we thought might be overhead detectors on gantrys over the motorways in Austria and wondered if Go Boxes were electronic devices -on the dashboard ?- that were "read" by these overhead devices.
