Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most specific markets regarding road tolls. The country is administratively divided into two parts: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Republika Srpska (RS). Each of them has its own motorway operator and its own price list.
In 2026, the motorway network (mainly the Vc corridor) is being gradually expanded, which involves the emergence of new toll collection points. Below you will find a precise list of rates for both administrative units.
In Bosnia, a closed toll collection system applies - you collect a ticket at the entrance and pay for the driven section at the exit. The official currency is the Convertible Mark (BAM).
Vehicle Classification in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Both operators apply the same division into 4 categories. For heavy transport, the key categories are:
- Category III: Vehicles with 2 or 3 axles, with a mass over 3.5 t and a height over the front axle above 1.3 m.
- Category IV: Vehicles with 4 or more axles (standard tractor + trailer sets), with a mass over 3.5 t and a height over the front axle above 1.3 m.
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (JP Autoceste FBiH)
It mainly operates the A1 motorway connecting Zenica, Sarajevo, and the south of the country (border with Croatia).
Table: Main sections in FBiH (Rates in BAM)
| Section (Route) | Category III (2-3 axles) | Category IV (≥4 axles) |
|---|---|---|
| Zenica North - Sarajevo West | 18.00 BAM | 24.00 BAM |
| Sarajevo North - Zenica South | 13.00 BAM | 18.00 BAM |
| Sarajevo West - Bradina | 8.00 BAM | 12.00 BAM |
| Bijača (HR Border) - Zvirovići | 3.00 BAM | 5.00 BAM |
Republika Srpska (JP Autoputevi RS)
It operates motorways in the north of the country: Banja Luka - Doboj (“9. Januar”) and Banja Luka - Gradiška.
Table: Main sections in RS (Rates in BAM)
| Section (Route) | Category III (2-3 axles) | Category IV (≥4 axles) |
|---|---|---|
| Banja Luka - Doboj (entire route) | 21.00 BAM | 35.00 BAM |
| Banja Luka - Gradiška (entire route) | 10.00 BAM | 15.00 BAM |
| Jakupovci - Čatrnja | 7.00 BAM | 10.00 BAM |
Total transit cost: A journey from the north to the south of Bosnia (from the Croatian border in Gradiška via Banja Luka, Doboj, and Sarajevo to the border in Bijača) for a 40t set costs about 80-90 BAM (approx. 41-46 EUR).
Payment Methods and Practical Information
Toll payments in Bosnia and Herzegovina are very flexible:
- Cash: Marks (BAM) and euros (EUR) are accepted. Important: Change is almost always given in marks (BAM), regardless of the payment currency.
- Payment cards: All major cards (Visa, MasterCard, Maestro) are accepted at most gates.
- No vignettes: There is no vignette system in Bosnia - you only pay for actual kilometers driven on motorways.
Notes for Carriers: Infrastructure Status
In 2026, the Vc corridor (A1 motorway) still has “gaps” where traffic takes place on national roads (e.g., via the Ivan Pass before the full tunnel is completed). There are no fees on these sections, but travel time is drastically extended.
Meet our Route Calculator
Planning a route through Bosnia is a logistical challenge - you have to take into account two different operators, two currencies at the gates, and difficult mountainous terrain that drastically increases fuel consumption. Our calculator takes all of this into account.
Why is it worth it?
- Division into operators: The system automatically recognizes when you enter the Republika Srpska territory and when you enter the Federation, summing up the fees from both price lists into one report.
- BAM to local currency conversion: We provide rates in Bosnian marks, but you immediately see their real cost in your currency according to the latest exchange rates.
- Fuel optimization in the mountains: Bosnia has huge elevation changes. The calculator will determine whether it pays to take a longer route on the motorway or risk driving through narrow mountain passes, where a vehicle set’s fuel consumption increases by 50%.
- Up-to-date road network: Bosnia opens new sections of the A1 every few months. Our calculator always has the most up-to-date map of toll sections of the route.
