Fees are back: You will have to pay again to drive on the A1 motorway on the Toruń – Gdańsk section. At the beginning of 2025 the fee exemption effective from 2023 has ended for driving on this highway. They were introduced by the government of Mateusz Morawiecki and extended by the government of Donald Tusk. From January 1, the rates returned to those before the dismissal.
How much will we pay for the A1 motorway? The online tariff shows that the most expensive journey is between Nowa Wieś and Rusocice. For category 1 vehicles it costs PLN 29.9. However, for category 2-4 vehicles the price for this section is PLN 71, and for category 5 – PLN 298.9. “Users registered in the AmberGO system use the toll gates without any changes, i.e. they do not have to collect a ticket at the motorway entrance or stop at the toll gates when exiting the motorway. Tolls will be collected automatically,” the company said.
People paid dearly for the “free highway”: The section of the highway from Tricity, where it begins, to Toruń is in private hands. The government had to pay extra to the owner, AmberOne, so that Poles could travel on the route for free. Only in 2024 the cost of this operation amounted to approximately PLN 248 million.
