ViaMichelin can provide a detailed journey cost for any car or motorcycle route: fuel cost (with details on fuel costs for motorways and other roads) and toll costs (information for each toll used). If you have entered your vehicle model, the cost will be calculated according to its consumption levels.
ViaMichelin also enables you to spread the cost of your trip based on the number of people travelling, very useful for carpooling, for example. To obtain this information, simply click on the « Detailed journey cost » button at the bottom of your route summary.
ViaMichelin can provide you with toll costs for all journeys in Europe, including vignettes as used in Switzerland. This information is updated with each change in rates and takes into account winter and summer prices, in particular.
The toll cost is detailed for each toll barrier and is adapted for each vehicle used: car, motorcycle, camper van.
ViaMichelin will also indicate any crossings into restricted traffic zones, such as Critair in France. Tolls can be avoided by selecting the appropriate option in the route calculation stage.
ViaMichelin accurately calculates fuel costs in relation to the car details your provided in the route options. By entering the make, range, model, year, engine and fuel type, your route will provide you with the fuel consumption and cost information specific to your vehicle.
The cost calculation takes into account the type of roads taken and is based on an average drive in terms of fuel consumption.
