autostrada tolls with credit card?
 
Is it possible to pay the autostrada toll fees with a Visa or American Express? I know they sell special Italy toll cards, or you can pay cash, but in other countries I've found it easier to pay with Visa. Can I in Italy?

Yes, just use the credit card lane

Thanks Donna! but now I need to know what the italian word for Credit Card is, so I can use the correct lane.

Carol, <BR><BR>I don't remember the specifics but it was easy to pay with a credit card... I don't think there was a special lane or it was obvious which lane to choose. It was like charging gas without an attendant.<BR><BR>Enjoy!

I'm not sure they take AmericanExpress, but definitely Visa and MC. Carta di credito.

ciao carol<BR><BR>take the blue lane for "viacard" NOT the yellow one! that's only for telepass owners. the blue one is if you want to pay with eather viacard or creditcard. i'm using my telepass so i don't know if the machine accept american express. but for sure visa and mastercard.<BR><BR>buon viaggio<BR><BR>christina
