Been asked to quote on 2 jobs, 1 to Copenhagen and 1 to Vienna, as I'm unaware of roads in Europe can you please advise of any tolls and additional charges on route. Would be much appreciated
Any experienced European drivers out there? Need help

2848Look on 'Via Michelin' web site and ALL info is there.
Just put in your vehicle type as towing a caravan and that will give you correct tolls for a van.
No tolls to Copenhagen. Austrian vignette available at border and local services. No tolls through Germany

261Just an observation for the Copenhagen job, when you get to Hamburg you can go 2 ways, either north up through Flensburg, then to Kolding, then east across the bridges to Copenhagen or you can go north east to Puttgarden and get the ferry to Rodby. The first way is further so more diesel and a toll on the last bridge and the ferry is fewer miles but you have the ferry cost. Both ways work out about the same cost so theres not alot in it. But get the ferry cost return and have a look at how many more miles the first way is. This may help you price the job. The ferry is 30 mins and you can get a nice meal. The price goes on the length of the van, its 3 years since i last went so not sure on the price now. Good luck anyway.

Copenhagen: I always go the Kolding way, it's about 80 miles extra but saves messing about with the ferry. Plus that toll bridge is epic to drive over, think it's about £20.
Vienna: The Austrian vignette was about a fiver last time I went, rest of the trip is free of tolls.
