The Eurotunnel crossing tops the list, making it Europe's most expensive toll route. Meanwhile, many Eastern European countries offer much more affordable options to hit the open road.

A new study names France as the continent's toll fee capital, with French routes claiming the top spot and five of the 10 most expensive tolls in Europe.

Italy and Denmark follow closely, with toll fees of €68.30 and €54.00, respectively.

A study by the European tollway seller, Tollwayr, analysed toll fees across European countries, examining costs for various motorways, tunnels and bridges to identify the most expensive routes for car drivers.

France leads the list with the Eurotunnel crossing between France and the UK charging €72.00, making it the most expensive toll in Europe.  

The country also appears in the top five positions with its major motorway routes, including the Paris-Marseille route at €68.90. 

"What's particularly notable is that France doesn't just have one or two expensive routes – it consistently charges premium prices across its major highways and tunnels," said Mattijs Wijnmalen, CEO of Tollwayr.

"The country's extensive toll network reflects significant infrastructure investment, but also places a considerable financial burden on both local drivers and tourists."

Italy ranks high on the list, with the Milan-Bari route costing drivers €68.30, making it the third most expensive toll in Europe. 

Denmark and Sweden both feature in the top ten, with the Øresundsbron bridge connecting the two countries, charging €54.00 from either side, making it the most expensive bridge toll in Europe.

Croatia, while not in the top ten, has the most expensive tolls in Eastern Europe, charging €32.80. 

On the other hand, the United Kingdom's Warburton Bridge charges just €0.14, making it the least expensive toll in Europe, while Bosnia and Herzegovina's Svilaj-Odžak section costs only €0.61 for cars.
