Devices, methods, and products are disclosed for collecting tolls for the use of traffic areas which are subject to tolls by a vehicle. To book an authorization for the use of one out of several alternatively usable traffic areas by a vehicle in sufficient time, first position data of the vehicle are associated with alternatively usable traffic areas with regard to the imminent potential use thereof. Use authorizations are booked for the traffic areas. The use of these authorizations can be voided, with the exception of the one that was verifiably used, insofar as second position data of the vehicle are associated with the same traffic areas with respect to a verified non-use.
