Frequently asked questions about vignettes

More questions in our full FAQ.

Which countries require a motorway vignette?

A vignette is required in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Switzerland. Each country has its own system — a vignette purchased in one country is not valid in another. Austria and Romania also require vignettes.

Can I buy a vignette online before my trip?

Yes. On europe-vignettes.com you can buy an e-vignette for any of the 6 countries in less than 2 minutes. The order is confirmed immediately; the vignette is registered and the confirmation emailed usually within 2–3 minutes of payment. You can also choose a future start date — the vignette is valid from that day. If the date is further ahead than the operator’s system accepts (e.g. Czech Republic 30 days, Slovakia 60 days), we register it automatically as soon as the system allows.

How much does a daily vignette cost?

1-day vignette prices (incl. order handling): Czech Republic 390 CZK (~€15.60), Slovakia €15.95, Hungary 7,900 HUF (~€20.26). Bulgaria also offers a weekend vignette from €14.95. Slovenia has no daily vignettes — minimum 7 days.

Do motorcycles need a vignette?

It depends on the country. In Switzerland, Hungary (category D1m) and Slovenia (Class 1) a motorcycle requires a vignette. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria, motorcycles are exempt.

Does the vignette cover a trailer?

In the Czech Republic the trailer does not require a separate vignette. In Slovenia the trailer is also exempt. In Slovakia and Bulgaria a separate trailer vignette is required when the combined weight of the rig exceeds 3.5 tonnes. In Hungary a trailer towed by a car (D1) is covered by the D1 vignette; a separate U-category vignette is needed only behind a D2 vehicle. In Switzerland every vehicle and trailer requires its own vignette.

How does vignette enforcement work?

ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras across the motorway network automatically read number plates and verify vignette validity in the central database. There is nothing to display or print — the system runs automatically 24/7.

What if I enter the wrong number plate?

Contact us immediately. If the vignette has not yet been registered, there is a chance to correct it. After registration, plate changes are typically not possible in most countries — that's why the form asks you to enter the plate twice.
