How to buy a vignette online?
Buying an e-vignette takes less than 2 minutes. A simple 4-step process — without leaving home.
Registration in the operator’s official system — confirmation by email usually within 2–3 minutes of payment. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Four simple steps
Ordering online takes about 2 minutes; the vignette usually arrives by email 2–3 minutes after payment. Check our complete vignette pricing.
Pick your destination and duration
Every country has its own rules and pricing structure. We handle vignettes for 6 European destinations - Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Switzerland. Select your destination country, then choose vehicle type and validity period - from single-day passes to annual coverage.
Tap any duration on a country card - the form will fill itself automatically.
Enter your vehicle and contact details
Type your licence plate exactly as it appears on your vehicle - letters and numbers; spaces are removed automatically (for German plates keep the hyphen after the district code). Your vignette is linked to this registration, so accuracy matters. We will also need an email address to send your confirmation.
Always double-check your plate number - corrections after registration are extremely difficult.
Complete secure payment
Payments are processed by Stripe. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and digital wallets. All connections are encrypted with TLS protocol. Your banking details never touch our servers.
Card and wallet payments are confirmed immediately.
Vignette registered - drive with confidence
Once payment clears, we register your vignette in the operator’s official system and email you the confirmation - usually within 2–3 minutes of payment (for a start date far ahead, as soon as the operator’s system accepts the registration). No printing, no stickers, no showing documents - motorway cameras automatically verify your plate as you drive.
Save your confirmation email - it may be useful during manual roadside checks.
How vignette enforcement works
Modern verification systems operate fully automatically - no toll booths, no stops, operating 24/7.
ANPR cameras
Overhead gantries are equipped with infrared cameras that read licence plates of vehicles travelling up to 150 km/h - day, night, rain or shine.
Central database
Every scanned plate is verified against the active vignette database within milliseconds. Your vignette appears there once it is registered — usually 2–3 minutes after payment.
Mobile patrols
Unmarked vehicles with mobile scanners patrol motorways continuously. They verify registrations while driving. The system operates 24/7, 365 days a year.
Cross-border violation tracking active
Violation data is shared between EU member states through the CBE system. Fines can arrive by post weeks after your trip. Penalties reach up to €500 (Slovakia) or €800 (Slovenia) — buying a vignette costs a fraction of these amounts. Stay legal — buy before you set off.
Frequently asked questions about the process
More questions in our full FAQ.
How long does it take to get my vignette?
The order is confirmed immediately. We register the e-vignette in the operator’s official system and send the confirmation to the email address provided — usually within 2–3 minutes of payment. If the start date is further ahead than the operator’s system accepts (e.g. Czech Republic 30 days, Slovakia 60 days before the start), we register the vignette automatically as soon as the system allows and then send the confirmation. The Swiss vignette is registered on its start date.
Do I need to print or attach anything?
No. The e-vignette is fully digital and linked to your vehicle's number plate. ANPR camera systems automatically verify vignette validity during your journey. There is nothing to print or stick to the windscreen — you only need to hold a valid vignette in the system.
What if I enter the wrong number plate?
Contact us immediately by email (info@europe-vignettes.com) or phone (+44 208 226 4306). If the vignette has not yet been registered in the official system, there is a chance to correct the details. After registration, plate changes are typically not possible in most countries — which is why the form asks you to enter the plate twice for safety.
Can I buy a vignette for a future date?
Yes. During checkout, you can pick a future start date for the vignette. 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, Slovenia 29 days, Bulgaria 30 days before the start), we register the vignette automatically as soon as the system allows and then send you the confirmation. The Swiss vignette is registered on its start date. This is ideal if you are planning your trip in advance.
