Frequently asked questions

What is a vignette?

A vignette is a permit, bought in advance, to use a country's motorways for a set period. Some countries still sell a windscreen sticker; others sell only an electronic vignette registered to your number plate. The country page tells you which one you need.

How is a vignette different from toll gates?

A vignette is bought for a period and covers the roads that country's rules name. Toll gates charge for each section you drive. Even in vignette countries some roads are charged separately: Austria's operator ASFINAG, for example, lists a separate "section toll" next to the vignette (asfinag.at, read 2 October 2026).

What happens if I drive without one?

You can be fined, but there is no single penalty for all these countries: the amount, who can issue it and how it is detected are set by each country's law, and they differ a great deal. We print an amount on a country page only where we found it in an official source, and we give the source and the date there. Slovenia's operator, for example, says it checks e-vignettes with cameras on the motorway network, at control points and from control vehicles (DARS, read 2 October 2026).

Where can I buy one online?

For Austria, Switzerland and Romania the country page leads to the official seller; for Moldova, to the state portal. For Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia it leads to the reseller Vintrica: the prices on those pages, except Bulgaria's daily vignette, are Vintrica's approximate prices, and the exact amount is on Vintrica's payment page.
