Frequently asked questions
On this page you will find the frequently asked questions.- A vignette is proof that road tax has been paid for the vehicle. From December 2017, it is possible to apply for a digital vignette for Austria. The digital vignette is fully linked to the vehicle’s license plate and is registered in the Austria central database. So you no longer have to affix the vignette to your windscreen.
- The vignette is mandatory for all motor vehicles up to 350 kg (motorcycles and passenger cars). If the vehicle weighs more than 3500 kg, a Go-Box is required (trucks, busses and motorhomes).
- No, a valid vignette affixed to the towing vehicles is sufficient.
