Vignette Slovakia

If you want to use the motorways and expressways in Slovakia with a passenger car, delivery van or motorhome up to 3500 kg, you must buy an e-vignette. Vehicles with a total weight of more than 3500 kg, including heavy motorhomes, must pay toll charges per kilometre. Motorcyclists are exempt from the vignette requirement. You do not have to buy a separate vignette for trailers and caravans. You can choose to pay the vignette using different payment methodes like PayPal, online banking or a credit card.

Why a vignette for Slovakia

The e-vignette was introduced to be able to properly maintain the toll roads and to cover the costs for this. What the Slovak vignette requirement entails, what you must comply with to obtain a vignette, where you can buy the vignettes and whether a digital vignette already exists, will all be explained in the chapters below.

For which roads do you require a vignette?

You will need an e-vignette for almost all motorways and many expressways in Slovakia.

Trailers and caravans

You do not need to buy a separate e-vignette for a trailer or caravan as long as the total weight of the car remains below 3500 kilos.

Heavy vehicles

Vehicles with a total weight of more than 3500 kg, including heavy motorhomes, pay toll charges per kilometre.

For these heavy vehicles, this is tracked via an electronic box (on-board unit OBU) that is registered and collected via GPS. This box (Myto box) must be requested in advance and cannot be obtained through us.

How does the digital vignette for Slovakia work?

After you have ordered and paid for the digital e-vignette for Slovakia in a few mouse clicks, your registration number will be registered in the central Slovak database which is responsible for enforcing the vignette requirement and awarding the digital vignettes. The vignette is checked with an advanced camera system. These smart cameras, which are strategically placed along the motorways and at the border, make this possible. Thanks to these cameras the registration numbers can be scanned and verified immediately.

Types of e-vignettes for Slovakia

You can order three types of vignettes for Slovakia:

1. The 10-day vignette for Slovakia.

2. The 30-day vignette for Slovakia.

3. The 1-year vignette for Slovakia.

The yearly vignette starts on 1 January and is valid until 31 January of the following year. So if you buy this digital vignette halfway through the year, it will be valid until 31 January of the following year.

Can i transfer the Slovak e-vignette to another vehicle?

After recveiving the digital vignette Slovakia we can no longer make any changes. We can not transfer it to another vehicle. Also changing the licenceplate number or change the country of registration is not possible.

Toll vignettes for rental cars

When you travel to Slovakia by rental car, it is important to check whether the toll requirement has already been arranged. When you rent a car in Slovakia, the electronic vignette is usually included, but it is still wise to check this beforehand.

For rental cars that are registered in another country, the toll vignette is often not arranged by the rental company and you must sort this yourself. To be sure, check this with the car dealer where you rent the vehicle.

Fine for not having a vignette for Slovakia

When your vehicle does not have a valid e-vignette, you can expect a fine of about € 140. This fine will be sent to your home automatically. If the vehicle owner does not have a valid registration for a vignette, he will be irrevocably fined, which is much higher than the price of the vignette itself.
