Do You Need a Motorway Vignette in Europe?

Country-by-country guides for all 9 vignette states — where stickers are required, official buy links, and sourced prices. Soft CTR geos first: Hungary and Austria.

What a vignette is: a road-use sticker or digital permit valid for a fixed period (not charged per kilometre). Where it's required: motorways and expressways in each of the 9 countries below — requirements vary by country, see each guide for the exact roads. Where to buy: always use the official national site linked from each country guide — third-party resellers often overcharge or sell invalid stickers.

Prices on each country page are official as of that page's own update date, not a live feed.

Which European countries need a motorway vignette in 2026?

9 countries sell a time-based motorway vignette instead of charging per passage: Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland. The cheapest short-validity vignette we list is €3.50 in Romania, and the most expensive annual vignette is €180.00 in Moldova.

A vignette is one purchase that covers a country's whole motorway network for a fixed period, so it is not charged per kilometre and is not additive with the tolled tunnels or bridges that a country explicitly excludes from it. Countries that charge per passage instead of selling a vignette are listed separately on this page, as are the countries with no motorway charge at all.

Tariffs change when a national authority publishes new prices, most often at the turn of the year — this is not a live feed. Buy only from the official national seller linked on each country page. Machine-readable: llms.txt
