Vignettes in Eastern Europe: what to know before you go

Several Central and Eastern European countries use vignettes to charge drivers for motorway access.

In many cases, the vignette is digital and connected directly to your vehicle's registration number. This makes purchasing simple, but entering incorrect vehicle information can cause problems.

Vignette prices and validity periods vary by country, and some roads, bridges or tunnels may require additional payments.

Before crossing a border, check whether a vignette is required, when it becomes valid and which roads it covers. Whenever possible, purchase through official or authorized services.
