Europe Vignettes 2026: Slovakia EUR 90, Austria EUR 106.80
Nine countries sell a motorway vignette: Slovakia's annual is EUR 90, Austria's EUR 106.80, Slovenia's EUR 117.50. Skip one and Austria bills EUR 200.
Nine European countries require a motorway vignette; Slovakia's annual now costs EUR 90, Austria's EUR 106.80 and Slovenia's EUR 117.50, while Switzerland sells only an annual sticker at CHF 40.
Nine European countries make you buy motorway access before you use it, and the annual prices have moved apart: Slovakia now charges EUR 90, Austria EUR 106.80 and Slovenia EUR 117.50 for a class 2A car, while Switzerland still sells nothing shorter than a CHF 40 year. The short options are where the money is saved — Czechia asks CZK 230 for a day and CZK 300 for ten, Hungary HUF 6,900 for ten days, and Romania 22 lei (about €4.20) for a day for the cleanest cars from 1 October 2026. Being caught without one is no token penalty: Austria collects a EUR 200 substitute toll at the roadside, Hungary bills HUF 27,790 if you settle within 60 days, and Czechia can reach CZK 20,000.

Heading into 2027: what changes when
Some vignettes follow the calendar, others run from the day you buy, and that decides whether a 2026 pass still covers a winter trip. Status on 3 October 2026, from each operator’s own site:
| Country | Current car price (annual) | When the current annual pass ends | 2027 prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| Switzerland | CHF 40 | 2026 vignette: 31 January 2027 | Unchanged at CHF 40; the 2027 vignette is valid 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2028 |
| Austria | €106.80 (rates from 1 December 2025) | 2026 vignette: 31 January 2027 | Not yet published by ASFINAG; from 2027 digital only |
| Hungary | HUF 61,760 national, HUF 7,190 county | 2026 annual: midnight, 31 January 2027 | Not yet published (tariff dated 1 January 2026) |
| Czechia | CZK 2,570 | One year from the start date | Not yet published (price list dated 1 January 2026) |
| Slovenia | €117.50 | Same day one year after the start date | No new tariff published |
| Slovakia | €90 (365-day) | 365 days from the start date | No new tariff published |
| Bulgaria | €64.50 | One year from the start date | Tariff from 1 August 2026 still current |
| Romania | 254-330 lei (12 months, by Euro class) | 12 months from the start date | Tariff from 1 October 2026 in force |
| Moldova | No annual pass; 180 days €85 | End of the chosen period | No new tariff published |
The practical point: in Switzerland, Austria and Hungary a 2026 annual pass stops on 31 January 2027 whatever day you bought it, so a February 2027 ski trip needs the 2027 product. Everywhere else the clock starts on the day you choose, so the price you pay is the one in force on the day you buy.
How to Buy a Vignette
- Online (recommended): Most countries sell e-vignettes on official websites. Buy before you arrive and it activates on your chosen date.
- Border crossings: Vignettes are sold at major border entry points, but queues can be long.
- Petrol stations: Available at service stations near borders and throughout the country.
- Post offices: Some countries sell vignettes through their postal service.
Five vignette mistakes that actually cost people money
- Buying at the first petrol station inside the country. Cameras sit at the border and on the first motorway stretch — you need the vignette active before your wheels touch the motorway, not 20 km in.
- Looking for a sticker that doesn’t exist. Czechia, Hungary, Slovenia and most others are plate-linked e-vignettes now. Nothing to display; one plate typo and you’re effectively uninsured against the fine.
- Duration guesswork. Switzerland sells annual only (CHF 40) — no 10-day escape. Austria jumps from 10 days straight to 2 months.
- Assuming Google’s top result is the official site. Resellers charge €10-20 “service fees” for a €12 vignette. Use the official portals: asfinag.at, edalnice.cz, evinjeta.dars.si.
- Assuming your rental already has one. Cars rented in-country usually do; cross a border and that’s on you — ask at the desk.
