The Following Details are Particularly Important:

Why Do I Need an E-Vignette in Slovakia?

Whether you’re visiting on holiday or just passing through, if you want to use Slovakia’s highways or expressways, you’ll need a valid digital vignette.

Since 2020, physical sticker vignettes are no longer available. They were completely replaced with the launch of the EZNAMKA toll registration system.

Checks are now carried out conveniently and efficiently via licence plate scan, so there’s no need to stop at toll booths.

Toll Requirement & Network Coverage in Slovakia

The vignette requirement applies to almost all highway and expressway sections. Toll roads are marked with special traffic signs, while toll-free sections are identified with a sign reading: “BEZ UHRADY”.

What Vehicles Need a Vignette?

Vignettes for Cars and Motorhomes – Validity and Regulations

For vehicles with a maximum gross weight of up to 3.5 tonnes, four vignette options are available in Slovakia:

Cars

Buy

Trailers

Buy

The cost depends on the selected validity period.

Unlike many other vehicle types, motorcycles do not require a vignette in Slovakia.

For vehicle combinations, such as a car with a trailer, the rule is: if the total weight exceeds 3.5 tonnes, separate vignettes are required for both the towing vehicle and the trailer.

For vehicles over 3.5 tonnes (e.g., trucks, large motorhomes, or buses), a different system applies: the toll is distance-based and calculated using an on-board unit (OBU). In this case, the validity period of a vignette does not apply.

How Much Does an E-Vignette Cost in Slovakia?

The Slovak government offers different validity periods, from a one-day ticket to an annual vignette. You can find all current prices below, including any service fees and payment costs. We also provide a live currency conversion tool so you know exactly how much you will pay in your local currency.
