The Czech Republic is a popular tourist destination and offers a fast and efficient motorway network.
A valid electronic toll sticker is required for most vehicles to use Czech motorways.

Who needs an e-vignette?
- Motorcycles do not require a motorway vignette.
- If the total weight of your vehicle combination (car + trailer) does not exceed 3.5 t, only one vignette is required – for the towing vehicle.
- If the combination exceeds 3.5 t, a vignette is required for both the car and the trailer.
- For example, if you are towing a heavier caravan or a boat trailer, we recommend checking the total weight of the combination – otherwise you risk a fine.
Where is the Czech motorway vignette required?
The vignette is required on most sections of motorways and expressways designated as:
- D1 (Bratislava – Žilina – Košice)
- D0 (Modletice – Slivenec)
- D1 (Průhonice – Kývalka)
- D2 (Chrlice – state border (exit 3 to km 61) | in the opposite direction from Lanžhot, rest area) and others (D3 - D56)
All toll sections are marked with the appropriate road signs.
What not to forget!
In addition to the Slovak motorway vignette (e-vignette), we recommend checking the mandatory vehicle equipment.
In Slovakia it is mandatory to have:
- a reflective vest for each passenger,
- a warning triangle,
- a first aid kit,
- A spare wheel or a tire repair kit.
- It is mandatory to keep the headlights on throughout the day.
There are many speed cameras and inspections on Czech roads – and also high fines for driving without a valid vignette, which can exceed €300. That’s why we recommend arranging everything in advance and travelling with peace of mind.
Czechia behind the wheel: good to know
- The Czech motorway vignette (e-vignette) is directly linked to the license plate and works electronically – no sticker needed.
- Checks are carried out automatically via cameras.
- We recommend keeping the payment confirmation saved in your email or phone.
Speed limits:
- 130 km/h on motorways
- 90 km/h outside urban areas
- 50 km/h in built-up areas
In larger cities as well as smaller towns, speed cameras and section controls are often in place.
If you travel to the mountains or during winter, winter equipment may be useful, although it is not mandatory on all sections.
