Slovakia is a beautiful and easily accessible country, often visited by foreign travelers – for a weekend, holiday, or simply when passing through.
When driving on Slovak motorways, it is necessary to have a valid motorway vignette – the so-called e-vignette.

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 Slovak motorway vignette required?
The vignette is required on most sections of motorways and expressways designated as:
- D1 (Bratislava – Žilina – Košice)
- D2 (Bratislava – border with the Czech Republic)
- D3, D4
- R1, R2, R4 and others
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 first aid kit,
- It is mandatory to keep the headlights on throughout the day.
There are many speed cameras and inspections on Slovak 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.
Slovakia behind the wheel: good to know
- The Slovak 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.
