Highway vignette in Slovakia - A valid electronic highway vignette is required for most vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes when driving on tolled sections of Slovak motorways and expressways. Tolled sections are marked by road signs, and the fee is paid according to the selected validity period of the vignette.
How to obtain an electronic highway vignette - The highway vignette can be purchased online and registered directly to the vehicle’s license plate. Simply enter the license plate number, country of registration, select the required validity period and its start date.
Types of Slovakian motorway vignettes
Who needs an e-vignette?
- A motorway vignette is primarily intended for passenger cars and other vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.
- If the total weight of a vehicle combination (towing vehicle + trailer) does not exceed 3.5 tonnes, a single motorway vignette is sufficient.
- If the total weight of a vehicle combination exceeds 3.5 tonnes, a motorway vignette is required for both the towing vehicle and the trailer.
- Motorcycles are exempt from the requirement to purchase a motorway vignette.
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, R3, R4, R6 and R7
Before travelling, we recommend checking the current list of sections where a valid motorway vignette is required.
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,
- winter tyres when required by current weather conditions,
- It is mandatory to keep the headlights on throughout the day.
The validity of motorway vignettes in Slovakia is checked electronically. We therefore recommend arranging everything in advance and travelling without unnecessary worries.
