Romania: New purchasing platform TollRo replaces SIEGMCR (from October 1, 2026)
Since October 1, 2026, the sale of the Rovinieta in Romania has been running through CNAIR's new system: the portal.etoll.ro portal, the TollRo app, CNAIR sales points, and authorized distribution partners. This replaces the previous sales platform SIEGMCR. Anyone who already bought a vignette before this date doesn't need to do anything, as existing Rovinieta vignettes remain valid until their regular expiry date.
Romania's state road administration CNAIR had already announced the changeover in September. It coincides with another change: since October 1, 2026, the Rovinieta rate for cars and motorhomes is, for the first time, based on the vehicle's Euro emissions standard, as we already reported in a separate article.
What exactly changes for travelers?
Anyone wanting to buy a new Rovinieta from October 1, 2026 onward, whether online, via app, or at one of the sales points, will buy it through the new TollRo system: on portal.etoll.ro, in the TollRo app, at CNAIR sales points, or from authorized distribution partners. Purchasing through the old SIEGMCR infrastructure is no longer possible from this date onward. License plate, vehicle data, and payment information must be newly registered with TollRo, as no automatic data transfer from the old system is planned.
Important for anyone who wanted to buy a vignette just before the changeover: anyone who purchased their Rovinieta via SIEGMCR by September 30, 2026, 11:59 p.m. at the latest, will have no problems, as these vignettes remain valid as normal until their individual expiry date. Checks will continue to be carried out automatically via license plate recognition, regardless of which platform the vignette was originally purchased on.
Political debate over the timing
In the Romanian Senate, a motion had been put forward to postpone the system changeover to April 2027. It was not implemented: the new system has been running since October 1, 2026, and after initial launch problems, CNAIR announced on October 6 that the disruptions had been resolved.
Romania toll at a glance
For cars, motorhomes, buses and goods vehicles up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight, the digital vignette requirement (Rovinieta) applies on the Romanian national road network, a flat amount for a fixed period. The price depends on the category and Euro class. Motorcycles are completely exempt from the toll requirement.
Since 1 October 2026, goods vehicles over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight pay the distance-based toll TollRo according to kilometres driven instead of the Rovinieta. In addition to the Rovinieta, a special toll now only applies at the Calafat-Vidin Danube Bridge; at the Ruse-Giurgiu Bridge, Bulgaria collects a toll in the direction of Romania.
