Buy the Austria vignette online

If you want to buy the Austria vignette online, you can do so directly at europamaut: as a digital vignette registered to your license plate, with no visit to a petrol station and no waiting at the border. Officially, the digital vignette is also available in the ASFINAG toll shop, in the ASFINAG app, at vending machines and at selected points of sale such as ÖAMTC, ARBÖ, ADAC, petrol stations and tobacconists. You can get the sticker vignette (“Pickerl”) at petrol stations, tobacconists and motoring clubs.

The Austria vignette price depends on the validity period and the vehicle type. The official 2026 prices according to ASFINAG for cars: 1 day 9.60 € (digital only), 10 days 12.80 €, 2 months 32.00 € and 1 year 106.80 €. For motorcycles, the prices are 3.80 €, 5.10 €, 12.80 € and 42.70 €. The Vignette Flat Rate refers to the 10-day vignette for cars: instead, you pay a fixed price per month and activate the 10-day vignette yourself for each trip. The price comparison shows how this works out.

Yes, the digital vignette is valid as soon as the registration confirmation has been received, usually within a few minutes. You should only set off once you have this confirmation. With the 10-day vignette, you can freely choose the start day, including today if you wish. You can see whether a vignette is already registered in the free validity check.

You can buy the 10-day vignette shortly before your trip; it is valid once the registration has been confirmed. In any case, buy it before driving onto the motorway, because the vignette must already be valid when you use the road. You can freely choose the start day, and if you wish, the vignette is valid immediately.

Yes, ASFINAG offers a 1-day vignette. It is only available in digital form, costs 9.60 € for cars and 3.80 € for motorcycles in 2026, and is valid for one calendar day of your choice until 23:59. The europamaut Vignette Flat Rate does not include the day vignette, but the 10-day vignette for cars.

Yes, ASFINAG offers both. The 2026 annual vignette costs 106.80 € for cars and 42.70 € for motorcycles and is valid from 1 December 2025 to 31 January 2027. The 2-month vignette costs 32.00 € for cars and 12.80 € for motorcycles. When bought online, both are valid for consumers no earlier than the 18th day after purchase. The europamaut Vignette Flat Rate includes neither the annual nor the 2-month vignette, but the 10-day vignette for cars.

The official ASFINAG 10-day vignette costs 12.80 € for cars and 5.10 € for motorcycles in 2026. It is valid for ten consecutive calendar days, with the start day counting as the first day. This is exactly the vignette for cars that you get with the Vignette Flat Rate: unlimited 10-day vignettes for Austria at a fixed price per month, and the Vignette Flat Rate automatically also applies to other European toll countries. More on the page 10-day vignette Austria.

The “Pickerl” is the classic sticker vignette: it is affixed to the windshield and bought in stores. The digital vignette is purchased online and registered directly to your license plate, with no sticker at all. With the Vignette Flat Rate, you book digital vignettes exclusively. Incidentally, in Austria the sticker from the periodic vehicle inspection is also called “Pickerl”; it has nothing to do with the motorway vignette.

No. The 2026 sticker vignette is the last one: vignettes valid from 1 December 2026 onwards will only be available in digital form. A 2026 annual sticker vignette that has already been bought remains valid until 31 January 2027.

Some motorway sections directly past the border are exempt from the vignette: the A 1 between Walserberg and Salzburg Nord, the A 12 up to Kufstein-Süd and the A 14 up to Hohenems. Beyond these, you need a valid vignette, as you do on all other motorways and expressways. No vignette is required on ordinary country roads; more on this under Routes without a vignette requirement.

Motorcycles need their own vignette, which is cheaper than the car vignette (2026: 5.10 € for 10 days). Trailers behind vehicles up to 3.5 t GVW do not need their own vignette; the towing vehicle is what counts. Motorhomes up to 3.5 t GVW need the car vignette; above that, the GO toll applies instead, more on this under Vignette for motorhomes. The Vignette Flat Rate refers to the 10-day vignette for cars. All details on the vehicle classes in Austria.

Vignette prices in Austria are set uniformly by ordinance (see price table), and the official price list does not provide for a member discount. You should check with the respective provider before buying whether a sales partner charges additional fees. At europamaut, you pay a fixed flat price per month for the Vignette Flat Rate; the price comparison shows how it compares with a single vignette.

No, the vignette must already be valid before you drive onto the motorway; a vignette bought afterwards does not apply retroactively. Anyone checked without a valid vignette must pay a replacement toll of 200 € (motorcycle 100 €). The replacement toll does not replace the vignette; it only entitles you to continue your journey on the day of the check and the following day. If it is not paid, administrative penal proceedings follow, with a fine of 300 to 3,000 €.

The digital vignette is only valid for the license plate and the country of registration that were specified during registration. Please therefore check both details in the confirmation. In the event of a typo, please contact our customer service immediately, ideally before the vignette's validity begins.

Yes, on certain routes you pay a separate route toll, for example on the A 9 Pyhrn (Gleinalm and Bosruck tunnels), A 10 Tauern (Tauern and Katschberg tunnels), A 11 Karawanken, A 13 Brenner and S 16 Arlberg. The vignette requirement does not apply there; on the rest of the motorway network, you still need the vignette. More on this under Special tolls and route tolls in Austria.

No. By booking the Vignette Flat Rate, you initially activate a vignette for the selected country and the specified period. Within the Vignette Flat Rate, you can and must activate vignettes for all further countries and travel periods. Without activating the vignettes, you are not authorized to use toll roads in the respective countries.

Yes, you can cancel the Vignette Flat Rate at any time. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
