Vignette Requirement in Austria
Austria has required a vignette on most motorways and expressways since 1997. The vignette – commonly known as the motorway vignette or "Pickerl" – is mandatory for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes of technically permissible gross weight (tzGm), regardless of whether you're passing through briefly or taking a longer trip.
Sticker Vignette ("Pickerl") or Digital Vignette (e-vignette)?
The classic sticker vignette is affixed to the windshield and sold in stores. The digital vignette – also called an e-vignette – is instead purchased online and registered directly to your license plate, with no sticker at all. With the Europamaut flat rate, you exclusively book digital vignettes, which become valid as soon as your registration is confirmed.
Section Tolls (Video Tolling) on Special Toll Routes
On certain sections, such as the Brenner Tunnel or the Karawanken Tunnel, the vignette alone is not enough – an additional section toll (video tolling) applies here. These special toll routes must be paid regardless of the vignette requirement.
Which Vehicles Need a Vignette?
The vignette requirement depends on the vehicle's technically permissible gross weight (tzGm):
- Motorcycles need their own motorcycle vignette.
- Cars and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes tzGm need the standard car vignette.
- Combinations (car with trailer) may need a second vignette for the trailer, depending on total weight.
- Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes tzGm (trucks) are subject to their own distance-based tolling instead of the vignette.
Validity and Checks
The digital vignette is valid as soon as the registration is confirmed – usually within a short time after purchase. You can check at any time, free of charge, whether a valid vignette is currently registered to a given license plate using a validity check.
Costs and Penalties for Missing a Vignette
The cost of the digital Austria vignette depends on the duration and vehicle category – you'll find the prices in the overview above. Anyone driving on toll roads without a valid vignette risks an additional replacement toll of at least EUR 120 – which, depending on the case, can be as much as EUR 3,000.
