Digital Vignette Czech Republic
To cover the costs of maintaining motorways and expressways in the Czech Republic, a vignette requirement applies. Since January 2021, the vignette in the Czech Republic is only available digitally; sticker vignettes are no longer issued.
A vignette is a mandatory proof of payment for most motorways and expressways in the Czech Republic. It must be purchased and registered to the license plate of cars, motorhomes, and trucks (vehicles with at least four wheels and a permissible total weight of up to 3.5 tonnes). Vehicles with a permissible total weight of more than 3.5 tonnes require an electronic transmitter unit (On-Board Unit 5051).
You can obtain the digital vignette from us for all available validity periods. You can purchase your e-vignette as a 10-day vignette, 30-day vignette, or annual vignette. Since March 2024, a 1-day vignette is also available. The ordering process is simple and intuitive, allowing you to conveniently register your vignette online to your license plate.
When do I need a digital vignette in the Czech Republic?
Whether you need a digital vignette in the Czech Republic depends on which motorways or expressways you use during your journey.
When should I buy my digital vignette?
Since there is no waiting period until validity when purchasing in our online shop, you can also buy your digital vignette shortly before starting your trip. However, it is important that you do not set off until you have received the registration confirmation.
Is the digital vignette tax-free?
No. Taxes are levied on the price of the digital vignette, which are already included in the stated price.
Which digital vignette do I need for the trip from Germany to the Czech Republic?
Depending on the length of your stay, you will need a 10-day, 30-day, or annual vignette for the Czech Republic. Since March 2024, a 1-day vignette is also available. Since most motorways and expressways in the Czech Republic may only be used without penalty if a valid vignette is held, this also applies to trips to cities such as Prague, Pilsen, Karlsbad, Budweis, or Brno.
