The special toll refers to special toll routes. These special toll routes are often tunnels or mountain pass roads, which are associated with higher construction and maintenance costs. The construction of tunnels leads to greater technical challenges, which at the same time cause high costs due to specialized machinery and technologies.

Who has to pay the special toll?

An additional fee must be paid to use the special toll routes, since the special toll routes in Romania are exempt from the vignette requirement but are still subject to tolls. This means that, regardless of whether you have already purchased a vignette, you must pay an additional amount for certain tunnels and mountain pass roads. Please note that most special toll routes can only be reached via access roads subject to the vignette requirement. Therefore, it always makes sense to purchase a vignette regardless of the special toll route. By the way: a distance-based toll does not exist in Romania.

Which routes are subject to the special toll?

The special toll routes in Romania include the Danube crossings. The Danube flows within Romania and separates the two countries (Romania and Bulgaria) from each other. If you want to use one of the many bridges or the ferry to cross, additional fees will apply.
