Special Toll Romania
The special toll refers to special toll routes. These are individual routes such as tunnels, passes, or bridges for which an additional fee is charged on top of the vignette. In Romania there is neither a tunnel toll nor a pass toll. The Romanian bridge toll at the Danube bridges Fetești-Cernavodă, Giurgeni-Vadu Oii, and Giurgiu-Ruse (direction Bulgaria) will be abolished as of October 1, 2026. A special toll will continue to apply at the Calafat-Vidin Danube bridge.
Who has to pay the special toll?
As of October 1, 2026, you will no longer pay a bridge toll at the Danube bridges Fetești-Cernavodă and Giurgeni-Vadu Oii, nor at Giurgiu-Ruse in the direction of Bulgaria. A special toll will continue to apply at the Calafat-Vidin Danube bridge, in addition to the Rovinieta. It applies in both directions for all vehicles except motorcycles, with cars paying €6 per crossing. To use the roads subject to the vignette requirement, you will also still need a valid Rovinieta (e-vignette).
Which routes does the special toll apply to?
Until the end of September 2026, a bridge toll was charged at several Danube bridges. As of October 1, 2026, it will be abolished on the Romanian side at the Danube bridges Fetești-Cernavodă (A2) and Giurgeni-Vadu Oii. At the Friendship Bridge Giurgiu-Ruse between Romania and Bulgaria, the Romanian toll will be abolished in the direction of Bulgaria. In the opposite direction, i.e. from Ruse to Giurgiu, the Bulgarian toll will remain in place. The Danube bridge Calafat-Vidin will also remain subject to a toll. Anyone crossing the Danube by ferry pays the usual ferry fare. This is not a toll.
