Vignette required roads
In Slovakia, there are numerous stretches subject to vignette requirements. In order to use them, you must therefore purchase a vignette in advance. If you use vignette-required roads without a vignette, fines may be imposed. Therefore, avoid this risk and take note of the vignette-required roads.
Digital vignette
A vignette requirement applies to nearly all motorway and expressway sections in Slovakia. Sections without fees are marked with signs displaying "BEZ ÚHRADY". The digital vignette (also known as the e-vignette) for Slovak motorways and expressways has replaced the original sticker vignette and has existed since 2020.
Not every vehicle is subject to the vignette requirement. Alongside the vignette requirement, there is also distance-based tolling in Slovenia. For more information on the various vehicle classes and when your vehicle is subject to a vignette requirement or distance-based tolling, please see our article on vehicle classes and on tolls in Slovakia.
