Digital Vignette Slovenia
Why buy the digital vignette for Slovenia online?
As in many other countries, Slovenia also has toll roads. However, something that isn't so common: since 2022, the vignette has only been available digitally. The so-called E-Vinjeta makes things much easier for all drivers in Slovenia. With us, you can get the digital vignette - in just a few steps and instantly as a download.
How do I get the E-vignette for Slovenia?
You can get the E-Vinjeta directly here with us. Our online shop guides you step by step through the process. In any case, you will need to provide the following information:
Your vehicle registration number
The country of registration
The toll class of your vehicle
The validity period
Your current email address
As soon as the order process is complete, you will receive a confirmation from us. This will be sent to you by email. Once you have received the vignette from us, it is valid immediately and you can use Slovenia's toll roads without any problems.
Choosing the right vehicle class
In Slovenia there are different vehicle classes. These are based, among other things, on the size of the vehicles. This results in the following classes:
Class 1: This includes motorcycles and scooters. The decisive factor is whether they are single-track, meaning all their wheels are arranged one behind the other.
Class 2A: Includes all ordinary cars. There are two requirements for this class: First, the permissible total weight must not exceed 3.5 t gross vehicle weight. Second, the height at the front axle must not exceed 1.3 m. Larger SUVs and minivans therefore also belong to this class if they meet both requirements.
Class 2B: Larger vehicles that do not meet the requirements of Class 2A but are not yet heavy vehicles fall into Class 2B. These are, for example, vans and delivery trucks.
Heavy vehicles: For anything that is also too large and heavy for Class 2B, the digital vignette is not sufficient. Instead, you must pay a distance-based toll and purchase an on-board unit (DarsGo transponder) for this. The costs are then calculated based on kilometers driven, the number of axles, and the Euro emission class.
And one more tip: If you're not sure which class your vehicle falls into, it's worth taking a look at the relevant list from the Slovenian motorway company DARS. Here you will find a (non-exhaustive) list of vehicles and their corresponding classes. You can also find further information in our article on vehicle classes and tolls in Slovenia.
How much does the vignette cost in Slovenia
You can purchase the digital vignette either online in advance or at petrol stations near the border and DARS sales points. However, it is advisable to take care of the vignette before starting your journey. This way, you save time and hassle on the road. So get your digital vignette from us now.
Penalty for driving without a vignette
Anyone who does not comply with the vignette requirement for motorways and expressways must expect fines. These range from €300 to €800. The amount depends on how long you have already been driving on a toll road without a vignette and what type of vehicle you are driving. Repeat offenders who have already been caught within the last 24 months are often charged even more.
Monitoring is carried out by vehicles as well as permanently installed cameras. You shouldn't hope for lax controls here either. In Slovenia, the police strictly monitor such violations. Anyone who is unable or unwilling to pay must expect their driver's license to be confiscated until the fine is paid. Compared to these (quite hefty) fines, the cost of the vignette is a drop in the ocean.
Good to know: The E-vignette only applies to a specific vehicle, as it is tied to the license plate. So it's not possible to change cars during your trip to Slovenia without buying another vignette.
Can you bypass the motorways in Slovenia?
We advise against it. Not only are the alternative routes often poorly signposted, but they also simply take much longer. In addition, many areas in the immediate vicinity of motorways are also subject to tolls. This applies, for example, to roundabouts. Especially in these border areas, the police are particularly vigilant and can impose fines. It doesn't matter at all whether you accidentally end up in such an area - you'll still have to pay.
