About Autovig and how it works

Autovig is an editorial comparison hub for European motorway vignettes. It answers one question in as few clicks as possible: for the countries you are about to drive through, what do you need, what does it cost, and where do you get it from the official operator.

We do not sell vignettes. Every purchase link points to the country's own operator.

What is covered

Nine vignette countries are covered today, each tied to its national operator: Austria (ASFINAG), Switzerland (Federal Office for Customs and Border Security), Czech Republic (edalnice), Slovakia (eznamka), Slovenia (DARS), Hungary (Magyar Közút Toll Division), Romania (CNAIR), Bulgaria (BGTOLL) and Moldova (e-Vinieta).

For each of them a country page carries the same set of facts, so two countries can actually be compared side by side:

• the price for each vehicle class and each validity period, from the day pass to the annual vignette;
• whether the vignette is digital or still a windscreen sticker, and what that means at the border;
• when a vignette becomes valid after purchase — the difference between an instant activation and a waiting period is the most common reason travellers get fined;
• which roads the vignette actually covers, and which tunnels, bridges or section tolls are charged separately on top of it;

Route guides do the same job across a whole corridor, adding up what a specific journey requires rather than treating each country in isolation.

Where the numbers come from and how current they are

Every price is stored as structured data with the operator page it was read from and the date a person last checked it there. Prices older than 30 days fail an automated check, and country pages carry their own review deadline — 30, 60 or 90 days depending on how often that country changes its rules.

The full process, including what happens when the operator and this site disagree, is set out in our Transparency & Data Methodology. The short version: the operator's current portal price always wins, and our figure is the one that gets corrected.

Who is responsible for the content

Pages are written and reviewed by the Autovig editorial team. We hold no accreditation from any road authority, no partnership with any operator, and no licence to issue vignettes — what we offer is a sourced, dated comparison you can verify yourself before you drive. The legal identity of the publisher is stated in our Terms and Conditions.

If something on a page is wrong or out of date, tell us at contact@autovig.eu with the page URL and the sentence or table concerned. We check the report against the operator source before changing anything. Questions about an existing order, an activation or a refund have to go to the operator that issued the vignette — see Support and frequently asked questions for what we can and cannot help with.

What Autovig does not do

• It does not sell vignettes, take payments or hold orders — that happens on the operator's portal.
• It does not cover section tolls, tunnel and bridge charges or urban access schemes in the vignette prices; those are charged separately.
• It does not give legal advice. Checks, fines and appeals are decided by national authorities under their own rules.
• It does not present announced-but-not-yet-active schemes as fact. Where a country has agreed a future vignette — Belgium from 2027, for example — the figures are labelled as estimates with their source and current status.
