European road trips — every vignette, already worked out

Tip: The 10-day Austrian vignette covers both the outbound and return journey if your trip is under 10 days. The Brenner section toll is separate — pay it at the booth or buy a digital ticket in advance.

Tip: Slovenia has no 1-day option — the 7-day vignette is the minimum. If you’re spending more than a week in Croatia and returning via Slovenia, buy a 1-month Slovenian vignette (€32.00) to cover both crossings.

Tip: Hungary’s 1-day vignette expires at midnight, not 24 hours from purchase. If you’re arriving in the afternoon, buy the 10-day option to avoid the trap.

Tip: Switzerland has no short-term vignette — the annual is the only product, even for a single day. It’s valid for 14 months (1 Dec 2025 – 31 Jan 2027), so if you plan to return within that period, you’re already covered.

Tip: No vignettes needed. Norway uses the AutoPASS system — electronic tolls on roads and tunnels, charged automatically to your plate. Check the operator’s current information for visitors before you travel.

Tip: Romania’s rovinieta is not limited to motorways: it covers every national (DN) road and expressway, except the stretches inside the larger cities (municipii) — in practice, almost every intercity route. The price depends on the EURO emission class; the table shows the highest car tariff (Euro 0–3).

Tip: From Slovenia southward, all countries use toll barriers — no more vignettes needed. Budget for barrier tolls in Croatia (~€26.00 Zagreb to Split) and Greece (~€15.00–€30.00 depending on route).

Tip: France has no vignette — you pay per section at toll barriers (péage). Budget ~€50.00–€80.00 for the drive from Calais to the Swiss border depending on your route.

Tip: If you’re exploring Transylvania for more than 10 days, the 30-day Romanian rovinieta (€11.59 (RON 62) for a Euro 0–3 car) costs less than two 10-day ones (€14.58) — and that holds in every EURO class. Romania’s rovinieta covers all national roads, not just motorways.

Tip: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have no vignette requirement for cars, and none of the four countries sells one. Poland tolls parts of the A1, A2 and A4 — check your actual route before departure.

Tip: No vignettes on this route. France and Spain use barrier tolls (pay per section). Portugal uses electronic tolls (Via Verde) on most motorways — check the operator’s current options for visitors before you travel.
