Slovakia motorway vignette 2026: prices & rules

For uninterrupted coverage, choose the next 365-day vignette to start the day after the current one expires.

Slovakia enforces the vignette system with ANPR cameras and roadside checks. If the plate is not matched to a valid vignette, a toll offence can be recorded and followed up by post or during a control.

Paying a fine does not remove the need to buy the correct vignette for the rest of the route.

Not for the driving itself. Under Act No. 488/2013 Coll. on the motorway vignette, § 10(1) makes it an offence for a driver to use the specified motorway sections without the vignette having been paid. There is no exception for a short stretch, a wrong turn or a first mistake, and buying afterwards does not undo the trip.

Data mistakes are handled under § 5(4) and the current eZnamka terms, Articles VI, VII and X. Incorrect data counts as failure to pay unless corrected under those terms:

For an online or mobile-app purchase, Article X(1) of the Slovak terms allows immediate data correction no later than the end of the payment calendar day or the validity start day. At the original staffed point of sale, the limit is 15 minutes from payment. This is different from cancellation; wait for the correction confirmation before driving.

The district authority issues the €150.00 camera order to the vehicle operator, with an information form also in an official language of the registration state for EU/EEA vehicles. Two-thirds counts as full payment if credited to the stated account within 15 days of delivery (§ 11(7)). Multiple detections of the same vehicle in one calendar month produce one fine in that separate order procedure (§ 11(3)); orders may be issued within two years (§ 11(6)). The 60-day period in § 10a(8) concerns initiation of general operator proceedings, not camera orders.

Roads requiring the e-vignette

The vignette applies only to designated sections of D1, D2, D3, D4 and R1, R2, R3, R4, R6, R7. Consult the official section list and map: not every D- or R-road section requires a vignette. Examples: D2 Kúty–Stupava, D4 Jarovce (Austrian border)–Bratislava-Jarovce and R7 Bratislava-Juh–Holice. The list marks D2 Brodské–Kúty and D1 Poprad-Východ–Spišský Štvrtok as temporarily exempt; check their status before departure.

Free roads — no e-vignette needed

Ordinary roads of classes I, II and III (cesty I., II. a III. triedy), local roads and urban streets do not require a vignette. Designated motorway bypasses and temporarily exempt sections are also vignette-free; check exact boundaries on the official map. These rules concern vignette vehicles, not the distance-based heavy-vehicle toll.
