Where to go from Belgium — the vignettes each destination needs

Germany and Luxembourg have no motorway toll for passenger cars. The Netherlands has no national vignette, but the A24 Blankenburg connection uses electronic e-TOL. France has no vignette either: tolled sections use barriers or free-flow collection. Vignette requirements further along depend on your destination and the roads you actually use.

No car vignette is required in Belgium today. If your trip takes place in 2027 or later, see the verified status of the planned Belgian road vignette from May 2027.

Destinations and what they require

On French free-flow sections (A79, A13/A14 and the Boulay exit on A4), pay within 72 hours unless an electronic toll subscription or automatic payment covers the trip. The Dutch A24 also has no barriers: pay e-TOL within three days. Italian free-flow sections have operator-specific payment rules; check the actual road, rather than assuming you can pay at a barrier.

Durations do not match from one country to the next

Switzerland sells only an annual vignette, so a single transit costs the same as a full year. The other countries sell short products, but not the same ones: Austria sells 1-day, 10-day, 2-month and annual vignettes; Slovenia 1-week, 1-month and annual; Hungary 1-day, 10-day, 1-month and annual; the Czech Republic 1-day, 10-day, 30-day and annual. There is no 10-day vignette in Slovenia and no one-week vignette in Austria — the classic mistake on a trip that chains the two, and it costs you on the return leg, not on the way out.

Before you leave

Start from the destination, identify the real corridor, then check which durations each country on it actually sells. The vignette checker lists the obligations for your countries and vehicle, and the route planner adds the prices for your length of stay. Current prices and vehicle classes: Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Hungary, Czech Republic.
