To use the Romanian national road network and motorways, you need a valid rovinieta. It's linked digitally to your licence plate via the system of road authority CNAIR, so there's no sticker needed anymore.
Our price includes the service fee for immediate, digital linking to your licence plate in English, with no hidden costs at checkout. We currently offer the rovinieta for passenger cars up to 3.5 tonnes; motorhome and motorcycle vignettes will follow at a later date.

As with Bulgaria: the Romanian rovinieta isn't limited to the motorways (autostrăzi). It applies to virtually the entire national road network (drumuri naționale), including the through-roads between towns and cities. So if you drive outside the motorway, you'll usually still need a valid rovinieta in Romania. If in doubt, check the current status of your route.
Checks are carried out via roadside cameras that automatically check licence plates against the CNAIR database, supplemented by checks from the road police. Without a valid rovinieta you risk a substantial fine, so it's best to buy your vignette in advance before crossing the border.
As with the other countries on this site, the car up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight is the base category on which rovinieta prices are based. If your vehicle is heavier, it's no longer covered by the regular rovinieta but falls under a separate, distance-based toll system for heavier traffic. We currently offer the rovinieta for cars up to 3.5 tonnes; motorhome and motorcycle vignettes will follow at a later date. A light trailer or caravan without its own licence plate is covered under the towing car's rovinieta; if your trailer does have its own licence plate, check whether it needs a separate registration.
Yes. As soon as you use the Romanian road network, even for a brief transit towards, say, Bulgaria or Moldova, you need a valid rovinieta. For a short transit, the 1-day vignette is perfectly sufficient.
No, not just the motorways. The Romanian rovinieta applies to virtually the entire national road network (drumuri naționale), including the through-roads between towns and cities. So if you drive outside the motorway, you'll usually still need a valid rovinieta in Romania. If in doubt, check the current status of your route.

No. The Romanian rovinieta is registered entirely electronically based on your licence plate with road authority CNAIR. There's no more sticker on the windscreen; checks are carried out via the licence plate.
At the moment, we offer the rovinieta for cars up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight. Motorhome and motorcycle vignettes for Romania will follow at a later date.

A light trailer or caravan without its own licence plate is, as in most other countries on this site, covered under the towing car's rovinieta — no separate rovinieta is needed for it. If your trailer does have its own licence plate, check whether a separate registration is required for it.
Besides your licence plate and the validity period you choose, the order process for Romania also asks for your vehicle's chassis number (VIN). This is a requirement of the Romanian registration itself, so make sure you have it to hand before you order.
Yes, for every validity period, including the 1-day vignette. There's no validity period for Romania that you can order without a chassis number.
This is a requirement of the Romanian registration system itself, not of EuropeVignettes.eu. For most other countries on this site, only your licence plate is needed; for Romania, the rovinieta is always registered partly on the basis of the chassis number too.
In practice, you as the driver are responsible for this yourself, unless the rental company explicitly arranges it for you. You usually only find out the exact licence plate once you pick up the keys — check it carefully and only order the rovinieta once you're sure that both the licence plate and chassis number match the rental car's registration document.
No, a rovinieta is linked to one specific licence plate. If your lease car changes (and the licence plate with it), a rovinieta on the old plate isn't automatically valid for the new car.
No, a rovinieta is always linked to one specific licence plate. If you drive through Romania with several vehicles, each vehicle needs its own rovinieta.
Quite possibly. For many travellers, Romania is a transit country on the way to Bulgaria or Moldova. Both countries have their own, separate vignette (the e-vinieta in Moldova), which you need to buy separately from your Romanian rovinieta.
Once your rovinieta has been activated and registered with CNAIR, the service has been delivered and the statutory right of withdrawal generally no longer applies, similar to other digital services delivered immediately. If you run into a problem, always contact us; we'll look at what's possible on a case-by-case basis.
