Slovenia Vignette

You need a valid e-vinjeta for every Slovenian motorway (avtocesta) and expressway, fully digitally linked to your number plate since December 2021, so no sticker is needed. Even for a short transit to Croatia, a valid Slovenian vignette is mandatory.

Prices & validity periods

Our price includes the service fee for direct, digital linking to your number plate, with support in English. No hidden costs at checkout. Note: Slovenia has no day vignette. The shortest validity period is 7 days.

Class 2A or 2B: how is this determined? DARS classifies cars and motorhomes based on their height above the front axle: up to 1.30 metres falls into the cheaper class 2A (most cars, estates and SUVs), from 1.30 metres into the more expensive class 2B (vans, light commercial vehicles and most motorhomes/campervans). Some vehicles officially registered as motorhomes with fixed living accommodation may qualify for the cheaper 2A rate, but this isn't guaranteed for every vehicle. For motorhomes we apply the 2B rate by default, as the safe, correct choice. If in doubt, check your vehicle's official DARS classification before purchase.
⚖️
Only up to 3,500 kg: the Slovenian vignette system applies only to vehicles (with or without trailer) up to a maximum permitted weight of 3,500 kg. Heavier motorhomes and commercial vehicles don't fall under the vignette, but under the separate DarsGo distance-based toll.
Transiting to Croatia? Watch out for a common mix-up. Croatia has no vignette requirement on its motorways, but Slovenia does. If you're driving through Slovenia to Croatia, say via Austria or Hungary, you still need a valid Slovenian vignette, even for a transit of under an hour, since Slovenia has no day vignette and the shortest option is 7 days. So buy your vignette in good time, even if Slovenia isn't your final destination.

What if I don't have a valid vignette?

Checks are carried out automatically via number-plate recognition (ANPR cameras) at the on- and off-ramps of the Slovenian motorway. Without a valid e-vinjeta you risk a fine that can be considerably higher than in neighbouring countries like Austria. Expect several hundred euros. So make sure your vignette is active before you enter the Slovenian motorway, even if you're only passing through.

Which vehicles does this vignette cover?

The e-vinjeta covers cars, motorcycles and motorhomes (with or without a trailer) up to 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight, classified as class 2A or 2B based on height above the front axle. If your vehicle is heavier than 3,500 kg, it isn't covered by this vignette but falls under DarsGo, Slovenia's distance-based toll for heavy traffic with an on-board unit. A light trailer or caravan without its own number plate is covered under the towing car's vignette; if your trailer does have its own number plate, check whether it needs a separate registration. The vignette covers the entire Slovenian motorway and expressway network (avtoceste and hitre ceste); a few individual stretches, such as certain tunnels, may carry an additional, separate toll.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the Slovenia vignette

Do I need to buy a vignette even if I'm only driving through Slovenia briefly or in transit?+

Yes. As soon as you use the Slovenian motorway (avtocesta) or expressway, even for a brief transit towards, say, Croatia, a valid e-vinjeta is mandatory. Slovenia has no day vignette; the shortest validity period is 7 days, even for a one-hour drive.

What does it cost if I'm checked without a valid e-vinjeta?+

Driving without a valid vignette is punished in Slovenia with a fine starting at around € 300, sometimes with a discount for prompt payment. This is well above the price of even the most expensive vignette. Checks are carried out automatically via number-plate recognition cameras (ANPR) at the motorway on- and off-ramps.

Does the vignette apply to all Slovenian roads, or just the motorway?+

The vignette covers the entire Slovenian motorway and expressway network (avtoceste and hitre ceste). No vignette is needed on ordinary roads outside this network. A few individual stretches, such as certain tunnels, may carry an additional, separate toll, so check this if you're taking a less common route.

What's the difference between class 2A and 2B?+

Class 2A applies to vehicles up to 3,500 kg with a height up to 1.30 metres above the front axle, which covers most cars, estates and SUVs. Class 2B applies to vehicles up to 3,500 kg that are taller than 1.30 metres above the front axle, which covers most motorhomes and vans. Class 2B is more expensive than 2A.

Does my motorhome fall under class 2A or 2B?+

That depends on the height of your motorhome, measured above the front axle. If it's taller than 1.30 metres, which is the case for most motorhomes, you fall under class 2B. Not sure? Then choose class 2B to be safe: if your vehicle is registered under too low a class, a check can result in a fine as if you had no vignette at all.

My vehicle is heavier than 3,500 kg — does this vignette still apply?+

No. The Slovenian vignette system applies only to vehicles up to 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight. If your vehicle is heavier, it falls under DarsGo, Slovenia's distance-based toll for heavy traffic with an on-board unit.

Does my Slovenian vignette also cover Croatia?+

No. Croatia doesn't use a vignette but toll booths, where you pay per distance driven (a ticket on entry, paying on exit). So your Slovenian vignette isn't valid in Croatia, and conversely, you don't need a vignette in Croatia.

I'm travelling on to Greece or Turkey — does my Slovenian vignette cover that too?+

No, the Slovenian vignette only applies within Slovenia itself. If you travel on via Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia or Greece to Turkey, each of those countries has its own, different toll system, often toll booths instead of a vignette. Check in advance for each country you'll be crossing.

Is the physical sticker still mandatory, or is the digital e-vinjeta enough?+

Since 1 December 2021, the e-vinjeta is fully digital and linked to your number plate; there's no physical sticker anymore. So you don't need to stick anything to your windscreen; checks are carried out entirely via number-plate recognition cameras along the motorway.

Does a motorcycle pay the same as a car?+

No, motorcycles in Slovenia have their own, lower rate and their own validity periods: 7 days, half a year or a year. A 1-month vignette doesn't exist for motorcycles; that's only available for cars.

Why isn't there a 1-day vignette for Slovenia?+

Unlike, say, Austria, Slovenia has no day vignette. The shortest validity period is 7 days, even if you're only planning a single day or a brief transit through Slovenia.

Does my trailer or caravan need its own vignette?+

A light trailer or caravan without its own number plate is covered under the towing car's vignette — no separate vignette is needed for it. If your trailer does have its own number plate, check whether a separate registration is required for it.

I'm renting a car in or via Slovenia — do I need to arrange a vignette myself?+

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 number plate once you pick up the keys — check it carefully and only order the vignette once you're sure it matches the rental car's registration document.

I drive a lease car — does my vignette stay valid after a number plate change?+

No, a vignette is linked to one specific number plate. If your lease car changes (and the number plate with it), a vignette on the old number plate isn't automatically valid for the new car. If you've recently had a change, always check that the number plate on your vignette still matches your current car.

Can I use one vignette for multiple number plates?+

No, a vignette is always linked to one specific number plate. If you drive through Slovenia with several vehicles, each vehicle needs its own e-vinjeta.
