If your vacation is going to Austria, Romania, Slovenia, Switzerland or Slovakia, for example, or if you are driving through one of these countries, a vignette is mandatory .
In addition to the official sales portals, there are also other sites on the Internet where vignettes are available. We already warned in December of last year that some of these sites charge a surcharge for various additional administrative services ( HERE ). According to providers, this includes registering the respective license plate in the toll system of the selected country.
“First of all, it should be noted that these portals are not illegal. However, they don't actually sell the vignettes directly, but rather offer registration of the license plate - for a fee, of course. This means that a vignette via such a portal can cost almost 70 percent more than from an official provider.”

Compare prices!
This additional cost is an unnecessary expense.
Therefore, you should definitely compare the prices before making a purchase. You will quickly notice that the official providers such as ADAC, in Austria ÖAMTC or ASFINAG do not charge any additional costs. Therefore, there is simply no reason to buy on other internet portals.
Official points of sale
- Austria (adhesive and digital vignette): ÖAMTC , ASFINAG , ADAC
- Bulgaria: web.bgtoll.bg
- Moldova: vinieta.gov.md
- Romania: roviniete.ro
- Switzerland (adhesive vignette): ÖAMTC , ADAC , in Switzerland (e.g. at customs, at gas stations, at TCS etc.)
- Slovakia: eznamka.sk
- Slovenia: evinjeta.dars.si , at ÖAMTC and in all ADAC sales outlets
- Czech Republic: edalnice.cz
- Hungary: ematrica.nemzetiutdij.hu , at ÖAMTC Shops in Austria (City Shop Schubertring and ÖAMTC Nickelsdorf)
In this way, you can save unnecessary costs before you start your trip, which you can then invest in ice cream, a cool drink or a typical local snack at your holiday destination.
