The vignette for 2022 will be valid on Austrian motorways from December 1st. The digital version can be purchased not only at various official points of sale, but also online. Dubious providers take advantage of this and offer them unjustifiably at higher prices.

ASFINAG or the ÖAMTC repeatedly refer to dubious providers of motorway vignettes. Such dubious websites are also reported to us. For example, you should currently avoid digital-vignette.online.

Lack of transparency and legal certainty on digital-vignette.online!

Websites appear again and again that sell the Austrian vignette for a higher price than the annual standard price. This also includes the website digital-vignette.online. Here the annual vignette costs 106.90 euros instead of 93.80. The 10-day and 2-month vignettes are also significantly more expensive from dubious providers.

The providers explain the increased price by saying that digital-vignette.online takes over the registration of your vehicle license plate with ASFINAG and charges fees for this. The dubious providers also lure you with the fact that the digital vignette is valid immediately.

According to consumer experience, you actually receive a vignette after a purchase. We still advise against purchasing for the following reasons:

  • Incomplete imprint: The website digital-vignette.online does not have a complete imprint. So you don't know who is behind the site. This makes it difficult for you to enforce your rights if problems arise.
  • Based abroad: The website operators are based in the Philippines.
    This can also lead to problems enforcing your rights. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal: For online purchases there is a 14-day right of withdrawal or withdrawal. This probably also applies to a vignette that is already valid. Only the duration of the contract used would have to be paid, i.e. only the portion up to the point of withdrawal from the contract. The rest would have to be paid out to you pro rata in the event of cancellation. However, on digital-vignette.com the right of withdrawal is completely excluded if the vehicle license plate has already been registered with ASFINAG.
  • Unjustified higher costs: The higher costs are not justified and are not made transparent. Always compare prices beforehand!

Use official shops!

There is no reason why you should buy the vignette from a dubious provider. Because: You can buy a vignette in every tobacconist, at some gas stations and at the ÖAMTC online shop, which is valid immediately.

Registering your vehicle license plate with ASFINAG also works automatically and costs you nothing.

You also have reputable contacts at the official shops and know that you can assert your rights as a consumer!
