Frequently asked questions

The vignette is the charge for using motorways and expressways. In Slovakia it is mandatory for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes once you drive onto tolled roads. Without a valid vignette you risk a fine — cameras on the toll gantries scan number plates automatically.

No. In Slovakia the vignette is fully electronic (e-vignette). You stick nothing on. The system links the charge to the number plate and checks it automatically by camera.

Slovakia: 1 day, 10 days, 30 days or a year. You choose what suits your trip — for a weekend in the High Tatras a short one is enough, for frequent trips the annual vignette pays off.

Yes. At purchase you choose the date the validity begins — today or in a few weeks or months. Useful when you plan a trip in advance.

You choose the period, enter the number plate, country of registration, start date and email, and pay. The whole thing takes about two minutes. No account needed. You receive the confirmation by email.

Card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payments are processed via Stripe — the same provider used by major online shops.

You pay in euros (EUR). The vignette prices for Slovakia are set in euro; the final amount is shown at checkout.

Our price may be higher than in the official system, because the price includes the vignette and order handling (purchase, processing, customer support). You can buy the vignette directly at eznamka.sk at any time.

After payment we register the vignette in the official system — you receive a confirmation with the vignette details by email, usually within 2–3 minutes of payment. For a future start date, the vignette is valid from that date.

The cheapest 1-day vignette costs from 14,95 €. Also available are 10 days, 30 days and a year (112,95 €). You will find the exact prices on the Slovakia Vignette page and in the Pricing.

The vignette applies on motorways (D) and expressways (R), including the route from Bratislava towards the High Tatras and on to the east of the country. Lower-category roads are free.

The on-the-spot fine is €150, and in administrative proceedings it can reach up to €500. Enforcement is automatic — cameras scan number plates around the clock.

We process orders 24/7, 365 days a year. After payment your vignette is registered in the official eznamka.sk system and you get the confirmation by email, usually within 2–3 minutes.

No. In Slovakia motorcycles are exempt from the charge — no vignette needed. This applies only to motorcycles; every vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes needs a vignette.

Cars and vans up to 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass — cars, SUVs, vans, motorhomes up to that weight. We do not support heavier vehicles (trucks are charged through a different system — myto).

If the combination stays under 3.5 tonnes, the vignette for the vehicle is enough; a motorhome up to 3.5 t is treated like a car. However, if the combination with a trailer exceeds 3.5 tonnes, a separate vignette for the trailer is required in Slovakia (same price as for the vehicle) — write to us and we will advise you.

Write to us as soon as possible at info@e-znamka.org with the order number and the correct number plate. As long as the vignette has not yet been registered, we will try to correct the data. After registration a change may be impossible — so check the data before payment.

The vignette is a digital service provided immediately, so the right of withdrawal lapses on registration (you agree to this at purchase). If the order has not yet been fulfilled, write to us — we will check the options.

Check the spam and promotions folders. If the email is missing after a few minutes, write to info@e-znamka.org with the number plate and the email address used at purchase — we will check the status of the order.

No. We are an independent, commercial intermediary service. We are not connected with any authority or toll operator. The official system is eznamka.sk — you can also buy the vignette there yourself.

Many routes to Croatia run via Austria. If, however, your route runs through Slovakia and Hungary, you need a Slovak vignette. With us you buy only the vignette for Slovakia — Hungary, Slovenia or Croatia are charged separately in their own systems. If you travel via the Czech Republic, you can get the Czech vignette on e-dalnice.org.

On Slovak motorways (e.g. the D1 from Bratislava heading east) you need a Slovak vignette. Note that the other countries on the route (Hungary, Slovenia, Austria) have their own vignettes — buy these before entry in their official systems.

Yes. The vignette applies across the entire tolled network, whether you drive one kilometre or 300 km. Even a short motorway drive without a vignette is a fine risk. The cheapest 1-day vignette is usually far cheaper than a fine.

No. Each country has its own vignette. The Slovak one is valid only in Slovakia. For Austria or Hungary you need a separate vignette for those countries — we do not offer them, buy them in the official systems (asfinag.at, nemzetiutdij.hu).

Online, in advance — before you set off. That way you have the vignette ready before you reach the border, and you do not need to look for a petrol station or sales point on the way. You can set the start date to your departure day.

Yes. The vignette is linked to the number plate, not the owner. Whether the car is yours, leased or financed makes no difference — you enter the number plate, done.

The vignette is linked to the number plate of the vehicle, not to the driver or the company. You enter the number plate of the company car and it works just like a private vehicle.

Check the rental agreement — some rental companies charge for the vignette, some do not. If not, buy it yourself and enter the number plate of the rental car. The vignette applies regardless of who owns the vehicle.

The vignette is linked to a specific number plate. After a plate change, the old vignette no longer applies to the new plate. If you are still planning this, buy the vignette for the current plate or wait for the new one.

The vignette stays linked to the number plate. If the new owner keeps the same plate, the vignette continues to apply. With a plate change it lapses for the old plate.

Yes. Orders are processed automatically around the clock. After payment we register the vignette in the official system within 2 minutes of payment being received, regardless of the time. The confirmation comes by email.

After purchase you receive an email with confirmation and vignette details (number plate, country, period). You can also check the status in the official eznamka.sk system using the number plate.

You receive an electronic purchase confirmation by email with the amount and order details — it serves as proof of purchase.

There are no longer fixed border checks within the Schengen area. The vignette is checked by cameras on the toll gantries along the motorways — they scan number plates automatically, around the clock.

After the vignette expires, continuing on tolled roads is a fine risk. If you return after a longer stay, buy a new vignette with the start date on the return day — this can be done online from anywhere.

In Slovakia the annual (365-day) vignette is valid for 365 days from the chosen start date, regardless of the purchase date. At purchase you always see the validity period.
