E-vignette Slovakia
Motorway tolls in Slovakia are collected through a digital vignette via the Eznamka payment system. The motorway vignette is linked to a vehicle registration number and can be purchased online from vintrica. You can pay for the electronic vignette quickly and easily using debit or a credit card. A confirmation will be sent to your e-mail address and, if you wish, you will receive a text message confirmation that you can show at a checkpoint.
Toll roads
Except for a few exceptions, all motorways and expressways in Slovakia are subject to tolls.
Motorways (diaľnica)
In Slovakia, a toll is required on approximately 435 kilometers of motorways. The planned motorway network covers around 700 km, with about 200 km currently under construction or in the planning stages. The Slovak digital vignette is required for the following motorways:
Expressways (rýchlostná cesta)
Since 2009, there has been a change in the signposting of expressways. The signs are now red and bear white road numbers consisting of a one-digit number in combination with a preceding “R”. Previously, only European road numbers or occasionally primary road numbers were indicated on the signs.
The planned total scope of the expressway network is 1,200 kilometres, but R2, R3 and R4 will share some sections with other expressways or motorways. Currently, 314 kilometres of expressways (excluding shared sections) are operational and 18 kilometres are under construction.
Exemptions
Since 1 August 2024, the motorway bypasses of the cities Bratislava, Nitra, Košice, Prešov, Poprad, and Žilina are exempt from the vignette requirement. This aims to divert traffic from city centres and help reduce congestion and air pollution.
Motorcycles are generally not subject to tolls in Slovakia.

Vignette regulations for vehicles with a total weight of less than 3.5 t
In Slovakia, vehicles are divided into two types for toll purposes. A distinction is made between cars, campervans, vans under 3.5 tonnes and trailers.
All vehicles with a permissible total weight of 3.5 tonnes, especially passenger cars and campervans, are subject to toll regulations in Slovakia. Vehicles with less than four tyres do not need a vignette (motorbikes and trikes).
Regulations for trailers
If your vehicle including trailer exceeds the permissible total weight of 3.5 t, you need an additional e-vignette for your trailer. The validity periods of the two vignettes do not have to be exactly the same. If the towing vehicle including your trailer has a total weight of less than 3.5 tonnes, you do not need an additional vignette for the trailer.
Prices and validity periods
You can choose between the following validity periods:
- 1 day
- 10 days
- 30 days
- 365 days
The vignettes are always valid up to and including the last day (23:59) of the selected period. Annual vignettes 2025 cannot be registered retroactively and are always valid from purchase until 31 January of the following year. The 365-day vignette is valid for 365 days, the validity period is up to you.
However, it is not possible to purchase an additional vignette for the same or an overlapping period if a valid vignette is already registered for the vehicle.
Fines
If you drive without a valid e-vignette, you risk heavy fines. We therefore recommend buying a vignette for your category before you set off. In addition, you should check the validity of the electronic vignette before and after purchase so that you can act quickly if there are any problems.
How are tolls controlled in Slovakia?
The validity of the e-vignette and compliance with the Slovak toll is controlled electronically using video surveillance.
What penalties will I face without an e-vignette?
If you drive on toll motorways in Slovakia without a valid e-vignette, you will be asked to pay a fine of around £130. You will have one month to pay the fine. However, if you buy a monthly vignette within the 15-day grace period, the fine will be reduced to around £85.
Can I transfer my Hungarian vignette?
Yes, you can transfer the e-vignette to other vehicle registration numbers. However, this is only possible if the vehicle owner changes. In case of a write-off or theft, the e-vignette can be transferred to another vehicle of the same toll class.
Which vehicles are exempt from the vignette?
Only the following organisations are exempt:
- The Hungarian Armed Forces for the protection of public order and NATO
- bodies for the management of the public road network
- Civil protection
- Transport authorities
- Bodies for toll collection and monitoring tasks
- Other bodies with authorisation to use
