Tolls in Slovakia are charged based on the weight of the vehicle. Vignette is necessary for vehicles with a maximum allowed weight of less than 3.5 tonnes for driving on most motorways and expressways in Slovakia. Vehicles with a maximum permissible weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes are charged based on distance they travelled on the toll road. You will pay toll charges by an on-board unit<ref>[https://www.igi-global.com/dictionary/obu-on-board-unit/34930 What is an OBU Unit] </ref>.

−
For vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, vignette is mandatory on most of the motorways and expressways. You can buy Vignette online on SK-Vignette <ref>[https://sk-vignette.com/en/Index/?gclid=CjwKCAjwrPCGBhALEiwAUl9X068nhvKsNkCmoiRxrVMO2qDQA6fZ4BTk93RdxJmvLIFMebUGhO0KuBoCemsQAvD_BwE Buy Vignette on SK-Vignette]</ref>.

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, you need a valid electronic vignette (e-vignette) to drive on Slovak motorways and expressways - but only for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Slovakia operates a mandatory time-based vignette system with zero physical stickers required.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Driving without a valid e-vignette triggers €150 fines detected by automatic camera systems. Unlike neighboring countries with complex payment methods, Slovakia offers simple online vignette purchase via eznamka.sk.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Enhanced system allows vignette start dates up to 60 days in advance (increased from 13 days) and prevents duplicate purchases. Annual vignette prices increased 50% but 365-day vignettes offer better value.</p>

Slovakia Motorway Tolls Complete Guide

System: Electronic vignette (eZnámka) - No physical stickers
Coverage: 435 km motorways and expressways (D1, D2, D3, D4, R1, R2, R6)
Currency: Euro (EUR)
Technology: Electronic license plate recognition system

Do I Need an E-Vignette for Slovakia? 2025 Update

Yes, you need a valid electronic vignette (e-vignette) to drive on Slovak motorways and expressways - but only for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Slovakia operates a mandatory time-based vignette system with zero physical stickers required.

Key Reality: Driving without a valid e-vignette triggers €150 fines detected by automatic camera systems. Unlike neighboring countries with complex payment methods, Slovakia offers simple online vignette purchase via eznamka.sk.

2025 Update: Enhanced system allows vignette start dates up to 60 days in advance (increased from 13 days) and prevents duplicate purchases. Annual vignette prices increased 50% but 365-day vignettes offer better value.
