It's important for travelers to understand the Moldovan vignette system before driving in the country. Read on to find out all you need to know about vignettes in Moldova, ensuring a relatively stress-free journey while driving on its toll roads and motorways.

Toll Regulations and Road Network Coverage

According to the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure legislation, specifically articles 335 and 336, road taxes are charged for the use of roads in the Republic of Moldova by vehicles not registered in the country by vignette. That means that to use motorways, highways, and expressways in the Republic of Moldova, all foreign vehicles (and any trailers attached to them) must have a digital vignette. As previously stated, motorcycles are exempt from Moldova's vignette requirement.

Map with Toll Roads

Moldova is the only country that requires an electronic vignette on all its public roads. That means there are tolls charged on the entire road network requiring an electronic vignette for all vehicles other than motorcycles. The following is an overview of Moldova's major motorways:

  • M1: Chisinau – Leușeni – Romania
  • M2: Chisinau – Orhei – Tintăreni – Saroca – Ukraine
  • M3: Chisinau – Răzeni – Cimișlia – Vulcănești – Giurgiulești – Romania
  • M4: Tiraspol – Grigoriopol – Rîbnița – Kamenka – Hristovaia – Ukraine
  • M5: Ukraine – Chisinau – Mărăndeni – Ukraine
  • M21: Chisinau – Dubăsari – Goianul Nou – Ukraine

Exceptions from Toll Payment

There are no roads that are exempt from toll payments for foreign vehicles in Moldova, however, there are some exceptions for certain individuals and vehicles.

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development, those exempt from paying the road tax via an e-vignette include:

  • Motorcycles
  • Owners of vehicles registered in other states who have a tax-exempt international road transport permit
  • Individual residents who place their vehicles under the import customs regime
  • Consular offices, diplomatic missions, and their personnel
  • Public transport vehicles, including trams, buses, and trolley buses used for public transportation of passengers
  • Emergency vehicles used for public safety and emergencies such as fire and police
  • Military vehicles used by Moldova's armed forces

The Moldovian E Vignette

A digital vignette system has been operating in Moldova since January 2017. This facilitated the mandatory purchase of an e-vignette. While adhesive stickers are no longer available, drivers can buy a road vignette at border crossing points. You will find vending machines at these border crossings and at major gas stations. However, we highly advise purchasing a Moldova e-vignette online at Tollwayr. It's the most convenient method and you'll avoid accidentally driving on the country's motorways without a vignette.

Categories of Vignettes in Moldova

Keep in mind that all foreign-registered motor vehicles (other than motorcycles) are required to obtain a vignette, including passenger cars, trucks, buses, and trailers.

Vehicle categories:

  • Passenger cars (and any trailers attached to them)
  • Buses with 9 to 24 seats
  • Buses with over 25 seats
  • Freight vehicles up to 3.5t
  • Freight vehicles from 3.5t to 10t
  • Freight vehicles from 10t to 40t

Requirements for Trailers & Vehicles Heavier than 3.5 T

Vehicles that have a total mass exceeding 3.5 tons incur a higher rate for the vignette road tax in the Republic of Moldova. Depending on the specific weight of the vehicle, there are two distinct categories as we outlined above:

  • Freight vehicles with a total mass between 3.5 and 10 tons
  • Freight vehicles with a total mass between 10 and 40 tons

The rates for these categories can vary, but be aware all vehicles with a higher total mass will pay a higher rate for the Moldova road tax.

Validity Periods and Prices in 2025

You'll need to purchase the e-vignette according to the length of time you plan to drive Moldova's roads. They are available in various validity periods:

  • 7 days
  • 15 days
  • 30 days
  • 90 days
  • 6 months

Fines and Compliance

Owners of vehicles registered abroad that drive the roads in the Republic of Moldova without a valid vignette risk receiving a fine for non-payment of tolls, in accordance with article 2873 of the "Violation of the rules regarding the vignette," Contravention Code 281/2008.

Fines range from 2250 to 9000 leu (MDL) or approximately €117 to 469 (EUR). The fines must be paid in addition to the cost of a Moldova vignette.

Toll controls on the country's motorways are carried out using both automated and manual methods. There are sensors and automatic cameras to ensure compliance on some sections of roads that can detect toll-liable vehicles and their vignette status. Toll inspectors also check the validity of e-vignettes using a vehicle's license plate number. Please note: sometimes you are asked to pay the fine at the spot, in cash. That’s why we keep hammering on buying the e vignette for Moldova upfront.

Avoid fines and ensure compliance by:

  • Purchasing your e-vignette before traveling to Moldova
  • Double-check all information on the vignette, including the category, validity period, and license plate number before you submit your order
