The Slovenia vignette has been mandatory to have when driving vehicles on the country's motorways and expressways since 1 July 2008. Originally, it was a physical sticker adhered to the window of your vehicle. In 2021 Slovenia switched to electronic vignettes, or e-vignettes, which are issued by Dars. The physical sticker has been entirely replaced by the digital vignette and is no longer in use. It is linked to the registration number of your vehicle.

The official vignette can be purchased online at Tollwayr and can be paid using all major online payment methods, including credit cards and PayPal. Don't drive on Slovenian toll roads without an e-vignette as you could face a significant fine. To learn more about how they work and how to buy a Slovenia vignette, read on.
Toll Regulations and Road Network Coverage
Toll charges in Slovenia are collected through the digital vignette, also called an “E-Vinjeta”, via the Dars payment system. By decree of the Republic of Slovenia government, motor vehicles that weigh 3,500 kg or less fall within the electronic vignette system, while those exceeding 3,500 kg must pay their tolls using the DarsGO electronic system that requires an onboard unit.
The major roads and highways to which the digital vignette, or E-vinjeta, applies include the following:
A1: Štajerska-Primorska motorway Šentilj – Maribor – Celje – Ljubljana – Postojna – Koper
A2: Upper Carniola-Lower Carniola motorway Karawanks Tunnel (special toll) – Kranj – Ljubljana – Novo mesto – Brežice – Obrežje
Regional roads in Slovenia are exempt from the vignette obligation. Additionally, the A2 motorway from Rosenbach (Austria) to Hrušica (Slovenia) is paid using the Karawanks Tunnel. The route from Slovenia to Austria (Northbound) cannot be paid in advance. You need to pay by card or with cash at the toll stations.
Exemptions From Toll Payment
According to the Road Tolling Act, some types of vehicles and/or the type of transport they provide are exempt from toll payments. These vehicles do not require an e-vignette but must still be registered in the system before using a toll road in Slovenia. Toll payments are not required for:
Vehicles that are used to perform humanitarian aid tasks for those affected in peace or war, due to armed conflicts, natural and other disasters
Vehicles with priority and escort vehicles, including the escorted vehicles
Military vehicles of the Slovenian Armed Forces
Foreign military vehicles used on national defense missions, for transporting international peacekeeping forces, and in the performance of other security and defense tasks when determined by international treaties
Transport with vehicles the toll road operator uses to perform toll activities and the performance of maintenance tasks
The Slovenian E-vignette
As mentioned, purchasing an electronic vignette is mandatory for vehicles with a maximum permitted weight of up to 3,500 kg to use toll roads. You do not need an additional vignette for your trailer, only for the towing vehicle. All expressways and motorways are subject to tolls for a specified period of use.
Originally available as a physical adhesive sticker, Slovenia transitioned to a digital vignette for multiple reasons: it's more easily enforced, more efficient, and more sustainable. There's no need to stick anything onto the window and worry about damage rendering it invalid. As it is an online vignette, you don't have to wait for a sticker to arrive in the mail either.
On the border of Slovenia and Austria you will encounter the Karawankentunnel. You cannot pay the toll from the Slovenian side driving North electronically unfortunately. You need to pay by card or cash at the toll gate. When travelling to or through Austria, you need both a Slovenian and an Austrian e-vignette. Driving from Austria to Slovenia is the responsibility of the Austrian ASFINAG. The vignette from Austria to Slovenia can, however, be purchased online.
All you have to do is register your Slovenian e vignette online at Tollwayr.com and it will be issued within minutes, and delivered right to your email inbox. We've been selling e vignettes for years, not only for Slovenia but for many other countries.
Categories of vignettes in Slovenia
There are several vehicle categories you can choose from when purchasing your vignette. It's important to make the correct selection. If you are unsure about the vehicle category, you can use our custom-made tool to make the determination.

These tolls are paid through the electronic DarsGo system with the electronic toll tag available at DarsGo service points, many of which are listed on the official Dars website.
Validity Periods and Prices in 2024
Prices for 2024 were set on 15 June 2023 when the Slovenian government issued a decree increasing the prices of its e vignettes. They are available in various validity periods for which you'll select based on the duration of your trip:
Annual e-vignette for Slovenia
Monthly e-vignette for Slovenia
Weekly e-vignette for Slovenia
Semi-annual e-vignette (This is only for motorbikes, as motorbikes do not have the option for monthly e-vignettes)
As of 24 June 2024 there are no plans to issue a 1-day vignette for Slovenia.

Fines and Compliance
The correct use of e-vignettes in Slovenia is controlled by the Motorway Company in the Republic of Slovenia (DARS), the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, and the Slovenian police. On the country's motorway network, there are surveillance cameras at control points and toll control vehicles to ensure compliance.
When the system checks the vehicle to determine whether there is a valid e-vignette and non-compliance is detected, it is a violation of the Road Tolling Act which incurs a 300 EUR fine (XXXX GPB).
If the toll payer transfers the vehicle registration plate associated with the e-vignette to a different vehicle, or to a vehicle that isn't in the same toll class as the vehicle from which the registration plate was taken, the fine is even larger at 500 EUR (XXXX GBP).
To avoid the fine, ensure that you do the following:
Purchase an e-vignette before driving on any toll roads in Slovenia
Double-check the information on your vignette, including the category, validity period, and license plate number before submitting your order
Common Issues That Can Result in Fines
There are multiple issues that can result in a fine, in addition to failing to purchase an e-vignette altogether, including:
Errors in one's license plate number
Selecting the wrong vehicle type
Entering the toll zone with a different vehicle than the one bearing the vignette
Incorrect validity dates
Tips for International Travelers
Exploring Slovenia as an international visitor is made easier with the freedom of driving, but to ensure a seamless journey, follow these important tips.
Before you enter Slovenia, purchase an electronic vignette. If you accidentally drive on a road that requires one, chances are, you will end up paying a hefty fine.
When buying your Slovenia e-vignette, avoid common mistakes by paying close attention to each selection, from entering the vehicle license plate number and choosing the appropriate category to selecting the correct validity period. Ensure you receive an email confirmation of your purchase.
Refer to our news/blog section for the latest information on driving and vignettes in Slovenia.
The main highways in Slovenia are the A1 and A2, similar to motorways in the U.K., running between Ljubljana, Piran, and Bled. The E1 will bring you along the most famous mountain pass, and the highest, connecting Gorenjska and Primorska, winding through the heart of the Julian Alps with breathtaking views.
Be aware that dipped headlights (low-beam) are mandatory even in the daytime.
As the maximum permitted blood alcohol level for drivers is just .5 parts per thousand and breath tests are common when pulled over, it's best to not drink anything at all before driving in Slovenia.
FAQ
When will I receive the vignette after purchasing it?
If you’ve purchased the vignette from Tollwayr, it is issued within minutes after we’ve received the payment. You will receive a confirmation email with all the details.
How do I receive the vignette?
The vignette is sent to your email address. There is no physical sticker available. The e-vignette is electronically linked to your vehicle’s registration number.
How do I input special characters from my license plate?
When purchasing the digital vignette, you must enter the license plate exactly as it appears on your registration document but do NOT include hyphens. The rules are different in other countries such as Germany and Austria where you should use special characters, so pay close attention if you plan on driving outside of Slovenia. If you encounter any issues, our customer support team can assist you.
If I'm checked on the road by control authorities, should I provide any proof that I have purchased an electronic vignette?
Yes, carrying a printed copy of the e-vignette confirmation or having it accessible on your mobile device is recommended. It can be useful during checks, although authorities can verify your vignette through the central database.
Can the order still be changed if I entered the wrong information?
Yes, we can adjust the necessary details if the vignette has not yet taken effect. Contact our customer service as soon as possible to rectify any errors. If the vignette has been activated already no changes can be made.
Do I have to print out the e-vignette certificate and carry it in my car?
It is not mandatory to print the e-vignette certificate, but we recommend doing so for your records and easy reference during travel. Having access to your mobile phone will suffice.
Can I buy the e-vignette retrospectively if I have driven on toll roads without a valid e-vignette?
No, you cannot buy the e-vignette retrospectively. You must have a valid vignette before driving on Slovenian toll roads to avoid fines.
Can I apply for multiple vignettes at the same time?
Yes, you can purchase multiple vignettes in one transaction. Ensure each vignette is correctly assigned to the respective vehicle registration numbers.
Can I cancel the order after placing it?
You can cancel the order as long as the e-vignette has not yet taken effect. Contact our customer service for assistance with cancellations.
Is the e-vignette for Slovenia also valid in other countries?
No, the e-vignette is only valid for toll roads in Slovenia. Each country has its own toll system and requirements. You will need to purchase separate vignettes or toll passes for neighboring countries.
Can I buy the Karawankentunnel vignette from Slovenia to Austria?
Unfortunately not. You can only buy the digital vignette southbound.
