Vignette for motor vehicles weighing up to 3.5 t

In order to use motorways and express roads, all vehicles with a technically permissible maximum laden mass (tpmlm) of up to 3.5 tonnes (e.g. motorcycles, passenger cars) must have a vignette. Motorcycles with side-cars and three-wheeled motor vehicles only require a special vignette for single-track motor vehicles. The vignette is available as an annual vignette as well as a ten-day, two-month vignette or a 1-day vignette.

Drivers can choose between a toll sticker or a digital vignette. Unlike the toll sticker, the digital vignette is not registered to the vehicle, but to the licence plate number. After the start of validity of a digital annual vignette, the vehicle licence plate can be re-registered once without giving reasons for an expense reimbursement of 18 euros. The prerequisite is that the registration holder does not change. In addition, it is always possible to re-register a digital annual vignette after the start of its validity in the event of a a license plate change for certain reasons, provided that the registration holder does not change.

One digital vignette can be used for up to three vehicles that are subject to the vignette. In the event that transferable plates are in use and a digital vignette is registered to that licence plate number, an additional vignette will not be required for a second (or third) vehicle that requires a vignette.  Equally, in the event of a broken car windscreen a new vignette is not required if a digital vignette is in use.

It is not possible to convert an already purchased toll sticker into a digital vignette, nor can a digital vignette be converted into a toll sticker during its validity period. It is only possible to change to a toll sticker or a digital vignette as of the following year.

On certain sections of the motor- and expressway network vehicles weighing up to 3.5 t have been exempt from the vignette requirement.

On particularly cost-intensive trans-Alpine crossing sections of the Austrian motorway and motor- and expressway network motor vehicles up to 3.5 t technically permissible maximum laden mass are subject to the route toll for motor vehicles weighing up to 3.5 t instead of the vignette.

The annual vignette is valid for one calendar year. However, it may also be used from 1 December of the previous year and until 31 January of the following year.

The annual vignette 2026 is therefore valid from 1 December 2025 to 31 January 2027. It is available as a toll sticker in the colour "fire-read" since end of November 2025.

To purchase a Digital Vignette in the ASFINAG toll shop or via the ASFINAG app, the following must be provided:

• Registration number of the motor vehicle
• State of registration
• e-mail address
• and the data required for non-cash payment transactions (credit card, PayPal, Amazon Pay, eps transfer or SEPA direct debit)

When purchasing a Digital Vignette, special attention should be paid to the correct entry/registration of the vehicle registration number and that the data on the order and payment confirmation is correct, as motor vehicle drivers who use a route subject to the vignette with a motor vehicle whose registration number has not been correctly registered commit an administrative offence.

When purchasing a digital 1-day, 10-day or 2-month vignette, it is also possible to specify a future validity (start) date within the vignette year. For short-term vignettes, 30 November of the current vignette year can be chosen as the last possible first validity start date, since new prices apply from 1 December.

The annual vignette 2026 (Digital Vignette or Toll Sticker) is valid from 1^st December 2025. The sticker for the year 2026 has the colour "fire-red" and is available since end of November 2025. The 2025 annual vignette will remain valid until 31^st January 2026.

The prices for the 2026 vignette are as follows (since 1^st December 2025)

• For multi-track motor vehicles with a technically permissible maximum laden mass of up to 3.5 (e.g. passenger vehicles, small motorhomes, small vans):

  • Annual Vignette: EUR 106.80

  • 2-month Vignette: EUR 32.00

  • 10-day Vignette: EUR 12.80

The time-based toll (known as the Vignette) for motor vehicles with a total maximum weight of up to 3.5 tonnes is deemed to have been properly paid only if a valid Toll Sticker is properly displayed on the vehicle or if a Digital Vignette is registered on the licence plate number of the vehicle. The toll must be paid before the vehicle is used on the toll road network for which a Vignette is required. Purchasing a Toll Sticker retrospectively does not constitute a proper payment of the toll due. Similarly, it is not sufficient to carry a sticker with you without affixing it properly to the windscreen.

Any driver caught on the road by ASFINAG's Service and Control personnel or automatic toll checks without a valid sticker or without a properly displayed sticker will be requested to pay substitute toll. If this substitute toll is not paid, offenders will be liable to administrative penalties as set out in the Bundesstraßen-Mautgesetz 2002. These penalties range from EUR 300 to EUR 3,000.

Further Information about substitute tolls and administrative penalties can be found on the Service and Controls page of ASFINAG's Website.
