Toll vignette for Slovenia

All motorways in Slovenia are toll roads. If you want to drive your car on a motorway in Slovenia, you’ll need a vignette. This vignette is available digitally or as a sticker. If you enter Slovenia via the Karawanks Tunnel, for example, without a valid vignette, you’ll be fined €300 on the spot! Avoid this fine.

Buy a vignette for Slovenia

You can buy a toll vignette as a sticker at petrol stations just before the border crossings. But buying your vignette online is much easier. Only buy your vignette directly from the Slovenian government organisation DARS. You can even purchase your vignette up to 30 days in advance.

Which vignette do you need?

Your vignette has limited validity. Choose a vignette for 7 days or 30 days. If you’re just passing through, sometimes two separate vignettes are cheaper. There are different vignette classes: Class 1 is for motorbikes. Class 2A for passenger cars. And Class 2B for heavy vehicles such as motorhomes.

How much does a toll vignette for Slovenia cost?

Prices for the vignette vary by validity period.
For a standard passenger car (vignette 2A) you will pay:

Is the toll for the Karawanks Tunnel included?

To pass through the Karawanks Tunnel towards Austria you must pay a toll. This toll is completely separate from your motorway vignette for Slovenia. If you use this tunnel, you must also have a valid motorway toll vignette for both Slovenia and Austria. Otherwise, you’ll be fined! But every single time you drive through this tunnel you therefore pay extra on top of the vignette.

Do you want your vignette for Austria online too?

For your trip to Slovenia, chances are you’ll travel through Austria. You can also pay for both the Austrian vignette and the tunnel tolls online. The Austrian vignette can be bought online at least three weeks before its start date due to ‘distance selling’ return rights. (This does not apply if you buy the vignette for business use).

All vignettes and toll tunnels

If you’re driving from Munich towards Ljubljana, Bled or Kranjska Gora, you’re likely to take the route via Austria and the Karawanks Tunnel. The following costs for vignettes and toll tunnels will apply:

1. A motorway vignette in Austria
2. A motorway vignette in Slovenia
3. Toll for the Karawanks Tunnel (€7.80 per trip)
4. On the way, the Tauern Tunnel in Austria (€13.50 per trip)

You pay toll every time you go through the tunnel. There and back. And also every time if you use it more than once per day.

Toll vignette for hire cars

If you hire a car in Slovenia, the toll vignette is almost always included. If you hire a car in Austria, Italy or Croatia and drive into Slovenia yourself, you then need to arrange a valid toll vignette for your hire car yourself.

Can you change the number plate on your toll vignette?

If you have bought a toll vignette for your car but it breaks down, or you’ve sold your car, then unfortunately you’re out of luck. The Slovenian toll vignette is tied to your number plate and you can’t transfer it to another number plate. Unless your vignette’s validity has not yet started. Suppose you enter the wrong number plate a week before your vignette’s start date. You can still change this up to the vignette’s start date.
