Digital System

Since 2023, Austria uses a fully digital vignette. Your licence plate is registered in the ASFINAG database. No sticker is needed in your windscreen.

Three Validity Options

10-day (€9.90), 2-month (€29.00), and annual (€96.40) vignettes are available for passenger cars. Motorcycles have lower prices.

Mandatory on Motorways

All vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes must have a valid vignette on Austrian motorways (A-roads) and expressways (S-roads). Fines start at €120.

Special Tolls Separate

The Brenner (A13), Tauern (A10), and Karawanken tunnel have additional section tolls not covered by the vignette. Budget accordingly.

"I was confused about whether my trailer needed its own vignette. The FAQ answered it immediately. Yes, it does — and I'm glad I checked."
