Road Tolls Romania | Driver's Guide 2026
Planning a trip to Romania and wondering how road tolls work there? Romania uses an electronic toll system called Rovinieta. In this guide you will learn how tolls work, how much they cost and what drivers should know before travelling in 2026.
Road tolls in Romania | Map & system
The Romanian toll system is based on an electronic vignette called Rovinieta. It applies mainly to motorways and national roads.
The system is managed by CNAIR , the national authority responsible for road infrastructure.
The vignette is not a physical sticker. Instead, it is registered electronically and linked to the vehicle’s licence plate number.
