All vehicles with a maximum permissible weight over 3,5 tonnes, meaning classes R2, R3 and R4, are subject to the Slovenian electronic toll system DarsGO. Tolls are charged automatically via an on-board unit that records the distance travelled.
Further official information about the system, registration and user account is available on DarsGO.
How to pay Slovenian e-toll (DarsGO)?
You can choose between two settlement methods:
- Prepaid – top up your unit with the selected amount before travel,
- Postpaid – automatic settlement after the journey for companies with a contract.
Payments can be made using:
- fuel cards such as UTA, DKV, Shell or Eurowag,
- credit or debit cards,
- cash at DarsGO service points.
Where to buy a DarsGO on-board unit?
You can register a DarsGO unit at any DarsGO service point in Slovenia. You usually need:
- a VAT number,
- an email address,
- vehicle documents, including the registration certificate and proof of EURO emission class.
Alternatively, it is possible to register online via e-DarsGO and collect the unit at a service point or have it sent by post for EU residents.
Which category does my vehicle belong to?
According to DARS, the light-vehicle system is divided into 3 categories:
- 1A – single-track vehicles with a track width of up to 50 cm,
- 2A – four-wheel vehicles with a gross vehicle weight up to 3,5 tonnes and a height above the front axle of up to 1,3 m,
- 2B – four-wheel vehicles with a maximum permissible weight up to 3,5 tonnes and a height above the front axle of more than 1,3 m.
If you are unsure which category applies to your vehicle, the official DARS list of measured vehicles may help.
