Austria Vignettes | Essential information

In Austria, traveling on highways and expressways requires a vignette, which is valid for a specified period. The vignette requirement applies to vehicles up to 3.5 tons. Having a purchased Austrian vignette does not entitle you to use additional toll sections – you must purchase an additional section ticket. The vignette and section ticket are electronic and linked to the vehicle's registration number.

Types and validity of Austrian vignettes

Vignette validity Available periods

Austrian vignettes are available in several versions, regarding their validity period - vignettes for: 1 (specified) day, 10 days, 2 months and annual (with a predetermined validity period).

1 day vignette (for the specified day)

Austria was the first in the EU to introduce a vignette valid for 1 day. It is valid until 23:59 on the day specified in the order. This means that if you purchase a vignette "for today" at 22:00, it will only be valid for about 2 hours.

10 day vignette

Valid from the date specified in the order, plus 9 additional days, until 23:59 on the last day. When activated "from today" - it starts from the moment it is processed in the system and ends according to the above rule.

2 month vignette

Valid from the date specified in the order, until the same date two months later, until 23:59. If the next month does not have that day, the validity ends on the last day of the month. Two-month vignettes are not available in our service.

Annual vignette 2025

The annual vignette has a fixed validity period: from December 1, 2024 (or from the moment of purchase after this date) to January 31, 2026. In the second half of the year, it may be more advantageous to choose a shorter vignette (e.g. 2-month).
