Additional toll section Karavanke Tunnel
In the north-western part of Slovenia, on the A2 motorway, lies the Karavanke Tunnel, which connects Austria and Slovenia. The tunnel is excluded from the vignette system and is charged separately:
- for drivers travelling southbound (from Austria to Slovenia), the toll is paid to the Austrian motorway operator ASFiNAG,
- for drivers travelling northbound (from Slovenia to Austria), the toll is paid at the toll booths in Hrušica.
In 2025, the Karavanke Tunnel toll at the Slovenian booths is €8.80 and applies to all vehicles with a GVW up to 3,5 tonnes.
Vignette Categories in Slovenia
Types of Slovenian vignettes Choosing the correct vignette category for your vehicle
In 2013, Slovenia introduced one of the most distinctive vehicle classification systems in Europe. A vehicle's category is determined by three factors:
- gross vehicle weight (GVW),
- vehicle type,
- vehicle height h measured above the front axle.
In Slovenia, the electronic vignette system covers all vehicles up to 3,5 tonnes. Vehicles above this weight use the DarsGo system instead.
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Motorcycles |
| 2A | Vehicles up to 3,5 t with height above front axle h ≤ 1,30 m |
| 2B | Vehicles up to 3,5 t with height above front axle h > 1,30 m |
Please read the sections below carefully – purchasing a vignette in the wrong category may result in a fine.
Two-wheeled vehiclesCategory 1 vignettes
Category 1 covers motorcycles and mopeds.
Cars and campervansCategory 2A vignettes
Category 2A covers vehicles with a GVW up to 3,5 tonnes and a height above the front axle of up to 1,30 m, including minibuses and off-road vehicles.

Vans and delivery vehiclesCategory 2B vignettes
Category 2B covers vehicles with a GVW up to 3,5 tonnes and a height above the front axle exceeding 1,30 m.

Fines in Slovenia
Slovenian VignettesE-vignette enforcement
E-vignette compliance is monitored by DARS, the Financial Administration, and the Police.
Checks are carried out in three ways:
- fixed cameras on motorways,
- at control points,
- by mobile toll control vehicles.
When a valid e-vignette is confirmed by the system, the vehicle data is deleted immediately. If a violation is detected, the data is retained until the minor offence procedure is completed.
Slovenia operates one of the most precise e-vignette monitoring systems in Europe – driving without a valid Slovenian vignette is equivalent to receiving a fine.
Slovenian VignettesFines for missing vignette
Driving without a valid e-vignette results in the following fines:
- missing short-term vignette – €300–€800,
- missing annual vignette – up to €1,200.
Driving on a toll road without a valid e-vignette is a legal offence – the standard fine is €300.
Transferring a registration plate linked to an e-vignette to another vehicle (particularly one in a different toll category) carries a fine of €500.
If a violation is detected, the driver is automatically assigned an e-vignette valid from the date of the offence – after the fine has been paid. The most cost-effective option (or combination of options) for the driver is applied.
An invoice may also be issued, accompanied by a ban on using toll roads until all charges are settled.
