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.
The Karavanke Tunnel toll at the Slovenian booths is 9.00 € and applies to all vehicles with a GVW up to 3.5 tonnes.

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 vehicles Category 1 vignettes
Category 1 covers motorcycles and mopeds.
Cars and campervans Category 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.
Campervans are classified as category 2A regardless of their height above the front axle. The category for converted campervans is determined on the basis of vehicle documents (e.g. registration certificate, certificate of conformity, or another document from the relevant authority).
Vans and delivery vehicles Category 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.
Examples: Fiat Ducato, Ford Transit, Iveco Daily, Mercedes Sprinter.
Trailers and semi-trailers Other

Fines in Slovenia
Slovenian Vignettes E-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 Vignettes Fines for missing vignette
Driving without a valid e-vignette results in a flat fine:
- short-term or annual vignette alike – 300 €.
Driving on a toll road without a valid e-vignette is a legal offence – the 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.
The offender is notified by a payment order sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt no later than one month after the offence.

Frequently Asked Questions | Slovenian Vignette FAQ
Do you need a vignette in Slovenia?
Yes. Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, including motorcycles, need an e-vignette on all motorways and expressways in Slovenia. Trailers are exempt. The vignette is electronic and linked to your number plate. A separate toll is charged for the Karawanks Tunnel.
How much is a Slovenian vignette in 2026?
For cars in toll class 2A, the official fee is 16.00 € for 7 days, 32.00 € for one month and 117.50 € for 365 days. Motorcycles (class 1) pay 8.00 € for 7 days. Class 2B vehicles – those more than 1.30 m high above the front axle – pay 32.00 € for 7 days. At Autopay the 7-day vignette for cars costs 21.50 € including the service fee.
Where can you buy a Slovenian vignette?
Ideally online before your trip, for example at Autopay: the e-vignette is linked to your number plate and you receive the confirmation by email. Important: the vignette must already be valid when you join the motorway. It cannot be bought retroactively, and buying one afterwards will not protect you from a fine.
Are campervans such as VW T5, Fiat Ducato or Ford Transit classified as category 2A in Slovenia?
Yes. In Slovenia, campervans based on VW T5, Fiat Ducato or Ford Transit are classified as category 2A regardless of their height above the front axle, provided they are registered as campervans.
Are smaller vans such as Citroën Jumpy, Hyundai H1, Mercedes Viano and Mercedes Vito category 2A in Slovenia?
Yes. In Slovenia, smaller vans such as the Citroën Jumpy, Hyundai H1, Mercedes Viano and Mercedes Vito are classified as category 2A.
Is there a 1-day vignette in Slovenia?
No. Slovenia does not offer a single-day vignette. The shortest validity period is 7 days.
I drove through Slovenia without a vignette – will I receive a fine?
Yes, you risk a fine. DARS checks vignettes automatically – with fixed cameras on motorways, at control points and with mobile control vehicles – so your vehicle can be recorded even if you are not stopped. The fine for driving without a valid e-vignette is 300 €, and buying a vignette afterwards does not protect you from it. Buy your e-vignette before entering a Slovenian motorway.
Can I buy a vignette after already entering a Slovenian motorway to avoid a fine?
No. The e-vignette must be valid before you enter a motorway or expressway. Buying it afterwards does not protect you from a 300 € fine. Buy your vignette online before your trip.
Can I return a Slovenian vignette?
Yes, but only the 365-day vignette. A refund is always partial and is calculated based on the unused portion of the validity period. Click here to check how much of a refund you are entitled to for the unused part of your e-vignette.
Do I need to buy a vignette for a rented campervan?
It depends. The responsibility for ensuring the rented vehicle has a valid vignette rests with the driver. Many rental companies offer vehicles without a vignette included – the customer is expected to purchase one. In practice, especially during peak season, a vignette may already be linked to the vehicle. Before renting a campervan, always confirm the rental company's vignette policy.
Which vehicles are exempt from the vignette requirement in Slovenia?
Emergency, military, humanitarian and road maintenance vehicles are exempt. Trailers also do not require a vignette – only the towing vehicle needs one.
Can I extend a vignette's validity period?
No. You must purchase a new vignette once the current one expires.
What car equipment is required in Slovenia?
A first aid kit, warning triangle, reflective vest, spare wheel and bulb kit are required.
What are the speed limits in Slovenia?
The following speed limits apply in Slovenia:
- 50 km/h in built-up areas,
- 90 km/h outside built-up areas,
- 110 km/h on expressways,
- 130 km/h on motorways.
