Navigate Austria’s Roads with Confidence

Austria Vignette Guide

Traveling Austria’s highways? A vignette—either a sticker or a digital pass—ensures your journey is legal and fine-free. Here is exactly what to know before your wheels hit the Österreich asphalt:

• What is the Österreich Vignette?
  A mandatory toll sticker or digital pass for using Austrian motorways and expressways. Driving without one can mean on-the-spot fines and a disrupted trip.
• How much does the Österreich Vignette cost?
  Vignette prices (2024): 10-day pass – €9.90, 2-month pass – €29, 1-year – €96.50 for passenger cars. Cost depends on your vehicle and chosen validity period.
• Where can I buy the Vignette?
  Purchase at border gas stations, retailers, official Austrian websites, or with the ASFINAG app. Digital options link directly to your license plate for convenience.
• What happens if you don’t have a vignette?
  Expect an immediate fine of at least €120, often issued right at the roadside. Don’t risk your vacation; always check before you drive.
• Are there extra tolls for certain roads or tunnels?
  Yes! Alpine stretches like Tauern or Karawanken tunnels, or scenic high passes, have separate fees on top of your vignette. Always check your planned route.
