To Slovenia by Car

The e-vignette is a modern way of paying a toll that does not differ significantly from the classic sticker vignette in terms of basic features and price.

The e-vignette is linked to the vehicle registration number. At the time of purchase, it is necessary to enter the correct registration number and country of registration of the vehicle and select the e-vignette for the correct toll class.

The e-vignette can be purchased online, at the DarsGo service or at authorised points of sale. The e-vignette must be paid before you start driving on the motorway or expressway.

All other providers that advertise that they sell Slovenian e-vignettes on their websites are not officially authorised to sell e-vignettes, so buying from these sellers comes with a risk and potentially higher costs.

For online payment, the vignette can be paid by debit or credit card (Mastercard, Visa, Maestro), PayPalor bank transfer. For payment by card or PayPal, the vignette can take effect immediately after the payment, and in the case of bank transfer the first possible day of validity of the e-vignette is four (4) working days from the date of the offer.

Do not risk driving on the motorways without the vignette sticker, since the penalties are severe. The penalty for driving on a motorway without a valid vignette or without paying the toll is a fine of EUR 300 to 800.

The use of the vignette is not tied to the kilometres travelled, while the following time limits apply:

• The annual vignette is valid for one year (12 months) and is tied to the date of entry into force set by the customer.
• The half-year vignette is valid for six months from the date of entry into force determined by the customer, or until the end of the last day of the sixth month if there is no such date in the sixth month.
• The monthly vignette is valid from the date of entry into force determined by the customer to the end of the last day in the next month, or to the end of the last day in the month if there is no such date in the next month.

• The weekly vignette is valid for seven consecutive calendar days from and including the day of entry into force determined by the customer.

The date of validity of the vignette can be set up to a maximum of 30 days in advance (including the day of purchase).

For journeys on the motorway from Austria to the Hrušica exit towards the interior of Slovenia and vice versa, vignettes are not required. The toll paid for the Karavanke Tunnel is valid for travel between the first motorway exits on both sides of the national border (in Slovenia the Hrušica exit, in Austria the Podrožca/Rosenbach exit).

See how you may be eligible for a refund of a proportional part of the value of the e-vignette or a withdrawal from the purchase of the e-vignette. More information about the rules and procedures is available at the links below.

DarsGo is a modern electronic tolling system in the free traffic flow for vehicles whose maximum permitted weight exceeds 3.5 tonnes. Toll charge per km driven for vehicles whose maximum permissible weight exceeds 3,500 kg is stipulated by the government of the Republic of Slovenia.

Toll varies based on the particular motorway section and the toll-rate category or emission standard of the vehicle. In the DarsGo system, toll charging is fully automated and based on the distance travelled.
