Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Austrian vignette?

The Austrian vignette is a toll sticker or digital pass required for all vehicles using Austrian motorways and expressways.

Where can I buy the vignette?

Digital vignettes can be purchased online. Physical stickers are available at border crossings, gas stations, and tobacconists.

Is the digital vignette immediately valid?

For consumers, there is an 18-day cooling-off period. However, you can waive this right for immediate validity if you purchase it as a business or explicitly agree.

What happens if I drive without a vignette?

Driving without a valid vignette can result in fines starting from €120 and potentially higher if not paid promptly.

Are there exceptions for the vignette?

Some sections of motorways are exempt, and certain vehicles (e.g., emergency vehicles) are also exempt. Always check the latest regulations.
