Austria: Vignette & Tolls

Vignette — how to buy it, current price bands, and how to avoid overpaying.

LAST VERIFIED 2026-07-29

Toll system

A vignette (physical sticker or digital, plate-linked) is required for cars up to 3.5 t on motorways and expressways; several Alpine sections (e.g. Brenner, Tauern, Pyhrn) charge an additional separate toll on top of the vignette.

Buying it

Buy at over 6,000 outlets across Austria and neighboring countries, through the official ASFINAG toll shop online, or via the ASFINAG Unterwegs app. A plate-linked digital vignette is now offered alongside the traditional windscreen sticker — from 2027 only the digital version will be sold, making 2026 the last year for physical stickers. Buy only through ASFINAG or its official retail network: ASFINAG warns of phishing SMS messages, emails, and fake shops impersonating them to harvest payment details.

Price bands

2026 passenger-car (up to 3.5 t) prices: 1-day €9.60, 10-day €12.80, 2-month €32.00, annual €106.80 (VAT included). Figures are indicative and change yearly — confirm the current price on the official ASFINAG site before buying.
