E-vignette Czech Republic

Toll charges in the Czech Republic are collected through an e-vignette via the Edalnice payment system. The digital vignette is always linked to a vehicle registration number and can be purchased here at vintrica.com. At vintrica you can easily pay for electronic vignettes using PayPal, online banking or a credit card. After successful payment, you will receive a confirmation by mail containing all the relevant information about your vignette. If you want to be on the safe side, we can also send you a text message with all the information.

Up to 3.5 t laden weight

Toll roads

  • D0 Prague city ring road: partially toll-free
  • D1 Prague – Brno (exits 182-210)
  • D1 Brno – Ostrava (exit 354 to Polish border)

Regulations for cars and campervans

In Czechia, vehicles with a permissible total weight of 3.5 t need an electronic vignette for motorways and expressways. Motor vehicles with less than four tyres (motorbikes and trikes) do not need a Czech vignette. No toll is charged for trailers.

Therefore, there is only one toll category: Passenger cars up to max. 3.5 tonnes

Pkw unter 3,5 Tonnen
Fahrzeug für Güterverkehr unter 3,5 Tonnen
Minibus unter 3,5 Tonnen
Laster unter 3,5 Tonnen
Pickup unter 3,5 Tonnen
Van unter 3,5 Tonnen
Wohnwagen unter 3,5 Tonnen
Vignette obligation for all vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes permissible total weight

  • 1 day

The vignette is always valid up to and including the last day (23:59) of the selected period.

Annual vignettes cannot be registered retroactively and are always valid for one year. For example, the annual vignette is valid from 17 March 2023 00:00 to 16 March 2024 23:59.

The original vignette prices are set in Czech crowns (Kč, CZK). We provide you with prices updated every hour in British pounds. The current exchange rate is:

Fines

If you drive on Czech motorways without a valid e-vignette, you may face severe fines and penalties. We therefore recommend buying a vignette for your category before you set off. In addition, you should check the validity of the electronic vignette before and after purchase so that you can act quickly if there are any problems.

How is the toll controlled?

As in other vignette countries, the toll is mainly controlled by video surveillance after border crossings or motorway slip roads.

What penalties do I face without an e-vignette?

In Czechia, violations of the toll obligation are punished with heavy fines. Therefore, fines of up to approximately £730 are due for driving without a valid vignette. If the exemption of a vignette is abused, fines of up to approx. £6900 will be imposed. Fines are also levied for motor vehicles that do not have a registered exemption. Registration and deregistration of a vehicle with an exemption is required by law. For deregistering, you have a period of 10 working days. If you fail to do both, a fine of approximately £170 will be imposed.

Can I transfer my vignette?

No, you cannot transfer the vignette to other vehicles. You can only change the number plate on the vignette if the licence plate is lost, stolen or destroyed. Attach a copy of the document proving the change of the vehicle registration number to this form. We recommend that you have a copy of the vehicle registration papers showing both the previous registration number and the new number plate and VIN code.

Can I change my number plate at a later date?

You can change the registration number of the vignette for a vehicle of the same vehicle category before the first day of validity if you use the flex service offered by vintrica.com.

During the validity period you have the possibility to change up to two characters on your registration number and the country of registration once at the vignette administration of Edalnice. To do this, you will need the authorisation code, which can be found on the confirmation sent to you by e-mail or text message after completing the registration. To request a change, click here.

If the vehicle registration number of a vehicle registered in the Czech Republic is changed, it will no longer be necessary to submit the change of vehicle registration number, provided that the details of the original and the new vehicle registration number are available in the register of road vehicles.

Can I postpone the start of validity after purchase?

Only the flex service at vintrica.com offers you the option of changing the validity period before the first day of validity. If you have not booked the flex service, the vignette is only valid for the period specified during registration.

If you change the validity start date to today's date, the registration number cannot be changed afterwards.

Who is exempt from a vignette?

From March 2024, the following vehicles are exempt from vignette requirements in the Czech Republic:

  • Electric and hydrogen vehicles that are registered in the Czech Republic. A notification for exemption is no longer required. For vehicles registered outside the Czech Republic, an exemption can be applied for with a form.
  • Transport of disabled persons with a Czech disabled person's card type ZTP or ZTP/P. The person holding the disabled person's card type ZTP or ZTP/P must be present during a check. Anyone with a disabled person's card not issued by the Czech Republic does not count as an exemption and is therefore obliged to purchase a vignette.
