Austrian vignette validity

Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving and the time period you would like to spend abroad, you should obtain a suitable vignette for Austria. You should also take into consideration the maximum gross vehicle weight (under 3.5t or over 3.5t).

Vehicles over 3.5t (buses, lorries)

Driving a vehicle that weighs over 3.5t, it is essential to use the Go Box system instead of the traditional Austrian vignette. You must install a special measuring unit in your car that will calculate the driven distance and the due payment. The fee you should pay will differ depending on the vehicle’s emission class.

  • 10-day vignette – Go Box
  • 60-day vignette – Go Box
  • 1-year vignette – Go Box

IMPORTANT! There are a few highways that require you to pay an additional vignette fee because they are considered high-maintenance roads. If you would like to use motorways and expressways A9, A10, A11, A13, or S16, a regular toll sticker or digital vignette will be insufficient.
