How the Austrian digital vignette works

Because the plate is the only identifier, an error in it means the vignette is registered to a different vehicle — or to no vehicle at all. You would be driving unprotected while believing you had paid.

This is why we ask you to confirm your plate explicitly before payment, and why we show you the exact characters we will register.

Once the vignette is registered there is no document to print and no sticker to attach. Keep your confirmation reference in case you need to demonstrate the purchase.

The vignette covers Austria's general motorway and expressway network. Several routes are excluded and carry a separate section toll (Streckenmaut) — the Brenner motorway and a number of alpine tunnels and passes among them. These are paid separately at the route itself.
