3.40 €
In Austria, all motor vehicles up to and including 3.5t are subject to tolls on motorways. This toll is levied on vehicles in the form of a Paper Vignette or a Digital Vignette.
Advantages of the Digital Vignette
- Validity immediately after purchase is possible
- No processing- or dispatch fees
- No need to attach / remove a Paper Vignette from the Windshield
- It is possible to modify the license plate or the starting date of the validity (comfortably) online – as long as the validity has not begun yet.
Important notes for use
- For cars with trailers or caravans, the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the car as a towing vehicle is relevant for determining the vignette. If the permissible technical maximum laden mass of 3.5 tons is not exceeded, only a car vignette is required.
- If the technically permissible maximum laden mass is over 3.5 tons, you will need a toll box
- If a digital vignette is not purchased or a paper vignette is attached to the vehicle, a fine of up to €240 will be levied. If you do not pay the fine immediately on the spot, an administrative penalty procedure will be initiated, which is associated with considerably higher costs (€300 - €3,000).
- A (digital) route toll is required for cost-intensive route sections. At tolltickets you can purchase the Digital Section toll easily and conveniently here in the webshop. - For assistance with the usage and management of Austrian Digital Vignettes or Digital Section Toll—including purchase confirmations, validity date and vehicle modifications, or product cancellations—please contact us +49 8031 94144594.

The validity of the 10-day Digital Vignette extends from the starting day you specify and over the following 9 calendar days until 23:59 on the last day. For example, if you purchase a 10-day Digital Vignette for August 10, it will remain valid from 00:00 on August 10 until 23:59 on August 19.
- The order confirmation, which includes the required control section “Voucher”, will be sent to you by email shortly (a few minutes) after the successful purchase.
Paper Vignette Austria
- Tolltickets offers Austrian paper vignette with validity periods of 2 months or 1 year. The annual vignette includes the last month of the previous year and the first month of the following year. The validity of a paper vignette depends on the period stated on your ticket.
- Austrian paper / sticker vignettes are excluded from the right of withdrawal as these are products that are personalized for a customer (with the exception of the annual vignette).
- The vignette is only valid when it is affixed to the inside of the windshield outside a tinted strip. An undamaged vignette is proof of proper payment of the toll.
- The paper / sticker vignette is being sent to you by post.
