Vignette for Motorhomes up to 3.5 t – Slovakia 2026
Check the current rules, types of vignettes, prices, and control system in force in Slovakia in 2026. Everything you need to know before traveling with a motorhome.
Does a motorhome up to 3.5 t need a vignette?
Yes. If your motorhome has a maximum permissible mass (GVW) up to 3.5 t, a vignette is mandatory when using motorways (D) and expressways (R).
- The GVW stated in the registration certificate counts.
- Also applies to quick transit.
- The system is fully electronic (no windscreen stickers).
How does the vignette system work in 2026?
Slovakia uses electronic vignettes exclusively. You don't need to stick anything to the windscreen – your e-vignette is assigned directly to the vehicle's registration number in a central database.
- You provide the registration number and country of registration.
- You select the appropriate validity period for the vignette.
- You set the start date of validity (you can buy in advance).
- You pay the order, and the system immediately registers the vehicle in the database.

Where does the vignette apply?
- Motorways (e.g., D1, D2, D3, D4)
- Expressways (e.g., R1, R2)
The vignette is not required on ordinary local roads, however, bypassing toll sections in the mountainous terrain of Slovakia often involves significant detours and time. Most international routes require an active road toll.
Penalties for not having a vignette
The control system in Slovakia operates continuously and automatically. Special cameras mounted on motorway gantries scan the registration plates of vehicles in motion.
Lack of a valid vignette at the time of entering a toll section automatically results in a fine ranging from 150 to 500 EUR.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does a trailer towed by a motorhome require a separate vignette?
If the maximum permissible mass (GVW) of the vehicle combination (motorhome + trailer) does not exceed 3.5 t, only one vignette for the towing vehicle is sufficient. If the combination exceeds 3.5 t, you must purchase an additional vignette for the trailer (category O1/O2).
Does the electronic vignette work immediately?
Yes, if you choose today's start date, the e-vignette becomes active immediately after payment is processed and you receive confirmation by email.
Does a motorhome over 3.5 t follow the same rules?
No. Heavy goods vehicles and motorhomes with a GVW over 3.5 t are subject to an electronic toll system for kilometers traveled (MYTO), not time-based vignettes.
