A Czech vignette is required for motor vehicles with at least four wheels and a maximum permissible gross vehicle weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes. This applies to passenger cars, SUVs, vans and smaller commercial vehicles using tolled motorway sections.
Motorcycles do not need a Czech vignette. A trailer also does not require a separate vignette if the towing vehicle has GVW up to 3.5 t. You buy the vignette for the car registration number.

Fine for not having a vignette in the Czech Republic
Vignette control in the Czech Republic is electronic. Cameras and patrols check whether a valid e-vignette or toll exemption is assigned to the vehicle registration number. Risk also applies to an incorrect plate number, wrong country of registration, incorrect validity date or wrong category.
No vignette
Driving on a toll section without a valid e-vignette may result in a fine.
Wrong plate
The system compares the number automatically, so a typo matters.
Wrong date
The vignette must be active when driving on a tolled motorway.
Exemption
Foreign vehicles with an exemption may require prior registration.
Eco discounts, LPG, CNG and electric cars
The Czech Republic applies preferential rates for selected alternative-fuel vehicles. Discounts may apply to vehicles powered by natural gas, biomethane or some plug-in hybrids that meet emission requirements.
Note for electric car drivers from Poland
Electric and hydrogen vehicles may qualify for an exemption, but vehicles registered abroad may require prior notification. A green license plate in Poland alone is not always enough for automatic exemption recognition.
