Slovenia vignette 2026: prices, rules and how to order
The Slovenian vignette costs €16.00 for 7 days, €32.00 for 1 month and €117.50 for a year for an ordinary car in toll class 2A. A campervan or high-roof van falls into class 2B and pays €32.00, €64.10 and €235.00 for the same periods, which is the single most expensive mistake drivers make at the Slovenian border.

How much does the Slovenia vignette cost in 2026?
The Slovenian e-vinjeta costs €16.00 for a week, €32.00 for a month and €117.50 for a year in toll class 2A, which is where an ordinary car sits. DARS, the state motorway company that operates the official evinjeta.dars.si shop, raised the annual 2A vignette from €115.00 to €117.50 for 2026 in line with inflation and left the weekly and monthly tariffs unchanged. Class 2B, the higher category, costs precisely double the annual 2A rate, and motorcycles in class 1 pay the least of anyone.
| Duration | Class 2A car | Class 2B van or camper | Class 1 motorcycle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 days | €16.00 | €32.00 | €8.00 |
| 1 month | €32.00 | €64.10 | not sold |
| 6 months | not sold | not sold | €32.00 |
| 1 year | €117.50 | €235.00 | €58.70 |
Official DARS fees, checked August 2026. Slovenia sells no single-day vignette, so the 7-day e-vinjeta is the shortest option even for a one-hour transit toward Croatia.
Toll class 2A or 2B: the measurement that catches campervans
Slovenia splits vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes into two toll classes by height measured above the front axle, and that single number decides whether you pay €117.50 or €235.00 a year. Class 2A covers vehicles up to 3,500 kg whose height above the first axle does not exceed 1.3 metres, which is most passenger cars, minivans, estates, SUVs and pick-ups. Class 2B covers vehicles of the same weight whose height above the first axle exceeds 1.3 metres, which in practice means campervans, motorhomes, high-roof panel vans and light trucks.
The measurement is taken above the front axle, not at the tallest point of the vehicle. A roof box, a bike rack or a raised rear body does not by itself move a car into class 2B, while a high-cab van is in 2B even when the load area behind is low. DARS treats a class 2B vehicle carrying a 2A vignette exactly as if it had no vignette at all, so an underpaid €117.50 becomes a fine of €300 or more.
DARS publishes a list of measured vehicle models, so owners of borderline campers can settle their Slovenian toll class before paying. If your vehicle is not on that list, measure from the ground to the top of the bodywork directly above the front axle.
Slovenia sells no vignette stickers
Slovenia abolished the adhesive vignette on 1 December 2021 and has issued only the electronic e-vinjeta since, so there is nothing to buy at a border kiosk and nothing to stick on the windscreen. The Slovenian vignette is a record in the DARS system tied to your licence plate and country of registration, and enforcement gantries above the motorway photograph the plate and check it against that register in real time.
Because the Slovenian vignette belongs to the plate rather than to the car, it cannot be moved to a second vehicle, and one mistyped character leaves you unregistered. Check the plate, the country of registration and the toll class on the confirmation email the moment it arrives.
When the Slovenian e-vignette becomes valid
A Slovenian e-vinjeta becomes valid on the start date you choose, and DARS lets you set that date up to 30 days ahead, counting the purchase date itself as day one of that window. Slovenia applies no Austrian-style withdrawal delay, so a vignette bought for today is valid today once the order reaches the register. The weekly e-vinjeta covers seven consecutive days including the first, the monthly one expires on the matching date of the following month, and the annual one runs a full year from the chosen start date.
One older Slovenian measure still reaches into 2026. DARS automatically extended by four months every annual e-vinjeta that was still valid on 1 December 2025, in compensation for major roadworks. Annual vignettes starting on or after 2 December 2025 run the normal twelve months.
Which roads the Slovenia vignette covers
The Slovenian vignette covers the DARS network of A motorways and H expressways, which carries almost all long-distance traffic through the country: the A1 from Maribor through Ljubljana to Koper, the A2 from the Karavanke tunnel to the Croatian border at Obrežje, and the A3, A4 and A5 links toward Italy, Croatia and Hungary. Slovenian regional and local roads carry no charge, so a vignette-free route always exists, although on the Ljubljana to Koper corridor it costs well over an hour.
One change took effect for 2026 and saves money on the coast. Slovenia reclassified the H5 and H6 coastal expressways, linking Koper with Škofije on the Italian border and with Izola, as ordinary main roads from 1 January 2026, so vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes need no e-vinjeta on them. DARS describes the measure as temporary, lasting until the Koper to Dragonja expressway is finished, and vehicles above 3.5 tonnes still pay through DarsGo.
The Karavanke tunnel is tolled separately
The Karavanke tunnel between Slovenia and Austria is excluded from the e-vinjeta and billed on its own, so a valid Slovenian vignette does not get you through it. A vehicle up to 3,500 kg in toll category R1 pays €9.00 per passage, collected at the Hrušica toll station heading north into Austria, while southbound traffic pays on the Austrian side. A DARS point card covering 14 passages costs €40.40, under €3 a crossing. The free alternative is the Ljubelj pass, which is slow and awkward for larger vehicles.
What happens if you drive without one
Driving a Slovenian motorway without a valid e-vinjeta carries a fine of between €300 and €800, among the harshest vignette penalties in Europe and roughly twenty times the price of a weekly permit. The amount is halved when paid on the spot or within eight days of the notice. Slovenian enforcement runs automatically through DARS camera gantries, backed by the financial administration and the police, and it is unforgiving about detail: a vignette that expired yesterday, or a 2B campervan registered as 2A, counts as no vignette at all.
How to order a Slovenian vignette through Vignettera
Choose the period and the start date, confirm whether the vehicle is class 2A or 2B, type the licence plate exactly as it appears on the vehicle, add the country of registration, and pay. Our team registers the Slovenian e-vinjeta with DARS, normally within 5 to 30 minutes during working hours, and emails a confirmation showing the plate, the toll class, the validity period and both the state fee and our service fee itemised. Keep that email on your phone, because the vignette itself exists only in the register.
You can equally buy the same e-vinjeta directly from DARS at evinjeta.dars.si and pay only the state fee. Drivers use Vignettera when one trip crosses several countries and the alternative is completing three or four national portals, each in its own language and with its own toll classes and validity rules.
Slovenia vignette FAQ
How much is the Slovenia vignette for a week?
The weekly Slovenian e-vinjeta costs €16.00 for a class 2A car, €32.00 for a class 2B van or campervan and €8.00 for a motorcycle at the 2026 DARS tariff. Slovenia sells no one-day vignette, so the weekly one is the minimum purchase even for a short transit toward Croatia or Italy.
Which class is my campervan in Slovenia?
A campervan up to 3.5 tonnes belongs to class 2B whenever its height above the front axle exceeds 1.3 metres, which is true of almost every high-roof or coachbuilt motorhome. Low-profile camper conversions on a car-derived van can still fall into 2A, so measure above the front axle or check the DARS list of measured vehicles before paying.
Do I need a vignette for a trailer or caravan in Slovenia?
No separate vignette is issued for a trailer in Slovenia. The Slovenian e-vinjeta is charged on the towing vehicle according to its own toll class and weight, so a class 2A car pulling a caravan buys one 2A vignette, as long as the towing vehicle itself stays within 3.5 tonnes.
Is the Slovenian annual vignette a calendar year?
No. The annual Slovenian e-vinjeta runs one full year from the start date you select and expires on the same date the following year, so buying in August 2026 gives cover into August 2027. That makes it different from the Austrian annual vignette, which always ends on 31 January.
Can I buy the Slovenian vignette at the border?
Slovenia no longer sells vignettes as stickers, so there is nothing to buy at a border booth. The e-vinjeta is bought online from DARS, through resellers, or at petrol stations and kiosks that register the plate electronically, and it should be arranged before the first tolled kilometre rather than after it.
Does the Slovenian vignette cover the Karavanke tunnel?
No. The Karavanke tunnel is outside the e-vinjeta system and costs €9.00 per passage for a vehicle up to 3,500 kg, paid at the Hrušica toll station northbound and on the Austrian side southbound. A DARS point card gives 14 passages for €40.40 for drivers who use the crossing regularly.
