Our Story

2014

The Humble Beginning

We started in 2014 with a single product: the green Umweltplakette sticker for German low-emission zones. We bought them in bulk and mailed them to drivers across Europe—thousands of envelopes, all filled by hand. It was basic, it was slow, but it taught us the most important lesson in this business: drivers just want someone to take the hassle off their hands in a language they actually understand.

By 2017, we had added Slovenia to the mix, shipping physical Slovenian vignettes across Europe. We took same-day dispatch seriously enough that Freek would drive to Germany at 5 AM to collect stock and get back to the Netherlands in time for that day’s courier pickup. That’s not a story we invented for a marketing page. It’s what our business really looked like in the early years. And it’s why “fast” has been part of how we work ever since.

2021

Adapting to the Digital Era

That one product soon turned into a few, then a few more. When countries started moving to digital vignettes, we rebuilt our business around it. No more envelopes. No more postal delays. Just fast, digital delivery straight to your inbox. Slovenia went fully digital in 2022 (introduced 1 December 2021 and fully phased out on 1 February 2022 when the last “old yearly” physical sticker ran out), and we were ready for that transition from day one. A handful of products, like the German environmental sticker and the toll badges for France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, are still delivered the traditional way, but everything else is fully digital from start to finish.

2022

Founding Maut & Vignette B.V.

In 2022, we brought all our digital platforms, previously managed under Moonshots Online Marketing, together under Maut & Vignette B.V., a newly established company in the Netherlands. This allowed us to focus entirely on the European tolling market and launch the dedicated country sites you see today. Our mission hasn’t changed since then. We still strive to make buying a vignette as simple and stress-free as possible for every traveller, whatever language they speak and whatever country they’re driving in.

Today

A European Leader

Today, we operate tolling platforms in more than 15 European countries, have processed over 100,000 orders, and have grown into a team of 50+ people. What hasn’t changed is our approach: fast, reliable, and always in your language.

And yes, we drive the roads ourselves! 

We’ve crossed Austrian mountain passes, driven French autoroutes, and most recently, explored nearly every Slovenian motorway and major border crossing. When we write a guide or answer your question, we speak from firsthand experience, because we’ve been there.

We Drive the Roads We Write About

We don't just sell vignettes. We drive the roads ourselves, and we keep going back.

Slovenia, April 2026. Mattijs spent three days driving the Slovenian motorway network end to end. His route covered the A1 Štajerska corridor from Maribor down to the coast, the A2 Gorenjska corridor (including the Karawanken tunnel into Austria), the A3 to the Italian border, and the A5 across to Hungary.

Every major border crossing was documented in person: Šentilj into Austria, Pince into Hungary, Gruškovje/Macelj, Obrežje/Bregana and Dragonja into Croatia, and Fernetiči and Vrtojba into Italy.

We photographed DARS camera gantries at motorway entry points, noted which crossings had on-the-spot purchase options (almost none on the Slovenian side), timed the Karawanken tunnel toll queue (about ten minutes, €9), and observed the automatic licence plate recognition system in action at several locations. What you read on this site about Slovenian tolling reflects what we saw on those roads.

And we know the surrounding countries, too. That same April trip also covered the Austrian, Italian, Hungarian, and Croatian sides of every border we crossed, so we could document the full journey into Slovenia, not just what happens once drivers are on the DARS network. Freek has been driving this corridor for years, including the Karawanken route from Austria, long before the e-vinjeta system replaced the paper sticker. Between the two of us, we've covered the A1 Tauern through the Austrian Alps, the Italian autostrade down to Trieste, the Hungarian M7 and M70 feeding into the A5, and the Croatian A2 and A3 connecting to the southern crossings.

So when a driver asks us what it's like to enter Slovenia from Villach, Trieste, or Varaždin, the answer doesn't come from a map. It comes from our own experience.

Up next: a summer 2026 motorhome trip. Mattijs will be heading back to Slovenia this summer with his own motorhome to test the Category 2A registration in real-world conditions (motorhomes are classified as 2A, regardless of height, which trips up a lot of drivers on their first vignette purchase).

It's important that motorhomes are correctly classified as such in the vehicle documents (M1 category). We'll also be checking how the DARS system handles the plate and what the camper routes from Austria, Italy, and Croatia are actually like during peak season. This page will be updated afterwards with our findings.

Our guides are based on real journeys by real people. That's not a marketing line. It's just how we work.

Buying a vignette shouldn’t mean navigating a government website in a language you don’t understand, or wondering if your payment actually went through. Whether you’re heading off on a family holiday or driving for work, ordering an e-vinjeta should be simple, clear, and secure. That’s why we built vignetteslovenia.si.

Simple

Purchase in your own language (22 languages supported). No confusing forms. No DARS portal in Slovenian unless you want it.

Honest

No hidden fees. The official DARS price and our service fee are shown separately before you pay.

Fast

Your e-vinjeta is registered in the DARS database and valid within minutes.

Vignetteslovenia.si isn’t a standalone site. It’s part of a wider network operated by Maut & Vignette B.V., covering Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and more—over 15 European countries in total. That scale allows us to offer better systems, more payment options, and a team that has seen almost every tolling scenario you can think of. Tolling isn’t just one of the things we do. It’s all we do.
