Slovenia Vignette Prices 2026: How Much Do They Cost?

Planning a trip through Slovenia in 2026? Here’s what you’ll pay for an e-vinjeta this year. The table below covers motorcycles and all vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, with the official DARS price, our service fee, and the total you’ll actually pay on this site. Prices are shown in euros by default, but you can switch to GBP, CZK, CHF, HUF, RON or another currency.

Slovenia Vignette Prices for Vehicles Up to 3.5 Tonnes

These are the 2026 e-vinjeta prices for each vehicle category, with the DARS rate and our service fee shown separately. A quick guide to the categories before you choose:

All prices include VAT. The official rate is set by DARS (Družba za avtoceste v Republiki Sloveniji) and is the same wherever you buy. Our service fee covers order processing, currency handling, multilingual support, and instant digital delivery.

Slovenia E-Vinjeta Price by Vehicle Category

Your vehicle category determines which vignette you need and how much you pay. DARS assigns the category, so you can’t choose it yourself, and buying the wrong category makes your vignette invalid. That works both ways. We regularly hear from drivers who bought a 2B vignette thinking they were “playing it safe”, only to be fined because their vehicle was actually registered as 2A. DARS checks your category against the vehicle’s registration details, not the amount you paid. Paying more doesn’t protect you. Buying the right category does.

Here’s how the three categories break down.

Category 1

Motorcycles

Single-track motor vehicles with a track width up to 50 cm. This covers almost all standard motorcycles and most scooters. Three-wheeled motorcycles with a track wider than 50 cm don’t fall under Category 1; they’re classified as 2A.

Most common

Category 2A

Cars and Vans up to 3.5 Tonnes (height ≤ 1.3 m)

Vehicles up to 3,500 kg with a height of 1.3 m or less measured over the front axle. This is the category most drivers need: standard passenger cars, SUVs, pick-ups, minivans, off-road vehicles. One useful exception to remember: motorhomes are classified as 2A by DARS, regardless of their actual height.

Category 2B

Taller Vehicles up to 3.5 Tonnes (height > 1.3 m)

Vehicles up to 3,500 kg with a height above 1.3 m, measured over the front axle. In practice, that’s taller vans, some larger SUVs, and multi-purpose work vehicles. Category 2B is purely about vehicle height. It has nothing to do with whether you’re towing a trailer or caravan. In Slovenia, trailers don’t need their own vignette. You only pay for the towing vehicle, in whichever category that vehicle belongs to. Driving something heavier than 3.5 tonnes? Then you’re outside the e-vinjeta system entirely. Heavy vehicles pay a distance-based toll through DarsGo, which requires an on-board unit.

Key Updates for 2026

There are two things worth knowing before you buy your vignette. Both are new for 2026, and both could save you money and prevent problems:

The H5 and H6 coastal expressways are no longer tolled

Since 1 January 2026, vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes no longer need an e-vinjeta to use the H5 or H6 along the coast. They’ve been temporarily reclassified as main roads (G1-11 and G2-111) until the new Koper–Dragonja expressway opens. If the Slovenian coast is your only destination, you might not need a vignette at all, though you’ll still need one to get there via the A1.

Four-month extension on certain annual vignettes

Slovenia’s parliament passed an act extending every annual e-vinjeta that was still valid on 1 December 2025 by an extra four months. If you bought an annual vignette in 2025 and it hadn’t expired by that date, the end date has already shifted forward automatically. There’s nothing to do on your end.

One thing the annual vignette isn’t: a calendar-year product. It runs for 365 days from your chosen start date (or from the date of purchase if you don’t pick one). So, an annual vignette bought in July 2026 stays valid until July 2027, not 31 December.

How much does a Slovenia vignette cost in 2026?

It depends on your vehicle and how long you need the vignette for. Prices start at €12.50 for a 7-day motorcycle vignette and go up to €259.95 for an annual Category 2B. The full breakdown, including the official DARS rate, our service fee, and the total you actually pay, is in the price table above.

Is there a 1-day vignette for Slovenia?

No. Slovenia doesn’t sell a 1-day e-vinjeta. The shortest option is 7 days. That takes a lot of drivers by surprise, especially if they’re used to purchasing vignettes for other European countries. In Slovenia, even if you’re only passing through for a few hours, a 7-day vignette is the minimum.

What is the price of a 7-day Slovenia vignette?

It depends which category your vehicle falls into. Motorcycles (Category 1) and standard passenger cars (Category 2A) pay the lowest 7-day rates, while taller vehicles in Category 2B pay roughly double. Exact 7-day totals for each category are listed in the price table above.

How much is the annual Slovenia vignette?

The annual price for a standard passenger car (Category 2A) is listed in the price table above, and it runs for 365 days from your chosen start date. Annual options are also available for motorcycles and Category 2B vehicles at different price points. If you drive in Slovenia more than a few times a year, the annual option usually works out cheaper than buying monthly vignettes.

Does the vignette cover the Karawanken tunnel?

No, and this one catches a lot of drivers out. The Karawanken tunnel between Slovenia and Austria has its own separate toll of €9 for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. This is paid at the toll station on the Austrian side before you enter the tunnel. Your Slovenian e-vinjeta covers the motorways on either end, but not the tunnel itself. On our April 2026 research trip, we paid €9 in person, waited about ten minutes in the queue, and drove through. If this is your route, we recommend that you budget a little extra time and keep that €9 ready.

What are the vehicle categories and how do I pick the right one?

Slovenia uses three categories for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes: Category 1 for motorcycles, Category 2A for cars and vans up to 1.3 m over the front axle, and Category 2B for anything taller. Motorhomes are always 2A, whatever their height. The full breakdown is in the “Slovenia E-Vinjeta Price by Vehicle Category” section above. If you’re not sure which one applies, your vehicle registration document will tell you. Choosing the wrong category makes your vignette invalid in the DARS system, so it’s worth getting right.

What are the different Slovenia vignette validity periods?

For cars (Category 2A) and taller vehicles (Category 2B), you have three options: 7 days, 1 month, and 1 year. For motorcycles (Category 1), the options are slightly different: 7 days, 6 months, and 1 year. There’s no monthly motorcycle vignette, and Slovenia doesn’t sell a 1-day vignette in any category. Every category and validity combination is priced in the table above.

Can I buy a Slovenia vignette online?

Yes, from anywhere, at any time. It only takes a few minutes. Simply choose your vehicle category, then enter your licence plate number and country of registration. Next, select your validity period and start date, then pay. Your plate is registered in the official DARS system shortly after payment, and you’ll get confirmation by email.
