In Slovakia - similar to Czechia - motor vehicles with a gross combined weight of > 3.5 t are subject to tolls on all motorways and expressways, as well as category 1 roads. However, sections of category 2 and 3 roads (corresponding to state and federal roads in Germany) are subject to tolls. Tolls are charged based on kilometres driven and the number of axles, tonnage and emission class.
Vehicles ≤ 3.5 t are subject to a vignette on most sections of motorways D1-4 and on some sections of expressways R1, 2, 4 and 6. Toll-free sections are signposted.
As a special case, for a towing vehicle and trailer, an electronic vignette is installed in each case, as soon as the the combined weight exceeds 3.5 t - even if the towing vehicle by itself does not exceed that limit.
As a driver of a vehicle subject to charges in Slovakia, you can get various services related to the SkyToll on-board unit or booking vignettes in a series of sales points.
Collection of Slovakian tolls
How tolls are collected
Open system:
Tolls are collected through an open system consisting of toll portals, GPS-GNS technology and a hybrid on-board unit that communicates using microwaves and satellite technology. A toll box is mandatory for vehicles with a permitted total weight > 3.5. Controls are performed based on DSRC technology.
Vignette system:
A time-based, prepaid toll charge applies to vehicles ≤ 3.5 t. The charge for the vignette is based on the valid period.
