In Slovakia, all motorways and most dual carriageways are subject to a mandatory toll for trucks over 3.5 tonnes, which is billed via the state electronic on-board unit (OBU). The toll serves to finance, maintain and expand transport infrastructure and ensures that roads remain safe and efficient.

Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes subject to tolls

Trucks and other vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are subject to tolls in Slovakia. The on-board unit automatically records distances travelled and calculates the charges. The amount of the toll depends on the distance driven, number of axles, permissible total weight and emissions class of the vehicle.

Toll-exempt vehicles

Rescue, police, fire and emergency response vehicles are exempt from tolls. Certain agricultural and forestry vehicles and vehicles with diplomatic licence plates do not have to pay tolls. In addition, low-emissions or alternative drive vehicles benefit from discounts.

Carbon toll

The CO₂-differentiated toll in Slovakia takes into account the emission class of the vehicle. Trucks with higher carbon emissions pay higher fees, while eco-friendly vehicles get discounts. The system is intended to make freight transport more sustainable and promote climate-friendly technologies.

In Slovakia, cars up to 3.5 tonnes must carry a vignette to use toll roads. The toll is used to finance, maintain and modernise the road and motorway network and ensure safe and comfortable traffic flow. The vignette is available in various forms and can be purchased digitally via the internet or via app, as well as at fuel stations and authorised sales outlets.

Vignettes are automatically recorded electronically, so that violations are detected quickly. Drivers travelling without a valid vignette face heavy fines. The vignette system is transparent, user-friendly and enables easy management by authorities, ensuring road safety and efficiency.

The toll is charged differently depending on vehicle class.

For vehicles under 3.5 tonnes

Vehicles under 3.5 tonnes pay the toll in Slovakia via digital vignettes. Vignettes can be purchased online, via apps or at authorised sales outlets and are valid for different durations of time. Electronic control is carried out automatically, which quickly detects violations and ensures compliance with the mandatory toll.

For vehicles over 3.5 tonnes

For trucks and other vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, invoicing takes place via the electronic toll system.
