Tunnels, bridges, motorway tolls and where you need a vignette — for your whole trip across Europe.
Planning a road trip across Europe? This map shows where you need a vignette, where motorways are paid at toll gates, and where roads are free for cars — so you can budget your tolls before you set off. See also: Vignettes, Fuel prices, Border queues, Toll tunnel & Toll bridge.
There are three ways you pay to drive across Europe: a time-based vignette, a pay-per-section toll, or free motorways. Knowing which applies in each country on your route lets you budget the tolls and buy any vignette before you leave.
A vignette is a time-based pass — a windscreen sticker or, increasingly, an e-vignette linked to your number plate — that covers all motorways in a country for a chosen period, from one day to a full year. For cars up to 3.5 t a vignette is required in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Moldova. Buy it online before you cross the border; cameras read your plate and fine unpaid vehicles automatically.
Here you pay for the distance you actually drive. You take a ticket when you join the motorway and pay at the exit barrier — by cash, bank card or an electronic transponder (Telepass in Italy, Via-T in Spain, Liber-t in France). This ticket system applies in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Croatia, Serbia and on parts of the A1, A2 and A4 in Poland.
Motorways are free for cars in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Baltic states and Scandinavia, among others. Watch out for two exceptions even here: individual Alpine tunnels and estuary bridges still charge a toll, and trucks over 3.5 t usually pay a separate distance-based toll (for example the German LKW-Maut).

Nakordoni lets you do both: learn the rules here, then plan the real trip. The calculator above shows the tolls, vignettes and fuel for your exact route, and the navigator can build a toll-free alternative — next to live border queues and fuel prices, all in one place. So you research the toll rules and then act on them without leaving the site.

Check fuel →A vignette is a time-based pass (a sticker or e-vignette) that lets you use all motorways in a country for a period — 1 day, 10 days, a year. A toll gate (ticket system) charges you per distance: you take a ticket on entry and pay at exit. Some countries use only one method, others combine both.
No. Poland has no vignette for cars. Most motorways are free; a few sections (parts of A1, A2, A4) are paid at toll gates or via the e-TOLL / Autopay apps.
Yes, German Autobahns are free for cars. Trucks over 3.5 t pay a distance-based toll (Maut).
Use the route planner and turn on the avoid-tolls option — it builds a toll-free alternative, usually a bit longer but at zero toll. Open the calculator above to compare.
Most motorways (autoroutes / autostrade) are paid per section. You take a ticket on entry and pay at exit by cash, card or Telepass. Prices depend on the distance and vehicle class.
Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Moldova require a vignette for cars. You can buy most of them online before your trip.
The biggest are the Alpine road tunnels (Mont Blanc, Fréjus, Gotthard road tunnel, Brenner, Karawanken, Tauern) and large estuary or strait bridges and tunnels in Scandinavia, France and the Balkans. Many lie in countries that are otherwise free or vignette-based, so they are billed separately — see the bridges & tunnels section above.
Often not. In vignette countries, cars buy a vignette while trucks over 3.5 t use a separate distance-based system (HU-GO in Hungary, the LKW-Maut in Germany, e-TOLL for heavy vehicles in Poland). Toll-gate countries charge both by vehicle class.
In vignette countries you buy the vignette online or at the border before driving. In toll-gate countries you take a ticket on entry and pay at the exit by cash, card or transponder. Always keep €20–50 in cash as a backup — not every lane accepts foreign cards.
Always use the official operator for each country (linked from the country cards above) — ASFINAG for Austria, edalnice.cz for Czechia, eznamka.sk for Slovakia, and so on. Buy a few days ahead; some e-vignettes only activate after a short delay.
Prices are estimates and may change. Always check the official operator before travelling.
