Prices and validity periods

In Slovakia, the obligation to have a vignette applies to passenger cars, vans, and campers on all highways and motorways. If you are driving a car with a trailer and the total weight is less than 3,500 kg, you are not required to obtain a separate digital vignette for the trailer. However, for combinations where the car and trailer together weigh more than 3,500 kg, a separate digital vignette is necessary for the trailer.
It’s important to note that motorcyclists are exempt from the need to purchase a digital vignette in Slovakia.

- 10 Days: Vignette validity is for 10 calendar days from the start date
- Monthly: Vignette validity is for 30 days from the start date
- 12 Months: Vignette validity is for 12 months from the start date
- Calendar Year: Vignette validity is until the 31st of January in the following year.
Essential Car Safety Items
When driving in Slovakia, alongside having a valid vignette, there are several other compulsory items you need to carry in your vehicle:
Warning Triangle: Crucial for signaling other drivers in case of a breakdown or emergency situation on the road.
Safety Vest: Essential for ensuring your visibility, especially important during roadside stops or in low-light conditions.
Car First Aid Kit/Bag: A must-have for administering basic medical assistance in case of minor injuries or emergencies.
Spare Wheel (including changing equipment) or Tire Repair Kit: Necessary unless your vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires or similar alternatives.
The presence of certain safety items in your vehicle is a fundamental requirement under Slovakian road safety regulations. This necessity is not solely for regulatory compliance but also plays a pivotal role in ensuring your safety and preparedness on Slovakian roads. Such adherence is instrumental in fostering a secure and responsible driving environment.
Please note that once your order for a Slovakia digital vignette has been processed, it cannot be refunded. This policy underscores the importance of ensuring all details are correct before finalizing your digital vignette purchase.
