In Slovakia, there are many roads subject to the vignette requirement. To use these roads, you must purchase a vignette in advance. If you use toll-required roads without a vignette, fines may be imposed. Therefore, avoid this risk and pay attention to the roads that require a vignette.
Almost all motorways and express roads in Slovakia are subject to a vignette requirement. Sections without tolls are marked with signs displaying "BEZ UHRADY." The digital vignette (also called the E-vignette) for Slovak motorways and expressways replaced the original paper vignette and has been in use since 2020.
Not every vehicle is subject to the vignette requirement. In addition to the vignette requirement, Slovakia also has a distance-based toll. More information about the different vehicle classes and when your vehicle is subject to the vignette requirement or the distance-based toll can be found in our article on Vehicle Classes as well as the explanation of Vignette vs. Distance-Based Toll.

While it is possible to avoid toll roads, the map and our route overview clearly show that there are significant restrictions (especially regarding motorways and express roads). Avoiding vignette-required sections is practically impossible, especially if you plan to travel deeper into the country. To avoid fines, you should be prepared and travel with a digital vignette.
