Czech Vignette Information
A Czech vignette is a digital toll pass required for vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tons to use designated motorways in the Czech Republic.
The system transitioned from physical stickers to a fully electronic format, known as an elektronická dálniční známka.
This e-vignette is linked directly to your vehicle’s license plate number. When you purchase one, your plate is registered in a central database.
Authorities then use camera systems and patrol vehicles to scan license plates and verify that passing vehicles have a valid vignette.
This means there’s no physical sticker to display on your windshield, making the process cleaner and more convenient.
If you are driving a vehicle with at least four wheels and a maximum gross weight of 3.5 tons, you must have a valid vignette to use Czech motorways. This applies to most passenger cars, campers, and vans.
The obligation applies to the vehicle itself, not any trailers it might be towing. So, if you’re pulling a caravan or trailer with your car, you only need one vignette for the car, provided its total weight doesn’t exceed 3.5 tons.

Important: Identifying roads where a vignette is required is not difficult. White and green road signs mean that these roads require obtaining a Czech digital vignette.
Vehicles over 3.5t
Drivers of vehicles over 3.5t who plan to drive in the Czech Republic must register online in the MYTO system. Also, they are required to install a special device with a GPS. The toll will then be measured based on the mileage.

Exceptions to the vignette requirement in the Czech Republic
Certain vehicles are exempt from the vignette requirement. You do not need to purchase a vignette for:
- Motorcycles and trikes: Two-wheeled vehicles and tricycles are exempt from the vignette requirement when using motorways.
- Electric, hydrogen, or hybrid vehicles: Vehicles powered solely by electricity or hydrogen are fully exempt. Plug-in hybrids (PHEV) with CO2 emissions below 50 g/km are also exempt. However, you may need to register for the exemption beforehand.
- Historic vehicles: Cars registered as historic vehicles with a special license plate are exempt.
- Vehicles transporting certain disabled persons: Vehicles used for transporting individuals with specific Czech disability cards (ZTP or ZTP/P) are also exempt.
It’s crucial to verify your eligibility for an exemption before traveling. Abusing the exemption system can lead to significant fines.
Driving Without a Vignette: Penalties
Enforcement of the e-vignette system is highly efficient. The Czech Police and the Customs Administration use a network of cameras to automatically scan the license plates of vehicles on tolled motorways. Patrol cars are also equipped with this technology.
If you are caught on a designated motorway without a valid vignette, the penalties can be severe.
- A person who is driving without an active vignette should expect a fine of up to CZK 20,000.
- Misusing the right to exemption is subject to even higher penalties – up to CZK 100,000 for submitting an exemption notice without being entitled to do so, and up to CZK 5,000 if an eligible driver fails to submit the notice.
