On our website, you can buy a digital vignette for Austria. The best part is that it’s valid immediately after payment and confirmation. So, what are you waiting for? Driving on Austrian roads with a digital vignette is just a click away.
Like other countries in the EU, in recent years, Austria decided to introduce a digital vignette for motorways and expressways. Vignettes are compulsory but the classic sticker is still available.
However, the digital version offers holidaymakers a much simpler alternative. In the future, it will be possible to drive on the country’s motorways and expressways without first having to stop at a service station or another sales point.

special toll sections
The digital vignette for Austria is not valid for all motorway
sections. Exceptions apply to certain parts, which you should
consider as a passenger car driver at the respective toll booth.
These toll sections are also called “special toll” sections and
do not require the usual vignette for Austria, but a digital route
toll with video. This applies to the following route sections and
road tunnels:
In addition to the above-mentioned routes, which consist of sections before the respective
tunnel, there are some motorways in Austria that are toll-free. This refers, for example, to
the section on the A1 Westautobahn from the Walserberg border crossing towards
Salzburg Nord (Land Salzburg). On the way to Kufstein Süd (Tyrol) on the A12, you also
do not have to pay a toll from Kiefersfelden.
