About the Czech vignette
The Czech vignette (Edalnice) is mandatory for all vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes traveling on certain motorways in the Czech Republic.
The e-vignette is electronically linked to your vehicle’s license plate number, and unlike the physical sticker does not need to be affixed to your windshield. This system allows you to purchase your vignette online from anywhere in the world and begin using Czech toll motorways immediately upon confirmation of registration.
You can order the official Czech vignette on our site. Once successfully registered you will receive an email confirmation.
Why you need a vignette for Czech Republic
Driving on Czech toll roads without a valid vignette is illegal and results in significant penalties.
All motor vehicles (excluding motorcycles and trailers) weighing up to 3.5 tonnes must purchase a valid vignette when using toll roads in the Czech Republic. This requirement applies equally to Czech residents and foreign visitors, including tourists, business travelers, and anyone transiting through the Czech Republic.
How long is the Czech vignette valid for?
The e-vignette can be purchased for a day, ten days, 30 days or a year. You can choose the start date.
The vignette is valid up to 23:59 on the last day of the validity period.
Which vehicles need a vignette in the Czech Republic?
Cars up to 3.5t need a vignette.
Motorcycles do not require a Czech vignette. Trailers are also exempt.
If you have an electric or hydrogen-only vehicle registered abroad you can submit an exemption. Get in touch with us in this case.
What happens if you don't have a valid vignette in the Czech Republic?
Driving without a valid vignette on Czech toll roads is illegal and strictly enforced through cameras, police checks, and toll patrols. Offenders face immediate fines of up to CZK 20,000.
Checks for exemption abuse are also carried out. If a notice of exemption is submitted without a valid basis, the fine is up to CZK 100,000. If a car is eligible for exemption, but the driver did not submit the notice despite the law demanding it, the fine can reach up to CZK 5,000. The same fine can be levied on those who do not announce an end to the right to the exemption within 10 working days.
How long does the vignette take to arrive?
Once you place your order on our website the e-vignette will be delivered to you via email within a few hours.
Do I need a sticker?
No. If you order an e-vignette your number plate will be registered on the Czech system and it is not necessary to display anything in your vehicle. You will receive an email confirmation, however that does not need to be printed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Czech e-vignette?
The Czech electronic vignette is a digital toll pass that has replaced the old windscreen sticker and is mandatory for cars and other vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes on most Czech motorways and expressways. Instead of a physical sticker, your licence plate number is registered in the national toll system, and fixed cameras and mobile checks verify that your vehicle has a valid vignette for the chosen period.
When you buy a Czech e‑vignette, you select your vehicle category and validity (for example 1 day, 10 days, 30 days or 1 year), and during that period you can use all charged motorway and expressway sections in Czechia where the vignette requirement applies.
Why do you need a Czech vignette?
Driving on Czech toll motorways and expressways without a valid electronic vignette is illegal and can result in substantial on‑the‑spot fines, up to around CZK 20,000.
All motor vehicles and trailers weighing up to 3.5 tonnes must register for a toll pass.
Who needs a Czech vignette?
All passenger vehicles and other motor vehicles with at least four wheels and a maximum permissible weight up to 3.5 tonnes must have a valid Czech e‑vignette for the charged motorway and expressway sections, while heavier vehicles over 3.5 tonnes use the separate MYTO CZ distance‑based toll system instead; trailers themselves are not subject to the vignette.
How long is the Czech vignette valid for?
It is possible to purchase a Czech electronic vignette with a validity of 1 day, 10 days, 30 days or 1 year.
