Driving in Slovenia

The e-vignette is fully digital and camera-enforced — no sticker to buy or display. Winter equipment and headlight rules apply everywhere, and Ljubljana's centre is restricted.

Rules current as of September 2026 — verify before you go.
Tolls & vignettes
E-vignette required on motorways and expressways — digital only, tied to your plate.
Fine if ignored

No sticker to display; ANPR cameras read your plate at the gantry.

7 days €16 · 1 month €32 · annual €117.50 (car, 2026).

The weekly option covers exactly 7 days from your start date — an 8-day trip needs the monthly instead.

On-the-spot fines run €300–€800 for driving without one.
Fine if ignored

Enforcement is automatic; there's no warning stop first.

Karavanke tunnel toward Austria is tolled separately from the vignette.

Pay at the gate — the e-vignette doesn't cover it.

Equipment
Dipped headlights on at all times.

Same rule on every road, in every season.

Winter equipment required Nov 15–Mar 15: tires with ≥3mm tread or M+S rated, plus chains carried for mountain roads.
Fine if ignored

Checked at random roadside stops — carrying chains is mandatory even if you don't fit them.

Low-emission zones
Ljubljana's historic centre is a restricted traffic zone.

Cars need a permit or must park outside it — most hotels can arrange a temporary access code.

Speed limits
Motorway 130 km/h · expressway 110 · main roads 90 · built-up areas 50.

Limits drop sharply at village edges — radar there is common.

Emergency
112 — general emergency number.

Covers police, fire, and medical from any phone.

113 — police direct line.

Use if you already know it's a police matter, not medical or fire.
