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
4 rules · 2 fine risksE-vignette required on motorways and expressways — digital only, tied to your plate.
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.
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
