*Free: Motorways are automatically free for vehicles registered in the Czech Republic. Drivers of vehicles registered abroad must submit an application for exemption from motorway tolls on the edalnice.gov.cz website.
The obligation to pay the toll does not apply to motorcycles and trailers. Vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons pay highway fees in the form of electronic tolls.
You can choose the start of validity when purchasing the vignette.
The Czech vignette is non-transferable. This means that it is permanently attached to the vehicle for which it was purchased and cannot be used for another vehicle.
So when buying or selling a vehicle, the vignette always stays with the vehicle.
On the edalnice.gov.cz website, you can easily check whether and how long the vignette is valid by entering the registration number.
Vehicles registered outside the Czech Republic are exempt from tolls only if they are electric, hydrogen or hybrid vehicles and their CO2 emissions are below 50 g/km.
To obtain an exemption, you must submit a notice on this form.
