What is a vignette road?

A vignette road is similar to a toll road, but unlike traditional tolls, vignette roads work
via a purchased sticker placed on the car’s windscreen. This sticker is referred to a
vignette sticker or a highway toll sticker. It is needed in several European countries in
order to drive on select roads. In some countries it is only needed for national motorways,
while in others it is required for the use of all roads.

Vignette stickers may be purchased for different lengths of time to match how long you’ll
need it for, including weekly, monthly and annually.

Do I need a vignette for my rental car?

Yes, just as you must pay tolls when driving a rental car, you must also ensure you have a
valid vignette sticker. Cars without vignettes are spotted by roadside cameras and will
incur a heavy fine, which will be handed on to the rental company. In turn, the supplier
will pass the penalty onto you along with additional admin charges. Fines may also be given
out if a vignette is not properly displayed on the windshield.
