Do You Need a Czech Vignette?

Understanding the regulations is crucial to avoid heavy fines. All vehicles using the Czech motorway network are monitored by an automatic number plate recognition system.

Mandatory

Vehicles That Require Registration

Most passenger vehicles traveling on Czech toll roads must have a valid electronic vignette linked to their license plate number.

  • check Standard Vehicles: All motor vehicles with at least four wheels and a maximum permissible weight of 3.5 tonnes.
  • check Trailers: Trailers are not subject to the vignette requirement. Only the towing vehicle needs a valid vignette if the combined weight exceeds 3.5 tonnes.
  • check Foreign Plates: The obligation applies to all vehicles regardless of the country of registration when using toll roads.
Exemptions

Vehicles Exempt From Purchase

Certain categories of vehicles are automatically exempt or can apply for exemption from the toll fee.

  • check Motorcycles: Two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles and scooters) are completely exempt and do not need a vignette.
  • check Electric Vehicles: Battery Electric (BEV) and Hydrogen (FCEV) cars are exempt, but foreign-plated vehicles must submit an exemption notification form.
  • check Heavy Vehicles (>3.5t): Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes (trucks, buses, large RVs) must pay toll via a dedicated on-board unit (OBU) system, not via vignette.

Where the Czech Vignette Applies

The Czech vignette is required on all designated motorways (marked with "D" for Dálnice) and expressways (marked with "R" for Rychlostní silnice). The toll network connects Prague to all major cities and international border crossings. Without a valid vignette, automatic plate recognition cameras will flag your vehicle immediately.

Route Name / Direction Length
D1 Prague – Brno – Ostrava – PL border 376 km
D2 Brno – Lanžhot – SK border 61 km
D5 Prague – Rozvadov – DE border 151 km
D8 Prague – Krásný Les – DE border 92 km
D11 Prague – Hradec Králové – PL border 154 km

Toll-Free Sections

Certain urban sections near Prague and Brno do not require a vignette. These are marked with signs reading "BEZ POPLATKU" (without toll) or showing a crossed-out vignette symbol. At the Rozvadov and Petrovice border crossings, the first section of motorway leading to the nearest service area is also toll-free—giving you time to purchase at a kiosk if needed.

However, if your route continues onto the main motorway network beyond these sections, you will need registration. When in doubt, purchasing a vignette ensures you're covered for your entire journey.

Team Observation

"A personal note of caution: we found during our test drive that the purchase kiosk at X is closed and has been moved."

Driving Without a Valid Vignette

Czech authorities use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) across the entire toll network. Camera gantries are positioned at border crossings and throughout the motorway corridors. The system checks your plate against the national registration database in real time—there's no grace period, and enforcement begins the moment you enter a toll section. Police officers also use scanning tools and perform regular check at gas stations and rest areas.

gavel How Enforcement Works

  • videocam Camera Gantries: Automated scanning at all toll points.
  • local_police On-the-spot Fines: Police patrols with mobile payment terminals.
  • public International: Fines are mailed to vehicle owners abroad.
  • warning Standard violation: 5,000 – 20,000 CZK (€200 – €800)

Foreign drivers are not exempt from enforcement. Czech authorities cooperate with EU and non EU countries on fine collection, and unpaid fines can follow you home.

Do I need a vignette for a rental car? expand_more
Most rental cars hired within the Czech Republic already have a vignette. However, if you rent a car in a neighboring country (like Germany or Austria) and drive into the Czech Republic, you must buy a vignette yourself.
