Slovakia and Czechia highway vignette pricing policies

Overview

Transport authorities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic have taken steps to manage highway vignette costs for motorists. In Slovakia, Minister of Transport Jozef Ráž announced that prices will remain stable for 2027 to avoid adding to the financial burden of fuel costs. The 365-day electronic vignette is set to remain at 90.00 EUR, with shorter-term options available for 1, 10, or 30 days.

In the Czech Republic, legislative efforts have focused on abolishing the automatic price adjustment mechanism that previously linked vignette costs to inflation. If successful, the annual vignette for standard passenger vehicles would stay at 2,570 koruna starting in January 2027. While the government intends to shift road maintenance costs toward heavy freight, opposition members have cautioned that removing automatic valorization could lead to a revenue loss of several hundred million koruna for the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure.
