−
 
 
−
Belarus uses the '''BelToll electronic toll system''' for specific vehicle categories. Whether you need to pay depends on your vehicle weight and registration country:
 
−
 
 
−
'''Must Pay Tolls:'''
 
−
* '''Heavy vehicles:''' All vehicles over 3.5 tonnes maximum laden weight (MLW)
 
−
* '''Light vehicles:''' Cars and light vehicles under 3.5 tonnes registered '''outside''' the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU)
 
  
−
'''Exempt from Tolls:'''
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">It depends on your vehicle and registration country. Belarus operates a selective toll system through BelToll that applies only to specific vehicle categories, not all drivers.</p>
−
* '''EEU registered vehicles:''' Light vehicles under 3.5 tonnes registered in Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, or Armenia
 
−
* '''Emergency vehicles, motorcycles, and special purpose vehicles'''

Coverage: 1,786 km of motorways and expressways
Currency: Euro (EUR)
Technology: OBU transponders for heavy vehicles, Electronic vignette for cars

Do I Need to Pay Tolls in Belarus? 2025 Update

It depends on your vehicle and registration country. Belarus operates a selective toll system through BelToll that applies only to specific vehicle categories, not all drivers.

You MUST pay tolls if:

  • Vehicle over 3.5 tonnes (all heavy vehicles, trucks, buses)
  • Cars under 3.5 tonnes registered OUTSIDE Eurasian Economic Union (Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan)

You are EXEMPT if:

  • Car under 3.5 tonnes registered in Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, or Kyrgyzstan
  • Motorcycles (all countries)
  • Emergency vehicles, humanitarian aid transports (with permits)

Belarus Toll Costs: Current Rates

Belarus uses two different payment systems depending on vehicle weight, with rates updated September 2024.

Electronic Vignette Rates (Cars ≤3.5 tonnes) - 2025

Validity Period Price (EUR) Best For
15 calendar days €20 Short visits, transit
30 calendar days €31 Extended stays, business trips
1 calendar year* €107 Regular users, residents

*Annual vignette includes 15-day grace periods (Dec 16-31 of previous year, Jan 1-15 of following year)

Distance-Based Rates (Vehicles >3.5 tonnes) - 2025

Vehicle Category Rate per km (EUR) Example: 100km
Heavy vehicles, 2 axles €0.114 €11.40
Heavy vehicles, 3 axles €0.142 €14.20
Heavy vehicles, 4+ axles €0.171 €17.10

How to Pay Belarus Tolls

Payment method depends on your vehicle category:

For Cars ≤3.5 tonnes: Electronic Vignette

  • Online: ev.beltoll.by (recommended, immediate activation)
  • In person: BelToll Customer Service Points at borders and along toll roads
  • Payment methods: Bank cards (Visa, MasterCard, Belkart, MIR), cash (BYN)
  • Important: License plate recognition system - no physical device needed

For Heavy Vehicles >3.5 tonnes: OBU System

  • Device required: On-Board Unit (OBU) installed on windscreen
  • Security deposit: €50 (refundable when returning OBU)
  • Registration: Required at BelToll Customer Service Points
  • Payment modes: Prepaid or postpaid with fleet cards
  • Technology: DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication)

Recent Changes (2025)

September 2024 Rate Updates:

  • Heavy vehicle rates increased: 2-axle vehicles now €0.114/km (from €0.09/km)
  • 3-axle vehicles: €0.142/km (from €0.115/km)
  • 4+ axle vehicles: €0.171/km (from €0.145/km)
  • Electronic vignette prices remain stable for cars

System Improvements:

  • Enhanced license plate recognition for electronic vignettes
  • Improved mobile payment options at Customer Service Points
  • Extended network coverage: 1,786 km of toll roads operational

Planning Your Journey

Cost Considerations

  • Transit through Belarus: €20 for 15-day vignette covers most journeys
  • Extended stay: €31 for 30 days often more economical than multiple short vignettes
  • Heavy vehicles: Budget €8-17 per 100km depending on axle count

Violation Penalties

  • Grace period: 2 hours to make single toll payment after violation
  • Cars without vignette: €100 penalty
  • Heavy vehicles without OBU: €130-260 depending on axles

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I avoid Belarus tolls completely?

Partially. Some motorways outside Minsk remain toll-free, but major highways including most international routes are tolled. Alternative routes exist but significantly increase travel time.

Do I need physical documents for electronic vignette?

No physical sticker required. The system uses license plate recognition. Keep your purchase confirmation email for reference, but no windscreen display needed.

What if my vehicle is registered in EU but not Eurasian Economic Union?

You must pay tolls. Only vehicles registered in Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, or Kyrgyzstan are exempt. EU registration doesn't provide exemption.

How long does annual vignette validity extend?

Annual vignettes include 30 days of grace periods: 15 days before January 1st and 15 days after December 31st. If purchased mid-year, it extends to January 15th of the following year.
