== Do I Need an E-Vignette for Czech Republic? 2025 Update ==
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, you need an electronic vignette (e-vignette) to drive on Czech motorways and expressways - there are no toll booths or cash payment options. The Czech Republic operates a dual toll system: vignettes for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and distance-based tolls for heavier vehicles.</p>
  
−
Yes, all motor vehicles with at least 4 wheels and maximum weight up to 3.5 tonnes require a valid '''e-vignette''' to use Czech motorways and expressways. The electronic vignette system has been mandatory since January 1, 2021, replacing physical stickers.
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Driving without a valid vignette results in fines up to CZK 20,000 (€820). The electronic system automatically detects violations through license plate recognition cameras.</p>

Czech Republic Toll Roads Complete Guide

System: Electronic vignette + MYTO CZ distance-based toll

Do I Need a Vignette for Czech Republic? 2025 Update

Yes, you need an electronic vignette (e-vignette) to drive on Czech motorways and expressways - there are no toll booths or cash payment options. The Czech Republic operates a dual toll system: vignettes for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and distance-based tolls for heavier vehicles.

Key Reality: Driving without a valid vignette results in fines up to CZK 20,000 (€820). The electronic system automatically detects violations through license plate recognition cameras.

2025 Update: Vignette prices increased from January 1, 2025. Daily vignettes now cost CZK 210 (up from CZK 200), with eco-discounts continuing for electric, hybrid, and gas-powered vehicles.

Czech Republic Toll Costs: Current Rates

Czech Republic operates different toll systems for light and heavy vehicles, with environmentally-friendly discounts available.
