If you plan to travel to the Czech Republic, you must either purchase a vignette or pay a distance-based toll in order to use the highways in the Czech Republic. We provide an overview of whether you can conveniently order a vignette for your vehicle from home or if you need to purchase a toll device for the distance-based toll at the toll stations on-site.
There are various vehicle classes that fall under the vignette obligation. However, in general, vehicles up to 3.5 t GVM need a vignette, while vehicles over 3.5 t GVM must pay a distance-based toll. However, there are exceptions.
As a motorcyclist, you neither need a vignette nor have to pay a distance-based toll. You can freely use all highways and expressways in the Czech Republic.
If you are traveling to the Czech Republic with your car, you will need a vignette. The distance-based toll is not applicable to you.
There is no difference whether you travel with or without a trailer. You only need a vignette for your passenger car. However, your towing vehicle must not weigh more than 3.5 t GVM; otherwise, the vignette obligation does not apply, and you must pay the distance-based toll.
If your motorhome has a total weight of over 3.5 t GVM, you must pay the distance-based toll, and the vignette obligation does not apply.
For all vehicles over 3.5 t GVM, the distance-based toll applies.
