Austria annual vignette online
Year-round digital access to Austrian motorways and expressways — best value if you drive in Austria many times per year.
AllVignette is an independent online service. We are not ASFINAG or any other national toll operator. The service fee is included in the price shown. We purchase the official e-vignette from the national operator and send confirmation to your email.
Who is the annual vignette for?
Regular visitors to Austria, cross-border commuters, and anyone driving on ASFINAG motorways more than a few times a year.
Valid for 12 months from the start date according to the product rules shown at checkout. Motorcycles: select the correct vehicle type for the lower tariff.
Start date and the 18-day rule
Your activation date is chosen during purchase. Through our service the vignette is registered for the period you confirm at checkout.
Direct ASFINAG annual purchases by private consumers can be subject to an 18-day waiting period. If you need immediate travel, consider 1-day or 10-day options.
What it covers
Unlimited use of the vignette-required motorway network for the annual validity period — the standard tourist and commuter product.
Cheaper per trip than buying multiple short-term vignettes if you use Austrian motorways regularly.
What is not included
All section tolls and special routes remain extra — especially important for Brenner and alpine tunnels.
Does not replace GO-Box for heavy commercial vehicles.
How to buy
Choose annual period, enter plate and email, pay online — confirmation arrives by email.
FAQ — Austria annual vignette
Do I need a vignette in Austria?
Yes. Every vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes using Austrian motorways (Autobahn) or expressways (Schnellstraße) must have a valid vignette. This includes transit trips — even passing through for 20 minutes requires one.
What is the fine for driving without a vignette in Austria?
The substitute toll is €120, payable on the spot. If not paid, penalties can escalate up to €3,000. Automatic cameras scan license plates, so getting caught is essentially guaranteed.
How fast does the digital vignette activate?
The 1-day and 10-day digital vignettes activate immediately after purchase. Unlike the 2-month and annual versions (which have an 18-day legal waiting period when bought directly from ASFINAG), short-term vignettes are usable right away.
Does my vignette cover the Brenner Pass or Arlberg Tunnel?
No. Several special routes require additional tolls: Brenner Pass (A13), Arlberg Tunnel (S16), Karawanken Tunnel, Tauern Tunnel, Pyhrn Autobahn. These are paid separately at toll stations. The regular vignette covers the rest of the network.
Can I use the vignette if I change my license plate?
No. The digital vignette is linked to a specific license plate number. If you change plates (new car, new registration), you need to purchase a new vignette. Store your confirmation email — you may need it to claim a partial refund from ASFINAG in case of a total loss.
Do motorcycles need an Austrian vignette?
Yes. Motorcycles need their own vignette (at a reduced rate). The digital version is linked to the plate, so it works the same way as for cars.
