help Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a vignette for Moldova if I'm just passing through?
Yes, all foreign-registered vehicles need an e-vinieta to use Moldovan national roads, even for transit. The 7-day option (~€4) is perfect for short visits or transit.
Can I drive from Romania to Ukraine through Moldova?
Yes! You'll need a Romanian Rovinieta (~€3) and a Moldovan E-Vinieta (~€4). Ukraine doesn't require a vignette. The route through Moldova is often used to reach Odesa.
Is the vignette valid in Transnistria?
The Moldovan e-vinieta is valid throughout the entire country, including Transnistria. However, be prepared for additional checkpoints when entering/exiting Transnistria.
Can I pay in Euros?
The official website accepts international cards and shows prices in both MDL (Moldovan Lei) and EUR. Payment in Euros is usually possible.
Why is there a 15-day option?
Moldova offers a 15-day vignette as a middle option between 7 and 30 days. It's useful if a week isn't quite enough for your trip but you don't need a full month.
Is driving in Moldova safe?
Road conditions in Moldova vary. Main roads (M roads) are generally in acceptable condition. Secondary roads can be poor. Drive carefully, especially at night, and watch for potholes.
Do Moldovan rental cars have vignettes?
Moldovan-registered vehicles don't need the e-vinieta (they pay road tax differently). If you rent a car in Moldova, it's already covered. Only foreign-registered vehicles need to purchase the e-vinieta.
