help Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a vignette for a rental car in Slovenia?
Check with your rental company. Many include an e-vinjeta, but not all. You can verify any license plate at evinjeta.dars.si to check if it has valid coverage.
Can I buy the e-vigneta at the border?
Yes! You can buy online even while waiting at the border – it's valid immediately. There are also sales kiosks at major border crossings.
What if I entered my license plate incorrectly?
Contact DARS customer service immediately. Incorrect plates mean your vignette is invalid, and you could receive a fine. Keep your purchase confirmation email!
Is there a 1-day vignette for Slovenia?
No, the shortest option is 7 days (€16.00). Even for a short transit, you need the weekly vignette.
Does the e-vinjeta cover the Karawanken Tunnel?
No! The Karawanken Tunnel on the Austria-Slovenia border has a separate toll. You must pay this at the toll station in addition to having a valid e-vinjeta.
Can I drive to the Croatian coast without a vignette?
Technically yes, using regional roads, but it's not recommended. The mountain roads are slow, winding, and add 1-2 hours. The €15 vignette saves significant time and fuel.
Is the 7-day vignette calendar days or 168 hours?
It's 168 hours (7 × 24h) from your chosen start time, not calendar days. If you start at 2:00 PM on Monday, it's valid until 2:00 PM the following Monday.
