Overview
- The Nationalrat approved the end of adhesive windshield vignettes, making Austria’s motorway tolls digital-only from December 1, 2026.
- The digital vignette remains available through the same channels, including online sales and in-person purchases at kiosks, petrol stations and toll points.
- Usage is already shifting strongly to digital, with more than 75% of annual vignettes now bought electronically.
- ÖVP traffic spokesman Joachim Schnabel estimates annual savings of €3–5 million and points to reduced mailing needs and forgery risks.
- Prices for 2026 are set, including an annual vignette at €106.80, with one-day, ten-day and two-month options available; fines for driving without a valid vignette start at €120.
