Everything You Need to Know About Slovenia’s One-Week eVignette

Summer in Slovenia 2025 means sunshine, stunning alpine roads and bustling coastal highways. But before you embark on your Slovenian road trip—or simply drive through the country—make sure you’ve purchased the required e-vignette. This article answers all your key questions about the one-week e-vignette: what it is, who needs it, how much it costs, where to buy and how to use it.

What is an e-vignette and why was it introduced?

An e-vignette is a digital toll sticker that replaced the traditional paper vignette in January 2025. Instead of slapping a sticker on your windshield, you register your vehicle’s license plate online or at a sales point. The e-vignette grants unlimited use of all Slovenian motorways (avtoceste) and expressways (hitre ceste) for the duration you select—exactly like the old sticker but without the hassle of peeling and reapplying.
