In Romania, toll costs are charged on motorways (autostrăzi), expressways (drumuri Expres) and national roads (drumuri Naționale). These are marked as A, DX, and DN. A valid e-vignette is mandatory for travel on these roads.
The roads that are part of the European network, marked with an E, also pass through Romania. These E-roads coincide with the motorways (A) and national roads (DN).
A valid vignette is required for the following sections:
The motorways including European roads: A1 (E81, E68, E79, E671, E68), A2 (E81, E87), A3 (E60), A4 (E87), A10 (E81), A11 (E671), A0 (E81).
The national roads including E-roads: DN1 (E60), DN2 (E85), DN6 (E70), DN7 (E68).
The expressway including E-road: DX12 (E574).
In addition to the e-vignette, the following bridges require a separate toll fee:
Fetești-Cernavodă Bridge (A2 Motorway)
Giurgeni-Vadu Oii Bridge (DN2A)
Calafat-Vidin Bridge (Romania-Bulgaria border)
Giurgiu-Ruse Bridge (Romania-Bulgaria border)

A vignette is not required on national roads that pass through cities, towns, and villages between the entry and exit signs of the locality.

Unlike other countries, driving in Romania with a lorry also requires a vignette. Lorries are covered under categories E and F, depending on the number of axles. So be aware that Romania is an exception and does not make use of distance-based toll systems.
Driving without a valid e-vignette can lead to hefty fines. Don’t take the risk and be sure your vehicle is provided with the correct Romanian vignette before starting your journey.
In Romania, driving on toll roads without a valid vignette is not permitted, and there is no grace period for driving without one. If you are caught driving without a valid vignette, you can be fined immediately. So be aware that you are not accidentally driving on a Romanian toll road.
The obligation to have a valid vignette in Romania is monitored using multiple methods to ensure compliance:
Automatic camera systems: License plates are scanned by automatic cameras installed on toll roads to verify the presence of a valid electronic vignette or exemption in the CNAIR database.
Patrol cars: Romanian Police and Customs Administration vehicles are equipped with license plate recognition cameras to conduct on-the-spot checks for compliance.
Inspections at rest stops: Vehicles may be inspected at rest stops or parking areas by authorities to confirm the validity of their vignette.
If you have bought no motorway vignette or the wrong vignette, you will always face a penalty, as both scenarios are treated as not having a valid vignette at all.
No, Romanian vignettes are not transferable between vehicles. The Rovinieta toll system strictly links the vignette to the vehicle's registration number at the time of purchase, ensuring it is valid exclusively for that specific vehicle.
If you sell your car or change your license plates, the vignette cannot be transferred to a different vehicle or a new registration number. In these situations, you will need to purchase a new Romanian vignette for the new vehicle or updated registration.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to postpone the start of validity after purchasing a vignette. Once the purchase is completed, the selected validity period is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, we recommend carefully selecting the desired start date during the purchase process.
The following vehicles are exempt from buying a Romanian vignette:
Emergency Vehicles: Vehicles operated by emergency services such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles are exempt from tolls.
Military Vehicles: Military vehicles operated by the Romanian Armed Forces or allied forces for official purposes do not require a vignette.
Public Service Vehicles: Vehicles used by public utility companies (e.g., electricity, gas, water services) are exempt while performing tasks related to infrastructure maintenance and repair.
Diplomatic Vehicles: Vehicles with diplomatic plates or those operated by consular services are excluded from the vignette requirement.
Agricultural and Forestry Vehicles: Tractors and machinery exclusively used for agricultural and forestry activities, provided they remain off public roads outside their work areas, are exempt.
The following neighbouring countries of Romania also have compulsory tolls to finance and maintain their motorways:
