I know you can do Hungary online. But you can also just pay at the booths inside the border. The reason I didn’t pay, and got fined, was not all traffic has to go through the booths, you just pull over voluntarily and I didn’t know what they were – it’s all in Hungarian. The next day I bought one at a petrol station, but too late, their cameras had already picked me up and issued the fine. Sorry, I don’t know any more really. Czech Republic there were booths, likewise Slovakia, Slovenia. Romania you can get them at fuel stations, not sure if there are booths at the border, you will need all your car documents, including insurance. It’s not all roads though, small roads you often don’t need them. Western Europe it tends to be toll roads more. Austria – no idea, we drove through no problem.

Thanks for getting back to me, I see you can purchase vignettes online now days, how do they work, do you still have any kind of physical sticker at all or is your car just recorded on a computer and police and people know you’ve paid it? We’ve got the drive coming up soon so want to make sure I’m really prepared. Are there many tolls across this northern route also?

Kind regards

Hungary! Also we got stopped once in Slovakia but they let us off. You can use toll – free roads if you use an app to find them. Otherwise there weren’t many. I think you’re supposed to to go accross that corner of Austraia, but I didn’t first time and never went that way again because the traffic was terrible. But right accross Germany I think we were OK. Can’t really remember sorry Matt.

Hi, we’re driving to Romania from the UK in August and don’t want to get caught out with anything, If we’re going to take the quickest route you mentioned what road tolls & vignettes would we need to pay for/buy?

Love the blog
