Bulgaria

Motorway vignette price list, sticker validity, toll roads

Up to a weight of 3.5 tonnes, not only motorways and expressways, but also most lower class roads are subject to a toll. A list of the roads on which vignettes are required is available in Bulgarian on the dv.parliament.bg website. On these roads, a valid vignette is compulsory for vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tonnes and with at least four wheels. Motorcycles may be driven on Bulgarian roads without a vignette. The exemption from payment for vehicles with less than four wheels is mentioned in the information on exempted vehicles in the Frequently Asked Questions on the bgtoll.bg website.

Trailers towed by vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes are only required to have a vignette if the total weight of the combination exceeds 3.5 tonnes. If you are driving a vehicle with a trailer weighing up to 3.5 tonnes and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes, the valid marking must also be valid for the trailer. Trailer vignettes are available at the same price as the vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes.

Vignettes sold in electronic form, as e-vignettes, may have a validity period of a weekend, week, month, quarter or year. They can be purchased online via the web.bgtoll.bg website, via the Google Play or App Store mobile app, as well as at regular points of sale, self-service terminals, BG Toll branches and authorised dealers. The list of points of sale can be found on the Registers page of the bgtoll.bg website.

The validity of the e-vignette can be checked by entering the vehicle registration number on the web.bgtoll.bg website.

For vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of more than 3.5 tonnes, the BG Toll system has been set up. For drivers using the Bulgarian road network for short periods only, a pre-paid Road Toll is available. The Route Pass (web.bgtoll.bg) can be purchased online, as can the e-ticket for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, and to purchase toll units you will need to visit a point of sale (www.bgtoll.bg).

In the northern part of the country, on the border with Bulgaria and Romania, there are toll bridges and toll ferries on the Danube in several places. The bridges and indicative toll rates are shown in the table and on the map at the bottom of the page.
