A Eurovignette is a digital road-user charge or toll system required for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) with a gross vehicle weight of 12 tonnes or more to use motorways and specific highways in certain European countries. As of 2026, the Eurovignette is used primarily in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden, as Denmark officially exited the common system in 2025 to implement its own distance-based tolling. Unlike traditional tolls where you pay per kilometer, the Eurovignette is time-based, meaning you purchase validity for a specific period—ranging from one day to a full year. The system is entirely electronic, linked to the vehicle's license plate in a central database, so there is no need for a physical sticker on the windshield. The cost of a Eurovignette varies based on the vehicle’s emission class (Euro category) and the number of axles, reflecting a move toward more eco-friendly transportation policies. Logistics companies and independent truckers usually book these online via the official portal to ensure compliance and avoid heavy fines, which can reach up to €2,000 in some jurisdictions.
