Registration is required even if the vehicle is used for private travel or leisure purposes.
Motorhomes / Vans
This category applies to medium-sized goods vehicles used for commercial or transport purposes with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) between 3,500 and 7,500 kg. These vehicles are required to hold a valid Romania vignette (rovinieta) before using any toll roads or national highways. The vignette fee for this class is higher due to the increased vehicle weight and road impact.
Motorhomes / Vans
This category covers heavy commercial vehicles used for freight and goods transport with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) between 7,501 and 12,000 kg. All vehicles in this class must register a valid Romania vignette (rovinieta) before travelling on toll roads or national highways. The vignette obligation applies regardless of whether the vehicle is used for domestic or cross-border transport.
Trucks
This category applies to heavy-duty trucks and lorries with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) exceeding 12,000 kg and equipped with a maximum of three axles. All vehicles in this class are subject to the Romania vignette (rovinieta) requirement when using toll roads or national highways. Proper registration ensures compliance with national toll regulations and prevents fines for non-payment.

A valid Romania vignette (rovinieta) is mandatory when driving on national or motorway roads.
Buses
This category applies to large passenger coaches and intercity buses with 24 or more seats, including the driver. These vehicles are primarily used for long-distance or international travel, and must hold a valid Romania vignette (rovinieta) before entering any toll road or national highway.
Passenger cars
This category applies to private passenger cars with a maximum permissible mass (GVW) of 3,500 kg or less. The vignette obligation also extends to any trailer or caravan towed by these vehicles, so a separate vignette for the trailer is not required.

Toll regulations for lorries
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.
Avoid fines: secure your e-vignette before you travel
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.
