Have you already purchased the digital vignette for 2025? If not, it’s about time; After all, it is only valid on the 18th day after purchase.
The digital vignette for 2025 has been valid since December. If you don’t have one yet, you need to be quick so you can use it from February 1st. The scheme has consequences for the annual vignette and the 2-month vignette.
Therefore, 18 days must pass before it becomes valid
There is an important reason for this annoying requirement. According to the European Consumer Protection Directive, customers can withdraw from purchasing a product or service online. This does not apply to one-day and ten-day vignettes.
What should I do if I missed the deadline?
In this case there is a solution, albeit a more complicated one. The digital vignette can also be purchased directly from the ÖAMTC, ARBÖ and ADAC, in various petrol stations and tobacconists and at the ASFINAG toll booths. It then applies from the moment of purchase.
What are the advantages of a digital vignette?
The digital vignette is linked to the license plate. This will save you the hassle of sticking and scraping the windshield. This is also practical in case of a broken window. You do not have to worry about a replacement vignette or reimbursement of costs. Owners of interchangeable license plates have the advantage that they no longer have to purchase a separate vignette for each car. One digital vignette can be used for up to three vehicles.
First vignette above 100 euros
For the first time, a three-digit euro amount must be paid for the annual car vignette: it costs 103.80 euros. For motorcycles you have to pay 41.50 euros. The one-day vignette for cars is available for 9.30 euros or for motorcycles for 3.70 euros.
How can I check the validity?
You can easily check here whether the digital vignette has been activated. To do this, simply enter the license plate number and the country of registration.
Another tip:
It is really proactive to activate the subscription service when purchasing the new digital vignette. The validity of an annual vignette will then be automatically extended and you cannot forget to purchase the vignette. This also works if you switch to a new car, as long as you continue to use your license plate – the vignette is attached to it.
