5. Electronic Vignette Tariffs (E-vignette) in Lithuania 2024

Purchasing an electronic vignette is now contingent on factors such as motor vehicle category, number of axles, and EURO class emission levels. In instances where the vehicle registration certificate lacks category details, selection is based on the maximum permissible mass and/or seating capacity. If EURO class information is absent, opting for "Not specified" (or EURO0) is necessary. Solely the axles of the motor vehicle (excluding the trailer) are considered in determining the road user tax rate.

For more information and to obtain electronic vignettes, road users can visit the road user charge distribution website: www.keliumokestis.lt 

6. Information for Vehicle Registration Certificates

Understanding your vehicle's category and EURO class is pivotal. If your registration certificate is silent on these details, a comprehensive guide on checking and rectifying information can be found here. 

7. Selecting EURO Class when Purchasing E-Vignettes

When EURO class information is absent from the registration certificate, opting for "Not specified" (or EURO0) is mandatory during the e-vignette purchase. Ensure accurate axel count, excluding the trailer, for precise calculation of the e-vignette rate.

8. What is the HGV road user charge in Lithuania?

The road user charge is a fee that drivers of motor vehicles or their combinations must pay to the vehicle keeper for using tolled sections of highways A1-A18, A20 in Lithuania. Before entering these tolled road sections, road users are required to have a valid electronic vignette, which is an electronic entry in the National Traffic Information System (EIS). The electronic vignette confirms the payment of the road user charge and grants the right to drive on the tolled road sections for a specified period.

Here are the original links to the legal acts (Note: The links might be subject to change):

- Law on Financing the Road Maintenance and Development Programme of the Republic of Lithuania 

- Resolution No 447 of the Government of Lithuania of 21 April 2005 On the Implementation of the Law on the Financing of the Road Maintenance and Development Programme of the Republic of Lithuania

- Order No. 3-97 of the Minister of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Lithuania of 23 March 2007 “Regarding the approval of the procedure description of requirements, use, revision and transfer of electronic vignettes to another vehicle”
