What is the truck toll in Slovakia?
The Slovakia truck toll applies to all vehicles with a gross weight over 3.5 tons. Unlike the Slovakia vignette (for cars and vans), the truck toll is distance-based and varies by vehicle category and, from July 2025, by CO₂ class.
Toll calculation and payment are managed electronically—using an On-Board Unit (OBU), at official sales points or gas stations, or via the official online registration portal. To estimate your toll in advance, use IMPARGO’s truck toll calculator.
Comparison: Slovakia Truck Toll & Vignette
Many users search for “Slovakia truck vignette”—but actually, trucks pay a distance-based toll, while only vehicles up to 3.5 tons need a vignette. Here are the key differences:
Feature | Slovakia Truck Toll | Slovakia Vignette |
---|---|---|
Which vehicles? | Trucks & buses > 3.5 t | Cars, vans, motorhomes ≤ 3.5 t |
How is it charged? | Distance-based (per km) | Time-based (10 days, 1 month, 1 year) |
How to pay? | Official OBU, online at emyto.sk, or at authorized gas stations | Online (e-vignette) at eznamka.sk, gas station, or app |
Required on motorways? | Yes | Yes |
Required on expressways? | Yes | Yes |
Control | Electronic via OBU & roadside checks | Electronic via license plate scan |
Special from 2025 | CO₂ class affects toll rate | No changes |
New CO₂ classes for trucks from 2025
Starting July 1, 2025, Slovakia will introduce new CO₂ classes for the truck toll. Each truck is automatically assigned a class from CO2 1 (highest rate) to CO2 5 (lowest, only for zero-emission vehicles).
- CO2 1: Standard, highest toll (over 90% of trucks)
- CO2 5: Lowest toll, only for electric and hydrogen trucks
Most vehicles will be assigned to CO2 1 by default. Owners of newer or cleaner trucks (registered after July 1, 2019) can check and upgrade their class at emyto.sk/CO2 by submitting required documents.
There is no penalty for not applying—trucks simply stay in class 1 until you upgrade.
How to pay the Slovakia truck toll: Step-by-step
- Register your company and vehicle on emyto.sk.
- Order and install your OBU (On-Board Unit), following the instructions provided.
- Plan your route and estimate your toll using the IMPARGO truck toll calculator (optional, but saves time and avoids errors).
- Ensure your OBU is active and loaded with credit, or set up an account for postpaid settlement.
- Drive your route; toll charges are calculated and collected automatically via your OBU as you travel.
- Keep all documentation and receipts in your vehicle for roadside checks.
Note: Only the official Slovakia toll system (emyto.sk, OBU, or authorized sales points) can accept payment.
Where to pay Slovakia truck toll?
Truck toll payment must be made through the official system: register at emyto.sk, use an OBU, or pay at authorized gas stations and official sales points.
