Beginning in January 2025, the cost of the annual Czech motorway vignette will rise by CZK 140, bringing the total to CZK 2,440. Prices for short-term vignettes, including the monthly and ten-day options, will also increase. These adjustments, mandated by law, are attributed to rising consumer prices and the expansion of the motorway network, according to the Ministry of Transport.
Gas-powered and hybrid vehicles (combining electric and combustion engines) will continue to benefit from reduced toll rates. Meanwhile, pure electric cars and hydrogen vehicles will remain exempt. Notably, the price of the annual vignette was already increased from CZK 1,500 to CZK 2,300 in March 2024, marking the first change in 12 years.
The new prices for short-term vignettes in 2025 are as follows:
The monthly vignette will cost CZK 460 (up by CZK 30),
The ten-day vignette will be CZK 290 (up by CZK 20),
The daily vignette will be CZK 210 (up by CZK 10).
Vehicles powered by compressed or liquefied natural gas and biomethane will continue to pay only half the standard rates, while owners of plug-in hybrids will pay just a quarter of the normal price.
These price adjustments align with the European Eurovignette Directive, which was implemented in the Czech Republic in March 2024. At that time, a daily vignette priced at CZK 200 was introduced. Annual revenue from vignette sales is projected to rise by an estimated CZK 1.3 billion this year.
The Czech motorway toll system was first introduced in 1995. Since 2021, the traditional vignette has been replaced by an electronic version. Vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes continue to pay a distance-based toll on motorways and selected roads.
