Vehicles under 12 T

This lack of road taxes in Luxembourg is considered a significant benefit for travelers as it eliminates the additional costs and hassles of purchasing vignettes online or in person. Thus, you can explore Luxembourg at will, without worrying about paying for traffic on the country’s roads.
Vignette Luxembourg for vehicles over 12 T
