Sales points for vignette Slovenia
As of February 2023, it is no longer possible to purchase a Slovenia vignette in the form of a windshield sticker for vehicles with a maximum weight of up to 3.5 tonnes from brick-and-mortar locations. Instead, you can opt for an e-vignette Slovenien.
To get your e-vignette Slovenien, you have two convenient options. You can go to a gas station near the border or a Dars service station, where you can buy and activate the e-vignette Slovenien for your vehicle.
This change benefits users because it is no longer necessary to stick a sticker on the car’s windshield in a visible place, but everything has been transformed into a digital format, which is easier to manage and use.
