Traveling in Romania 2026: Complete Guide to Vignettes and Tolls
Planning a journey through our northern neighbor? All vehicles using Romania’s national road network (not just motorways) are required to have a valid electronic vignette, known as the **Rovinieta**. As of late 2025 and into 2026, prices have been updated and enforcement has become significantly stricter.
1. Electronic Vignettes for Passenger Cars (Category A)
Romania offers several validity periods, including a convenient one-day vignette ideal for transit travelers.

Missing Vignette Fine: Between 500 and 1,000 RON for passenger cars.
Unpaid Fetesti Bridge Fine: Between 190 and 380 RON.
4. Where to Buy Your Rovinieta
Official Online Portal: The most reliable method is through [roviniete.ro](https://www.roviniete.ro/en) or the CNAIR mobile app.
In-Person: Available at all border checkpoints (immediately after crossing) and at major petrol stations like Petrom, OMV, Rompetrol, and MOL.
Pro Tip for Drivers: When purchasing a vignette at a gas station, always double-check your license plate number on the receipt before signing it. Even a single incorrect character makes the vignette invalid, and you will be fined!
