Driving a motorhome in Bulgaria

Motorways, tolls and vignettes

A motorway vignette is a permit, now often digital and linked to the number plate, that you buy before using the motorways: it is valid for a set period and there are no toll booths.

Up to 3.5 t you need the electronic vignette, linked to the number plate, on motorways and national roads: buy it online or at a sales point before you leave.

Over 3.5 t you pay a distance-based toll on toll roads, with an on-board unit or a route pass.

The Danube bridges to Romania (Ruse–Giurgiu and Vidin–Calafat) are paid separately.
