The Romania-Serbia border is approximately 476 kilometers long. It runs in the western part of Romania and the eastern part of Serbia. It also follows rivers, such as the well-known Danube.

Romania

The following section gives you an overview of whether you need a vignette and if there are specific toll sections.

Romania: Vignette Requirement (or not?)

In Romania, there is an electronic vignette called "Rovinieta," which you need for the Romanian national road network. It is important to know that trailers (caravans) do not need their own vignette, and motorhomes, regardless of their weight, must have a passenger car vignette. The electronic vignette typically records the vehicle data and the vignette's validity period in a database, so the consumer only receives a receipt for the amount paid, which should be kept. Depending on the vehicle class, you must choose a different vignette, and the prices vary. For more information on the digital vignette, you can visit here. Order your digital vignette easily and conveniently from home with us.

Route-Specific Tolls

In Romania, there is no route-specific toll, but you need a digital vignette and should take into account additional fees for crossing the Danube.

Danube Crossing: Bridge Toll

Note that additional fees apply for crossing the Danube. It flows within Romania and separates the two countries (Romania and Bulgaria). If you wish to use one of the many bridges or the ferry for crossing, additional charges apply.

Serbia

The following section gives you an overview of whether you need a vignette and if there are specific toll sections.

Vignette Requirement (or not?)

In Serbia, there is no vignette requirement, but there is a route-specific toll.

Route-Specific Tolls

The route-specific toll is based on the distance traveled, which can be paid at toll stations or via electronic systems. Therefore, the highways and expressways are toll roads for all vehicles, and the fee is based on the vehicle type:

• Passenger cars: Based on the height of the front axle (up to/from 1.3 m) or total height (up to/from 1.9 m)
• Trailers: Based on the height of the front axle (up to/from 1.3 m) or total height (up to/from 1.9 m), as well as the number of axles
• Motorhomes: Based on the height of the front axle (up to/from 1.3 m), total height (up to/from 1.9 m), total weight (up to/from 3.5 t Gross Vehicle Weight), and number of axles

Payment can be made at the toll stations by taking a ticket when leaving the highway. Depending on the route and vehicle or vehicle class, the toll amount may vary. You can pay with cash, credit card, or debit card at the toll stations. Additionally, you can pay the route-specific toll in euros, but you should note that you will receive the change in Serbian dinars.
