The border between Romania and Ukraine is over 600 kilometers long and stretches across the northwest of Romania and the southeast of Ukraine. The Romanian-Ukrainian border mainly follows rivers (such as the Prut and Dniester) and passes through mountainous regions.
At the border crossings between Romania and Ukraine, there are (especially due to the war situation) intensified border controls. Therefore, travelers intending to cross from Ukraine into Romania should expect strict security and control measures.
Below, we would like to present the most important border crossings between Romania and Ukraine.
Note that all of these border crossings are only open at certain times. Furthermore, due to the current war situation in Ukraine, it is not guaranteed that these border crossings are passable and, above all, safe. However, these border crossings remain important for road and freight traffic as well as trade between the two countries.
The following section provides an overview of whether you need a vignette and if there are specific toll sections.
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 require 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 need to choose a different vignette, and the prices vary. For more information about the digital vignette, you can find it here. Order your digital vignette easily and conveniently from home with us.
In Romania, there is no route-specific toll, but you will need a digital vignette and should consider additional fees when crossing the Danube.
Due to the current tense situation in Ukraine, it is difficult to define exact regulations regarding vignette requirements and toll obligations in Ukraine.
In conclusion, it is advisable to check the current situation before your trip and take into account the intensified situation at the border crossings.
