The Austrian motorway vignette is a mandatory time-based toll permit for all motor vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes using Austrian motorways and expressways. For Czech drivers, Austria is a neighbouring country accessible via the A6 motorway from Brno or via Salzburg from Bavaria. The digital vignette, available at asfinag.at, is the most convenient option for Czech drivers.
