Toll for Trucks in Slovakia: All You Need to Know

Slovakia has an extensive road network that serves as a crucial transportation route for both domestic and international trade. To ensure the maintenance and development of its roads, the Slovakian government implemented a toll system that applies to certain vehicles. If you are planning to drive a truck through Slovakia, keep reading, as we will discuss all you need to know in this article.

Toll system in Slovakia

The toll system in Slovakia applies to all vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes. It is based on a combination of satellite-based GPS, microwave DSRC and GSM/GPRS technology, which enables accurate truck toll collection by tracking vehicles in real time. It was launched on 1 January 2010 and currently covers a large network of motorways, expressways and selected first- and second-class roads. 

Types of toll in Slovakia

  • Electronic tolls: applicable to vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. On-board units (OBUs) installed in vehicles track and charge toll fees based on distance travelled on the tolled sections of the road network. Toll rates are determined by the vehicle category, weight, number of axles, Euro emission class and, since 1 July 2025, the vehicle's CO₂ emission class, so cleaner vehicles pay less per kilometre. There are five CO₂ classes. Vehicles first registered before 1 July 2019 are placed in class 1 automatically, and battery-electric and hydrogen vehicles go into class 5, so it is worth proving a better class through emyto.sk
  • Vignette: vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes use an electronic vignette linked to the number plate, with no physical sticker. Four options are available: 1 day, 10 days, 30 days and 365 days. The one-day vignette was introduced on 1 August 2024, when the calendar-year vignette was replaced by a rolling 365-day one.

Payments for truck toll in Slovakia

Since 15 March 2024, the Slovak toll market has been open to European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) providers, so trucks over 3.5 tonnes no longer depend on a single national operator. Three EETS providers are currently authorised, including Eurowag. From 1 January 2027 the National Motorway Company (NDS) intends to run toll collection in house, after deciding not to extend its contract with SkyToll. The simplest option for international fleets is an EETS-certified on-board unit such as Eurowag's EVA OBU, which covers Slovakia together with Czechia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Poland and other countries on one contract and one invoice.

There are two payment modes:

  • Pre-pay: toll payment is made in advance. Users load funds onto the account, ensuring a sufficient balance to cover expected toll expenses.
  • Post-pay: toll charges are billed after the vehicle has travelled on the tolled roads. This is the standard mode for fleets.

Exact per-kilometre rates depend on the factors above and are updated regularly, check the current tariff table on emyto.sk  before pricing a route.

History of tolls in Slovakia

Before the electronic toll collection system, Slovakia collected tolls manually through booths on its highways. This manual system was in place until 1 January 2010, when Slovakia introduced electronic toll collection using onboard units installed in vehicles.

By 2014 the toll system covered approximately 17,770 kilometres of specified road sections, one of the most extensive electronic toll networks in the EU at the time. Class III roads were removed from the tolled network on 1 September 2020, cutting it to 8,141 kilometres, and the network stood at around 8,310 kilometres on 1 January 2026 after new D1 and R2 sections were added.
