Highway Vignette: AK Warning About These Offers

"Do not follow sponsored Google ads or links on social media channels from unknown providers", warns the AK. One should avoid online shops from providers without an imprint and/or based abroad as well as offers for more than the official price of 103.80 Euros. Under no circumstances should one release payments in foreign currency, pass on personal information or bank details to unknown parties, and transmit identification documents (e.g. copy of driving licence).

Digital Motorway Vignette Valid Only from the 18th Day After Online Purchase

The annual vignette 2025 must be active by 1st February 2025 at the latest. Since buyers also have a 14-day right of withdrawal here, the vignette is only valid from the 18th day after the online purchase. Those who are already late can get an immediately valid Digital Vignette at a test centre of the ARBÖ or a base of the ÖAMTC as well as at other Asfinag sales outlets, informs the AK. When purchasing the Digital Vignette directly on the Asfinag website, it is important that no error creeps in when entering the license plate number, as otherwise no valid vignette can be assigned to the vehicle in the event of a check and a "replacement toll" of 120 Euros for each motorway journey is due. With the Digital Subscription, the validity of the annual vignette is automatically extended. This means that no deadlines can be missed and no errors can be made in data entry in subsequent years, according to the AK Consumer Protection.
