La República Checa subió el precio de las viñetas en 2026
La República Checa ha aumentado los precios de las viñetas para autopistas en 2026, con incrementos de hasta el 9,5 %. Tras recorrer recientemente esta ruta personalmente, comprobé que, aunque la subida de precios es notable, el mayor desafío suele ser comprar la viñeta sin contratiempos.
A continuación, encontrará los precios actualizados, los canales oficiales de venta, información práctica obtenida durante mi viaje de prueba de enero de 2026 y datos importantes para los conductores de vehículos eléctricos e híbridos.
New 2026 Vignette Prices in the Czech Republic
Las autopistas y vías rápidas de la República Checa son carreteras de peaje para vehículos de hasta 3,5 toneladas (las motocicletas están excluidas). Es necesaria una viñeta digital.
Los precios se actualizaron a principios de 2026:
| Tipo de viñeta | Desde enero de 2026 | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 día | 230 CZK (~9,45 €) | 210 CZK (~ 8,40 €) | 200 CZK (~ 8 €) |
| 10 días | 300 CZK (~12.30 €) | 290 CZK (~ 11.60 €) | 270 CZK (~ 10.80 €) |
| 30 días | 480 CZK (~ 19.70 €) | 460 CZK (~ 18.40 €) | 430 CZK (~ 17.20 €) |
| 1 año | 2,570 CZK (~ 105.50 €) | 2,440 CZK (~ 97.50 €) | 2,300 CZK (~ 92 €) |
Todos los importes están en coronas checas (CZK). Los equivalentes en euros son aproximados y se basan en el tipo de cambio vigente en el momento de redactar este contenido. Tenga en cuenta que cobramos una tarifa de gestión por encargarnos del registro.
Dónde comprar: canales de venta online y presenciales
Desde 2021, la viñeta checa es completamente digital. La tradicional pegatina para el parabrisas ya no existe y ha sido sustituida por un proceso totalmente digital.
Hay cinco formas de comprar su viñeta:
- ✔ Online en Czechvignette.cz
- ✔ Online a través de la tienda oficial de la autoridad de autopistas checa (edalnice.cz)
- ✔ Máquinas de autoservicio en los pasos fronterizos
- ✔ Estaciones de servicio Euro Oil dentro de la República Checa
- ✔ Oficinas de correos checas

En enero y febrero de 2026, conduje desde Praga hasta la frontera con Alemania específicamente para probar el proceso de compra de la viñeta.
Mi recomendación clara es comprar su viñeta online antes de salir.
Después de cruzar la frontera, me detuve en varias estaciones de servicio Euro Oil para comprar una viñeta en persona. En varios casos, el personal no sabía que debía vender viñetas o no había recibido formación sobre el proceso de venta. En una estación, el empleado afirmó que «nunca había oído hablar de ello». En otra, un cajero señaló un folleto informativo, pero no pudo completar la transacción en el sistema.
Esto no parece ser un problema aislado, ya que se han informado experiencias similares en foros de viajeros.
Consejo práctico desde la carretera
Don’t rely on purchasing a vignette at a petrol station after crossing the border. Based on our January 2026 experience, staff at several Euro Oil locations were unfamiliar with the process.
Purchasing online before departure is the most reliable option. The vignette can become valid immediately after payment.
Self-service machines at border crossings were operational, but queues may occur during peak travel times, and card payment is required.
By contrast, the online portal worked without issue. I was able to register my licence plate number, pay by credit card, and receive confirmation within minutes. According to the Czech motorway operator SFDI, the vignette becomes valid immediately upon purchase because it is legally classified as a toll fee rather than a physical product.
One important detail to note: When purchasing through us, you can pay in your own currency, and we handle the conversion. This reduces the risk of incorrect payment amounts that could otherwise result in a reversal or an invalid vignette.
How the Digital Vignette System Works
When you purchase a vignette, your vehicle’s registration number is recorded in a central database. Cameras installed on motorway gantries automatically scan number plates and verify them against this database.
Police patrol vehicles are also equipped with scanning systems and may check plates, including at petrol stations.
Penalties for driving without a valid vignette are significant:
- ✔ On-the-spot fines of up to 5,000 CZK (approximately €205)
- ✔ Up to 20,000 CZK (approximately €821) in formal administrative proceedings
Fines issued to foreign drivers can also be enforced in other EU countries, including the Netherlands and Germany, so ignoring a penalty is not an option.
Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Discounts and Exemptions
Fully electric vehicles (BEVs) are exempt from the Czech motorway toll. However, the vehicle must be registered with the Czech authorities before the journey.
Plug-in hybrids with combined CO₂ emissions below 50 g/km pay 25% of the standard vignette price:
| Vignette type | Plug-in hybrid price (2026) |
|---|---|
| 1 day | 50 CZK (~€2 |
| 10 days | 70 CZK (~€2.90) |
| 30 days | 120 CZK (~€4.90) |
| 1 year | 640 CZK (~€26.20) |
Vehicles powered by CNG or biomethane qualify for approximately half the standard price.
Important for vehicles registered outside the Czech Republic
Simply presenting your vehicle registration document at a checkpoint is not sufficient. You must complete a dedicated form and submit it to the Czech authorities before your journey begins. Full instructions are available on the motorway operator’s website. Failing to pre-register means you will be treated as a standard vehicle and potentially fined.
Don’t want to deal with the paperwork yourself? We can take care of the full registration process for your electric vehicle with the Czech authorities for a small charge of €9.95. Simply provide your vehicle registration details before your trip, and we’ll handle the form submission so your vehicle is recognised as exempt upon entry. Contact us for more information.
Annual Vignette: No Longer Tied to the Calendar Year
Unlike the previous sticker system, the electronic annual vignette is no longer tied to the calendar year. You choose your own 365-day validity window when you purchase it, which makes it far better value for anyone whose travel does not align neatly with January to December.
The Bottom Line
The 2026 price increases are moderate, amounting to only a few euros depending on the vignette type. The bigger issue, as I found out first-hand, is ensuring you actually have a valid vignette before you hit the motorway. Buy it online, double-check your number plate entry, and keep your confirmation email handy. If you drive an electric vehicle, take the time to pre-register with the Czech authorities and enjoy a toll-free trip.
