Bulgaria vignette fine
Last checked: 4 November 2026
The e-vignette is checked automatically: fixed camera gates on the toll road network and mobile control vehicles compare the plates with the vignette register around the clock.
The compensation fee
If a vehicle is recorded without a valid vignette, an electronic ticket is issued. The compensation fee is €46.50 since 1 August 2026 and must be paid within 14 days of the ticket being delivered. If it is not paid, a fine is imposed.
The compensation fee only settles that one offence – it does not replace the vignette. For further journeys you need a valid vignette.
How to avoid it
- Buy the vignette before you drive onto a road that requires it.
- Check the plate and the country of registration: a vignette bought for a wrong plate is not corrected.
- Mind the validity: the 1-day vignette lasts 24 hours from activation, the weekend vignette ends on Sunday at 23:59 (details).
