Vignettes for driving from Austria to Croatia
Vienna–Zagreb is a short hop once you clear Austria, but Slovenia’s motorways sit between the two. Keep your Austrian vignette valid for the start, then add a Slovenian product for the transit—even if Croatia is the only overnight stop.
Route: Vienna – Graz – Maribor – Zagreb · A2, A9, A1 · Plate format: W-12345A
Driving from Austria to Croatia
Roughly 370 km and about 4:00 of driving, excluding stops.
Along the way
After the Karawanken tunnel the Slovenian A2 runs down to the border at Obrežje, where the queue on summer Saturdays is worth timing around. Croatia has used the euro since 2023, so there is no currency stop any more, but its motorways are barrier tolls rather than a vignette and the booths take cards. Zagreb's old town is an hour past the border if you want to break the drive before the coast.
What the vignettes do not cover
The Karawanken tunnel and the Croatian motorway network are both charged separately from the vignettes.
