Vignettes for driving from Germany to Romania
Munich–Bucharest via Vienna and Budapest stacks Austrian, Hungarian, and Romanian e-vignette rules. Plan three separate purchases with matching plates and start times—there is no single multi-country vignette for this corridor.
Route: Munich – Vienna – Budapest – Arad – Bucharest · A1, M1/M5, A1 · Plate format: M-AB 1234
Driving from Germany to Romania
Roughly 1570 km and about 16:00 of driving, excluding stops.
Along the way
Three vignettes in a row — Austrian, Hungarian, Romanian — and each is bought differently, so it is worth having all three before the first border. Arad is the first Romanian city of any size and a common refuelling stop. Romanian motorway coverage thins east of Sibiu, where the road drops to a single carriageway through the Carpathian foothills.
What the vignettes do not cover
The Hungarian M1/M5 and the Romanian rovinieta are vignette-based, but bridges over the Danube are charged separately.

FAQ
Which vignettes do I need from Germany to Romania?
