Vignettes for driving from Netherlands to Croatia
Amsterdam–Adriatic holiday drives cross Germany (no car vignette) before the vignette belt in Austria and Slovenia. Treat Austrian and Slovenian products as mandatory for the alpine and Ljubljana approaches; Croatia’s motorway model is separate from those e-vignettes.
Route: Utrecht – Munich – Salzburg – Ljubljana – Zagreb · A8, A10, A2 · Plate format: 12-ABC-3
Driving from Netherlands to Croatia
Roughly 1300 km and about 13:00 of driving, excluding stops.
Along the way
Germany has no car vignette, so the first one you need is Austrian and it is bought hundreds of kilometres into the drive. At roughly 1 300 kilometres this is a two-day trip for most people, with Munich or Salzburg the sensible split. Dutch drivers should note that Austria requires winter tyres between 1 November and 15 April whenever the road is wintry.
What the vignettes do not cover
German motorways are free for cars, but the Austrian A10 tunnels, the Karawanken and Croatian motorways all charge on top of the vignettes.
