Vignettes for driving from Romania to Germany
The return leg from Bucharest to Germany needs the same three vignettes as the way out: a Romanian rovinieta to the Hungarian border, Hungarian coverage across the M5/M1, and an Austrian vignette from Nickelsdorf. Buy them for the travel days, not the whole stay.

FAQ
Which vignettes do I need from Romania to Germany?
On the main motorway corridor, plan for: Romania, Hungary, Austria. Origin/destination countries without a car vignette still appear in the route—only the listed vignette markets typically need a purchase.
Is the combined price the final checkout total?
No—it is a short-trip estimate using common validity lengths per country plus the service fee. Your dates, vehicle class, and exact path can change the products and total.
Do Germany, Poland, Italy, or Croatia sell a national car vignette?
Those markets generally use other toll models (or none for cars on many roads). This corridor page focuses on vignette countries you cross between them.
