We name every scheme on the way. Add a departure time and we also say whether each one is running when you get there.
Where are you driving?
44 countries, 207 cities. The number beside each
country is how many schemes we have verified there.
We have checked 67 countries against their own official
sources. 44 have a low emission zone, ZTL or city charge we can
answer for. 19 have none at
all, and 4 have one we
cannot state yet. No scheme is an answer too —
see what each country turned out to have.

These 7 countries ask something of every driver on their roads, wherever you are going.
Austria — Vignette für Kraftfahrzeuge bis 3,5 tMulti-track motor vehicles up to 3.5 t technically permissible maximum laden mass — cars, light motorhomes and small vans. Single-track vehicles (motorcycles, three-wheelers and motorcycles with sidecars) pay a separate, lower rate: annual EUR 42.70, 2-month EUR 12.80, 10-day EUR 5.10, 1-day EUR 3.80.
Switzerland — Motorway charge (vignette)Motor vehicles and trailers not subject to the heavy vehicle charge. The FOCBS states the obligation generally applies to motor vehicles and trailers weighing up to 3.5 tonnes; above that the lump-sum heavy vehicle charge applies instead.
Germany — Plakette nach der 35. BImSchV (Umweltplakette)Motor vehicles of categories M and N as defined in Annex II A of Directive 70/156/EEC — that is, passenger vehicles and goods vehicles. Stickers exist for pollutant groups 2, 3 and 4; group 1, the most polluting, gets no sticker.
France — Certificat qualité de l'air (vignette Crit'Air)Every vehicle class the nomenclature covers — cars, two-wheelers, tricycles and quadricycles, light commercial vehicles and heavy vehicles including buses and coaches. The class depends on the vehicle type, its engine and its Euro emission standard, and once assigned it is valid for the whole life of the vehicle.
Romania — Rovinietă (tarif de utilizare a rețelei de drumuri naționale)The law fixes the tariff per vehicle and leaves the vehicle classes and the amounts to its annex, which this portal does not serve as text. This record therefore does not say which class a car falls into — only that a vehicle using the network owes the tariff.
Slovenia — E-vinjeta (e-vignette)Toll class 2A: vehicles up to 3500 kg with a height above the front axle of up to 1.3 metres — most passenger cars, minivans, terrain vehicles, SUVs and pick-ups. The other classes pay differently: class 1, single-track vehicles with a track up to 50 cm, pays EUR 58.70 a year; class 2B, up to 3500 kg but over 1.3 m above the front axle, pays EUR 235.00. Height, not weight, separates 2A from 2B.
Slovakia — Elektronická známka (electronic vignette)A two-track motor vehicle or vehicle combination up to 3.5 tonnes, and any two-track vehicle of category M1 whatever its permissible weight. A trailer of category O1 or O2 needs a SECOND vignette of its own, at the same price, when the combined permissible weight of car and trailer exceeds 3.5 tonnes — so a car towing a caravan can owe two.
