To use Moldovan highways, the purchase of an electronic e-vignette is required, even before entering any toll sections.
Travel on highways and expressways is subject to payment, while secondary and main roads can be used free of charge.
The toll payment obligation applies to vehicles with a total weight under 3.5 tons.
* If you are driving a vehicle over 3.5 tons (such as a truck, bus, or heavy vehicle), please visit the MAIB system for the necessary payment.
The e-vignette is available for four different time periods:
* If a vehicle under 3.5 tons tows a trailer, a separate payment is required for the trailer.
The toll fee calculation will be shown by the system after entering the vehicle and travel details.
The toll payment for road usage is made online. Vehicle registration takes only a few minutes. The required data are as follows:
When ordering (registering the vehicle), you must provide the vehicle's license plate number and the country where the vehicle is registered. Next, select the start date and validity period of the e-vignette.
The system requires an email address and mobile phone number for contact. Providing your mobile phone number is necessary because the confirmation link is also sent via SMS, ensuring that you receive proof of payment even if email delivery fails for any reason.
After successful payment, a receipt and a QR™ SMS code will be sent by the system, containing the vehicle’s identification data and the validity period of the purchased e-vignette.
Certain websites offer toll payments by collecting bank card data but do not provide a valid e-vignette, and the card data may end up in the hands of unauthorized persons.
Unsuspecting travelers may face serious disadvantages: firstly, they do not have a valid e-vignette—which may result in fines—and secondly, their card data might be misused.
It is recommended to avoid websites with incorrect or suspicious wording.
⛔ Fines
The law (Zákon č. 488/2013 Z. z.) specifies in detail the potential fines for driving on a toll highway or expressway without a valid payment:
On this customer portal, you can obtain the necessary proof of toll payment online within a few minutes, which will be registered at the Ministerul Infrastructurii și Dezvoltării Regionale center.
Components of the registration service
With us, the e-vignette is available together with the Comfortia and Auxil services; their fee is part of the registration fee.
Under Comfortia, if you mistyped the details during the order, we will change the registration number, country code, vehicle category, destination country or start date of validity free of charge, once; the system checks obvious typing errors automatically and, if necessary, manually. At least 24 hours before the start of validity the order can be cancelled and the full amount refunded, except for the annual vignette.
Under Auxil, if you receive a fine for a reason related to the order, we provide legal assistance within 180 days of the order: we act as your authorised representative before the competent authority, submit an appeal, and request a payment extension or a reduction on equitable grounds. In justified cases we may also reimburse the fine, up to a maximum of EUR 300.
Further details are available in sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the Terms and Conditions.
