Overview

Bulgaria uses a fully electronic, plate-linked e-vignette with no sticker. Cameras across the network check plates, and it is needed on national roads too, not just motorways, so you want one almost as soon as you cross in. Bulgaria joined the euro in January 2026, so prices now show in both lev and euro.

Local tips

The weekend vignette is the cheapest option and covers Friday noon to Sunday midnight, handy for a short transit.
Buy before you cross; cameras start checking the moment you join the network, with no grace period.
Fuel is among the cheapest in the EU here, so fill up before heading somewhere pricier.
Since January 2026 prices show in euro as well as lev, at the fixed rate, so there is no conversion guesswork.
