Serbia

Pay per distance

Serbia runs a closed ticket system on its motorways: take a card at entry and hand it back at the exit, where the fee is set by distance.

Overview

Serbia runs a closed ticket system on its motorways: take a card at entry and hand it back at the exit, where the fee is set by distance. Cash in dinars or euros and major cards are accepted. Serbia is outside the EU and prices are in dinar (RSD), though euro cash is fine at the booths.

About €0.05 per km on toll motorways.Estimate

Ticket in, pay at exit; about 0.05 euro per km for a car. Belgrade to the North Macedonia border is around 18 euro. An estimate.

How to buy

Where to get it

  • Toll booths: cash (dinar or euro) or card at the exit
  • An ETC tag for the electronic lane
  • Card terminals can be slow, so keep some cash

Step by step

  1. Take the card from the machine or attendant at entry.
  2. Keep it safe; do not leave it on the dashboard in the sun.
  3. At your exit, hand the card back or insert it.
  4. Pay in dinars or euros, or by card.
  5. Pay in euro and the change comes back in dinars.

The traps to avoid

  • Lose the entry card and you pay the longest section plus a penalty.
  • Card readers can be offline, so carry some dinar or euro cash.
  • Euro change is not given; you get dinars back whatever you pay with.

Local tips

  • Euro cash is accepted at the booths for foreign cars, so you need not buy dinars just for tolls.
  • The Belgrade to Presevo corridor (toward North Macedonia) is the main transit toll route.
  • Budget about 18 euro for the full Belgrade to Presevo run.
  • Keep a little dinar cash for fuel stops that may not take euros.
