A vignette represents a form of road pricing imposed on vehicles and indicates that road tax has been paid. Since December 2017, it has become possible to purchase a digital vignette for Austria. This means that it is no longer necessary to affix a toll sticker to your windscreen. A digital vignette is linked to your number plate which indicates that your number plate has been registered by the Austrian authorities. This is an advantage as you don't need to buy a vignette at one of the toll lanes in Austria and during inspections it can be quickly assessed whether you have purchased a digital vignette.
