Our Mission
VignetteGuide Austria was established in 2019 with a single clear purpose: to provide accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand information about the Austrian motorway vignette system. We noticed that many drivers — both Austrian residents and international visitors — were confused by the transition from physical sticker vignettes to the digital system introduced in 2023.
Our team of transport information specialists monitors official ASFINAG announcements, Austrian federal legislation, and regulatory updates to ensure our content is always current. We are completely independent — we have no commercial relationship with ASFINAG, vignette vendors, or any road toll operator.
We believe that access to clear, accurate road toll information should be free and straightforward. Our service is funded through this principle of public information service, not through advertising or paid placements.
