This is available at petrol stations in Austria, but also at petrol stations in neighboring countries and in motorist clubs. It is important to attach the vignette correctly to the car window, otherwise a replacement toll of € 120 will have to be paid.

Attach the Austrian vignette correctly

In principle, the vignette should be affixed to the inside of the windshield so that it is clearly visible. Either on the left edge or behind the rearview mirror. Under no circumstances should it be placed behind a tint strip, as it must be controllable from the outside.

  • Before sticking on, make sure that the relevant area is clean, dry and, above all, free of grease. This is the only way to ensure optimal adhesion to the pane. The temperature of the pane should not fall below 5 ° C when sticking, otherwise the adhesive will not adhere.
  • If your windshield is too cold, you can put the sticker in the garage or use the windshield blower to warm the windshield.
  • Motorcyclists should only apply the vignette to parts that are not easily exchangeable. However, this should be clearly visible.
  • Furthermore, the old vignette for Austria should always be replaced. Under no circumstances may more than two Austrian vignettes be affixed to the windshield at the same time. However, other foreign vignettes are exempt from this rule.

  • If you have accidentally affixed the vignette at an angle, do not remove it again under any circumstances. Removing it would damage security features, which would invalidate the vignette. So it is better to accept a vignette stuck on at an angle.
  • It is important to note that special foils, adhesive tapes or suction cups that prevent the vignette from coming into direct contact with the windshield are prohibited.
