Germany — do you need a vignette?
No, there is no vignette in this country.
Motorways are free for cars. The lorry toll does not apply to light vehicles.
Germany sells no motorway vignette and its motorways are free for cars. The planned car toll was abandoned after the Court of Justice of the European Union struck it down; only the lorry toll remains. The real obligation lies elsewhere: the Umweltplakette for low-emission zones.
