The price of the Austrian road vignette increases by 2.6% this year. This takes the price of the shortest 10-day sticker to €8.50 for vehicles below 3.5t (€4.90 for motorbikes). Two months will cost €24.80, twelve months €82.70. The new vignette – lime coloured for 2014 – goes on sale at the end of November, valid from 1 December. The annual sticker lasts until 31 January 2015. ASFINAG, the state roads company, sold nearly 24 million vignettes in 2012 for the Austrian population of 8.5 million. The majority, 17.4m, were for the ten day vignette. Only 3.8m were annual vignettes. All vehicles using Austria’s motorways and expressways must buy the sticker, apart from some roads which are charged individually via toll booths where a vignette is not necessary.
