Road tax in Lithuania

No Comments
We present information about road tax in Lithuania and toll roads in Lithuania. Road users must have a valid electronic vignette (i.e. after paying the road tax). We would like to inform you that from 07/01/2023 to 12/31/2025 the road user tax is not applicable when driving PURE ELECTRIC CARS AND CARS DRIVEN BY HYDROGEN GAS.
 
Electronic vignette (hereinafter – e-vignette) is an electronic record in the Road Traffic Information System of State Significance, confirming the fact of paying the user fee and allowing the use of the highest category roads A1-A18 during its validity period.
 

From 2024 January 1 New road user tax (e-vignette) tariffs have entered into force in Lithuania. When calculating the e-vignette tariff, the number of axles of the motor vehicle and the level of emissions (EURO class) are evaluated.

After purchasing a dedicated vignette, you can use toll roads in Lithuania. Below are the road tax rates for certain vehicles and roads that can be driven with a vignette. Map of distribution locations HERE . You can buy a vignette or check its validity at  https://keliumokestis.lt/purchase/cart.xhtml
