Slovenian e-vignette fine from DARS: EUR 300, half price and how to challenge it
Last checked 14 November 2026. General information, not legal advice. Also in: Deutsch Polski
The fine
Driving on a Slovenian motorway without a valid e-vignette for your plate and vehicle class costs EUR 300 (Toll Act ZCestn-1). Paying half (EUR 150) within the short window on the order settles it. DARS sends payment orders by post, usually within a month, and issued 75,234 in 2024 – mostly to foreign drivers.
Challenging it
The order explains how to file a zahteva za sodno varstvo (request for judicial protection), usually within 8 days of delivery. Attach your purchase proof if you had a vignette or the seller typed your plate wrongly. DARS has replaced many wrong-plate fines with warnings; a fee may apply.
Real or fake?
The only official shop is evinjeta.dars.si. Many resellers charge extra. Fines come from DARS d.d. by post, not by SMS link.
Recommendation
If you had no valid vignette, the fine is very likely valid: paying EUR 150 in time is the cheapest outcome.
