## 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.
