Automatic Toll Payment Bulgaria Vignette Online - BGTOLL Vignettes

Bulgarian Vignette Online Through CargoTrack

On March 1, 2020, Bulgaria launched a new electronic distance-based toll system – Toll System. It covers a total of 3,115 km of the Bulgarian road network, including 803 km of motorway (see the list of toll roads on the official website of the National Toll Administration – www.bgtoll.bg). The system is similar to the one introduced in Hungary, meaning you can prepay for Bulgarian vignettes with a route pass or through an electronic toll payment device.

How does it work?

1. As a first step, a contract is signed between you, CargoTrack and the Bulgarian authorities;
2. A virtual account is created, in which we register all your vehicle details;
3. You are responsible for topping up the virtual account with enough money to cover transit for all vehicles, based on the invoice without VAT issued by CargoTrack;
4. After this process, CargoTrack will confirm activation of the BGTOLL Bulgarian vignette service by e-mail and SMS;
5. You can then start driving through without any issues, with road tolls paid automatically;
6. In your account you can also view in real time the tolls paid and your balance;

BGTOLL Bulgarian Vignette Payment Options

• With a route pass

Once paid, the route pass is valid for 24 hours and entitles you to drive on the selected road sections.

When the pass is issued, you must specify: the starting point, the destination and up to 4 intermediate points, the vehicle registration number, country of registration, vehicle category, emission class, number of axles and vehicle dimensions.

Passes can be purchased:

• With any bank card at any self-service terminal (no cash), located right next to border crossing points;
• At the offices of the Regional Road Administrations (A.I.R) – payment by card or cash;
• Online via the website bgtoll.bg or the mobile app.

It is very important to note that the pass can be purchased up to 7 days in advance by registered users and 24 hours in advance by unregistered users. Registration is done online and is a very simple process that only requires validating your e-mail address.

• With a GNSS device

The Bulgarian vignette can be paid through a device installed in the vehicle’s dashboard, as follows:

• The installed device generates the data needed to calculate the road toll correctly;
• The data is sent and then processed by the national toll service providers (FNSCTR) or by EETS (European Electronic Toll Service) providers and passed on to the Bulgarian authorities;
• Finally, the service providers guarantee payment of the toll owed by the road user.

If you choose this option, you must use a provider that can offer this solution. Fortunately, CargoTrack can supply and install this special device so you can stop worrying about paying road tolls!
