What happens to the rovinieta bought for a truck now that TollRo applies: how to get your money back
In short: if you have trucks over 3.5 tons with a valid rovinieta (Romanian road vignette), it ceased to be valid on October 1, 2026, when TollRo started to apply. The money for the remaining period can be recovered, but it is not returned automatically: Article 24(4) of Law no. 226/2023 provides that CNAIR (Romanian road infrastructure company) refunds the value of the unused period only […]
If you run a fleet of freight vehicles over 3.5 tons, you need to make a concrete decision: how to pay TollRo. In short: since October 1, 2026, 00:00, TollRo is paid in the CNAIR (Romanian road infrastructure company) system, in two ways: with a route ticket, bought before departure in the TollRo app, on etoll.ro, […]
In short: TollRo and HU-GO work on the same principle — charging based on the distance actually traveled, the vehicle category and the Euro emission class, with payment via route ticket or on-board unit (OBU). The main difference is maturity: HU-GO has been running in Hungary for years, while TollRo launched in Romania on […]
In short: yes, TollRo replaces the rovinieta (Romanian road vignette) for freight vehicles with a maximum authorized weight over 3.5 tons, starting October 1, 2026. Unlike the rovinieta, which is a flat fee for a set period, TollRo is calculated per kilometer traveled, based on the vehicle’s weight category, its Euro emission class […]
In short: the TollRo toll is paid per kilometer traveled, and the rate depends on the vehicle's Euro emission class, its weight category (MTMA) and the road type. The rate has four emission tiers: electric vehicles (the lowest, since October 8, 2026, OMTI 959/2026), Euro VI, Euro V–IV and Euro III–0, including […]
In short: MTMA stands for Masă Totală Maximă Autorizată (maximum authorized weight), i.e., the maximum weight a vehicle may legally have when fully loaded (its own weight plus the permitted load). The value is listed on the registration certificate and is set by the manufacturer. For TollRo, MTMA is the criterion that decides whether a vehicle falls under the new system […]
In short: Yes, TollRo applies on highways, but also on expressways and national roads, except for national road sections within city limits. The new road tolling system targets freight vehicles with a maximum authorized weight above 3.5 tons and replaces the rovinieta (Romanian road vignette) for them. The rate is calculated per kilometer […]
In short: since October 1, 2026, TollRo has been paid in the system of CNAIR (Romanian road infrastructure company), in two ways: with a route ticket, bought before departure in the TollRo app, on etoll.ro, at CNAIR points of sale or at border crossings, or with a per-kilometer session, which works only in the TollRo app, on […]
In short: the difference between TollRo and the rovinieta lies in how the toll is charged and which vehicles it targets. The rovinieta is paid for a set period, regardless of the kilometers traveled, and remains valid for cars, minibuses, coaches, and freight vehicles up to 3.5 tons. TollRo applies to freight vehicles over 3.5 tons and […]
In short: TollRo costs between 0.08 and 0.62 lei/km (VAT included) for combustion-engine vehicles, depending on the vehicle's maximum authorized weight, Euro emission class and road type. The lowest rates apply to 3.5–7.5-ton vehicles on national roads, and the highest to vehicles over […]
