Bulgaria[1] - the oldest country in Europe - lies in the Balkan region. The country shares its borders with Romania, Greece, Turkey, North Macedonia and Serbia.
In Bulgaria, tolls are charged on all motorways, expressways and 1st class roads. At the Romanian border, there are two toll bridges across the Danube river, Calafat - Vidin bridge, and Giurgiu - Rousse bridge.
How does toll system work in Bulgaria
There are two types of toll systems in Bulgaria.
- For vehicles with 4 wheels and weight under 3.5 tonnes
- E-Vignette is mandatory on the tolled roads. E-Vignette is an electronic document that confirms the payment of toll fees for usage of the road network for a certain validity period
- For vehicles with a permissible maximum mass over 3.5 tonnes
- Satellite-based BGtoll system calculates the toll based on the distance traveled on a toll road. Vehicles can either buy a Route pass prior to the trip or install a Tollpass on-board unit[2] which settles tolls automatically
Where to buy a vignette in Bulgaria
Since 2019, Bulgaria has implemented E-Vignette. The vignettes are purchased online[3], at retail outlets and at dedicated sale points. Unlike toll stickers, e-vignette details are stored centrally by toll authorities and it is not required to stick it to the windscreen. E-Vignettes come with different validity periods like
- 1 week
- 1 month
- 3 months
- 1 year
Vignette categories also vary for light motor vehicles (cars) and vehicles with trailers.
Driving without a vignette on a paid road network is an offence. National Toll Management enforces the vignette payment through cameras installed on the road.
A compensatory fee or fine of BGN 70 is levied for a car without vignette.
| Validity | Vehicles under 3.5 tons (in BGN) | Car trailers with combined weight over 3.5 tons (in BGN) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 weekend | 10.00 лв. | 10.00 лв. |
| 1 week | 15.00 лв. | 15.00 лв. |
| 1 month | 30.00 лв. | 30.00 лв. |
| 3 months | 54.00 лв. | 54.00 лв. |
| 1 year | 97.00 лв. | 97.00 лв. |

Truck Tolls and Tollpass OBU in Bulgaria
Bulgaria uses GNSS technology to charge tolls for trucks, HGVs and vehicles which weigh over 3.5 tonnes. The satellite system charges rates automatically as the vehicle travels on a toll road using an on-board unit. Before the start of the trip, the user has to enter toll-related parameters like axle count and weight, which is verified by in motion sensors present on the roads.
Toll rates, and how to pay truck tolls
For vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, toll fees are based on the total kilometres travelled. The price per kilometer depends on the axle count, weight and emission class of the vehicle. It also varies with the type of road. Truck toll rates are usually higher than bus rates.
For occasional trips, users can buy the Route pass for a pre-selected route at tollpass.bg. These are also available at border checkpoints. The Route pass is valid for 24hrs from the selected trip date and users can purchase in advance.
For frequent road users, Tollpass OBU is recommended for the settlement of toll bills every month.
