Asfinag Warning: Hands Off Overpriced Vignettes

"These sellers are not authorized. This means: A second careful look at the respective website before purchasing protects against unpleasant surprises," said Asfinag in a statement on Monday, recommending that the vignette be purchased exclusively in the Asfinag toll shop or from the official online distribution partners.

Vignette Purchase: Asfinag Warns Against Fake Shops

According to Asfinag, while the affected providers usually offer a valid vignette, they charge overpriced rates and disregard consumer protection regulations. "Asfinag does not charge additional fees for vignette purchases like some of these online shops. Moreover, there are more and more fake shops that closely resemble the Asfinag toll shop. In this process, customers are also financially harmed through fraudulent schemes," said Managing Director Claudia Eder. Asfinag is attempting to take legal and technical measures against these providers and websites.

In addition to the toll shop shop.asfinag.at, only the official online distribution partners (ADAC, Autopay, and Tolltickets) offer a secure purchase. Furthermore, the vignettes are available at sales points such as ÖAMTC, ARBÖ, gas stations, and tobacconists, as well as at Asfinag toll stations and vending machines without price surcharges.
