Tolls in Croatia – the CROLIBERTAS system

Croatia does not use time-based vignettes – tolls are paid according to the distance actually travelled.
The new CROLIBERTAS system will start operating on 1 March 2027 and allow drivers to pass through without stopping at toll booths.

How it works

What the toll is calculated from

Croatia does not use time-based motorway vignettes, so there is no option to select a vignette validity period. The toll amount depends on several factors. Below, you can find out what affects the final price and how the toll is calculated.

Distance travelled

The toll depends on the distance you actually travel on the Croatian motorway network. A shorter trip means a smaller amount.

Vehicle category

The toll amount depends on the vehicle category, which is determined by the number of axles, vehicle height, maximum authorised mass and whether a trailer is attached.

Motorway sections used

The toll amount depends on the specific motorway sections you travel on. You only pay for the toll sections you actually use.

Toll calculation

The final toll is calculated based on the recorded route and the applicable rate for your vehicle category.

The CROLIBERTAS system starts on 1 March 2027. We will publish the exact tariffs for each vehicle category as soon as the operator confirms them.

Vehicles with and without a trailer

In Croatia, trailers are not registered separately. During the journey, the system detects the characteristics of the entire vehicle combination and automatically assigns the appropriate category for toll calculation.

Category based on vehicle type

Vehicle on its own

During registration, you enter your vehicle's licence plate number. While driving, the camera system automatically recognises the vehicle without a trailer and assigns it the appropriate category for toll calculation based on its characteristics.

Category based on the whole combination

Vehicle with a trailer

Neither a trailer nor a caravan needs to be registered separately. During the journey, the system automatically recognises the entire vehicle combination and assigns it the appropriate category. Towing a trailer may therefore result in a higher category and a higher toll than driving the vehicle alone.

A trailer can affect the toll category and price

Attaching a trailer or caravan changes the characteristics of the vehicle combination, particularly the number of axles. The combination may therefore fall into a higher toll category, resulting in a higher toll than when driving without a trailer. You do not need to update your vehicle registration – the system automatically recognises the vehicle combination as you pass through and determines the appropriate category.
