GPS coördinates

There are lots of different ways to display GPS coordinates. Each brand navigation system has its own specific way of entering this data. Thus there is no standard for GPS data. We restrict ourselves to the most common formats.

Pay attention!! Toll roads in Slovakia!

Since 2016, the payment method has changed for the toll on highways of Slovakia. There is now E-toll.

There are now two options:

1. At the first petrol station

At the first petrol station when you enter Slovakia you can buy an E-toll vignette. You don’t buy a sticker but your license plate is being registered. At the gas station, tell the employee your license plate and your mobile phone number. As proof of payment you will receive a text message on your mobile phone. This should be displayed on any traffic control when the police askes for it.

2. By the Internet.

Go to the internetpage: https://eznamka.sk/en/ First choose your language. Then choose how long you want a vignette, and pay with your credit card. Take care that the starting date is standard “today”. You might want to change it to a later date. Caution! If your car plus trolley or caravan have more weight then 3500 Kg you will need a second vignette. One for the car, and also one for the caravan or trolley. For a motorbike you also need to pay tol.

Prices

The prices are the same in both options. However, buying at the gas station is tricky with the Slovak language. The website is also available in English, German and other languages.

Traveling with navigation

If you travel with a navigation system, be carefull!
Pliešovce is a city. Zajezova is a village. In Zajezova there are no streetnames and the numbers are randomly. Your navigationsystem also does not know the quality and gradient of the roads. We advise you to use our directions for the last part of your  journey. (below this page)
