== Where to buy a vignette in Bulgaria == 
Since 2019, Bulgaria has implemented E-Vignette. The vignettes are purchased online<ref> [https://web.bgtoll.bg/ bgtoll web ] </ref>, 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 <br/>


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.
<div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert">
  A compensatory fee or fine of BGN 70 is levied for a car without vignette.

== 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 [https://tollpass.bg/ 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.
