The toll depends on the distance, the vehicle category, the emission class and the number of axles. Each vehicle needs an on-board unit that belongs to that vehicle. Our price includes the toll. From 1 January 2027, Slovakia uses a new electronic toll system. Carriers register their trucks in the new system from 1 December 2026 and get new on-board units. Until 31 December 2026, trucks use the current system and its units. The toll rates and the toll roads stay the same. The price we agree includes the toll in both systems. Trucks over 7.5 t, and trucks over 3.5 t with a trailer, have driving bans on motorways, expressways and class I roads. New hours apply since 1 September 2026\. Before that date, the Sunday ban started at 00:00 and the summer Saturday ban at 07:00\. Other hours apply when several days off follow each other. __Truck driving bans on Slovak motorways, expressways and class I roads, from 1 September 2026__ | Day | Period | Hours | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------- | ----------- | | Sundays | All year | 06:00–22:00 | | A public holiday after a working day | All year | 06:00–22:00 | | Saturdays after a working day | 1 July to 31 August | 09:00–19:00 | ## Winter rules for trucks in Slovakia Slovak law requires winter tyres for trucks over 3.5 t on at least one drive axle. The rule covers the period from 15 November to 31 March and days with snow, ice or frost on the road. The tyres must carry the mountain and snowflake symbol or the M+S mark. Snow can slow a truck in winter. Agree a delivery window with the receiver, and send us the loading date early. ## How a load runs to Slovakia For this route, we book a checked partner carrier.
