Drivers can take advantage of the lower prices valid until April 30, including for annual vignettes. For instance, if a driver plans to travel on May 24, but their current annual vignette expires a few days earlier, they can buy a new vignette for BGN 87 now with May 24 as the start date.

Drivers can check the validity of their vignettes on www.bgtoll.bg by clicking the Vignette Check button. After entering the vehicle's registration number and the country of registration, the system will display the expiration date of the electronic vignette, regardless of whether it was purchased from Road Infrastructure Agency outlets or from partner retailers. The status can be "active," "expired," or "unused," the last being applicable when a vignette was purchased with a  pre-set start date of up to 30 days from its activation.
