Driving in Serbia from the UK: tolls and rules

Serbian motorways charge distance tolls: take a magnetic card on entry and pay at the exit by cash or card. The official price list shows tolls in dinars and euros (Belgrade to Nis jug: 1,180 RSD or 10.50 EUR for a car). There is no vignette. UK insurance covers Serbia, so no green card is needed.

Do I need a vignette in Serbia, or do I pay tolls?

The state company Putevi Srbije collects tolls on the motorways from Belgrade towards Sid (Croatian border), Subotica (Hungarian border), Presevo (North Macedonia), Dimitrovgrad (Bulgaria) and Pozega, plus Krusevac to Cacak. You take a magnetic card at the entry toll station and pay at the exit; some stations (for example Sid and Stara Pazova) are frontal stations where you pay for the whole section. A car is Category 1 (two axles, up to 1.3 m high at the first axle, or a van up to 1.9 m high and 3,500 kg); a car towing a trailer is Category 2. Prices below are valid from 1 July 2026; the official tables do not give km.

How to pay

Manual toll: take a magnetic card at the entry station and hand it to the toll collector at the exit. You can pay in cash or by Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, Maestro, Postcard or DinaCard. Electronic toll (ENP): drive through lanes marked ENP/ETC without stopping, using a TAG device.^[2]
The official price list shows each toll in dinars (RSD) and in euros (EUR), with the euro amount based on the National Bank of Serbia exchange rate list no. 118 of 24 June 2024.^[3]
If you have no magnetic card, a card older than 24 hours, a damaged card, or a card already used, you pay on the spot for the longest route on that section plus the costs of the special procedure.^[1]
Anyone can use ENP by signing a contract with Putevi Srbije or buying a TAG at an authorised outlet (prepaid or postpaid). A Category 1 TAG can be moved between any passenger cars.^[4]

Speed limits and alcohol

Built-up areas: Not confirmed yet

Drink-drive limit: Not confirmed yet

Speed limits were not confirmed on an official Serbian page; FCDO refers drivers to a motoring club guide (see “Not confirmed yet” below).

We have not found official figures for Serbia yet, so we do not list any. Follow the road signs.

What UK drivers need

All UK vehicle insurance provides the minimum third party cover to drive in Serbia, and you do not need to carry a green card there. You still need valid vehicle insurance.^[6]
You can drive on a UK photocard licence for a series of short visits up to a year, or a single stay of up to 6 months. FCDO says the 1968 international driving permit (IDP) may help, as Serbian police will recognise it.^[5]
GOV.UK's international driving permit table lists the 1968 IDP for Serbia; get it in the UK before you travel.^[7]
Take your log book (V5C) and your insurance certificate if you are taking your own vehicle.^[8]
Check if you need a UK sticker: you need one unless your number plate shows the UK identifier with the Union flag.^[9]
FCDO: roads vary widely and are worse in rural areas; the Ibarska Magistrala (Belgrade via Cacak and Uzice to Montenegro) is particularly dangerous. Dial 1987 for roadside assistance.^[5]
Serbia is not in the Schengen area, so the borders with Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria are Schengen external borders with passport checks.^[10]

For documents, insurance, pets and border checks that apply to every country, see the driving to Europe checklist.

Not confirmed yet

We could not confirm these points on an official page, so this guide does not state them as facts. Check them with the operator before you travel.

Section lengths in km: the Putevi Srbije price list gives prices only.
The Batrovci border crossing is not named in the price list; the frontal toll station on that motorway is 'Sid' (Belgrade to Sid section). Belgrade (Beograd toll station) to Sid as a single price is not listed; Sid to Simanovci is the full tolled stretch shown.
Whether toll booths take euro banknotes: the payment page says cash without naming currencies; the price list shows both RSD and EUR amounts.
TAG device price for visitors and the Toll For All (T4A) scheme details were not checked.
Speed limits, blood alcohol limit and compulsory equipment: no official Serbian page (for example the Ministry of Interior) was loaded; FCDO only links to the RAC guide.
Winter tyre rules: not confirmed on an official page.
Low-emission zones: none researched.
