Când ai nevoie de rovinietă în România și ce amendă riști în 2026 dacă circuli fără ea • Newsweek România

In Romania, a rovinieta is mandatory for vehicles on national roads, with specific exceptions. Drivers must ensure their rovinieta is valid and be aware of updated fees and penalties for 2026. The rovinieta is required for using highways and express roads, and its necessity is determined by the road category, not merely by leaving a locality. The cost for cars varies based on the chosen validity period, and penalties for not having a valid rovinieta can be significant. Enforcement can occur through automatic license plate recognition, meaning drivers can be fined without being stopped by police. It's crucial for drivers to verify their rovinieta online before traveling to avoid fines.
