The Ministry of Transport proposes that the toll be established according to the class of polluting emissions (EURO), starting from July 1, and that the new tariffs be updated annually according to the inflation rate.
It is about a draft order regarding the approval of vehicle categories and the level of damage, put up for debate by the Ministry of Transport, writes Agerpres.
“The toll fee is established and applied according to: vehicle category; pollutant emission class (EURO); duration of use of the national road network in Romania. The duration of use includes travel time, as well as stationary time. The value of the toll fee is applied in a non-discriminatory manner to Romanian and foreign users,” the draft states.
What new rates are proposed for the Rovinieta, from July 1
According to the annex to the project, in the case of passenger vehicles with a maximum of 9 seats (including the driver) and passenger cars, for electric and EURO VI vehicles, the fee will be 22 lei for one day, 30 lei for 10 days, 48 lei for 30 days, 76 lei for 60 days and 254 lei for a year.
In the case of EURO V-IV vehicles, the rates will be 26 lei for one day, 35 lei for 10 days, 55 lei for 30 days, 87 lei for 60 days and 292 lei for 12 months, and for EURO III-0 vehicles, they will amount to 29 lei for one day, 39 lei for 10 days, 62 lei for 30 days, 99 for 60 days and 330 lei for a year.
As for goods transport vehicles with a mass less than or equal to 3.5 tons, the prices of the toll will be between 52 and 67 lei per day, 69 and 90 lei for 10 days, 110 and 143 lei for 30 days, 173 and 225 lei for 60 days and 579-753 lei for 12 months.

The amount of the levy, set in lei, will be updated annually, until December 31, according to the consumer price index (CPI) communicated by the National Institute of Statistics for the previous year, according to a formula established by the ministry. The annually updated value of the toll will apply starting January 1 of the following year, the Ministry of Transport also proposes.
The last increase in the price of rovinia was in September 2025.
Now, the price of the toll set by law is in euros, but drivers pay the toll in lei, at a price that is updated month by month, depending on the euro-lei exchange rate.
Rovinieta for cars currently costs between 17 and 18 lei for one day, 10 days – about 31 lei, 30 days – about 48 lei, 60 days – about 77 lei, 12 months – 255 lei.
