As in other European countries (Slovakia, Moldova, Austria, etc.), we need Romania. This is necessary for both foreign and Romanian citizens when they leave the town.
Rovinieta is, therefore, a tax to drive on certain roads in Romania.
There is also an additional fee for crossing the Fetești – Cernavodă bridge, but you can find out more about it here.
Where does the name ruin come from? From the association between “ro” and “vignietà”, meaning vignette in Romania.
One detail regarding the Romania scrap is that, if you somehow purchased one, you have to be careful about its validity period, or rather when it expires.
You certainly don’t want to be caught without a scratch on the roads in Romania! However, to make sure you don’t take unnecessary risks, we’ll talk a little bit about fines below.
