Vignettes Sold at Over 3,000 Distribution Points

Vignettes are sold at over 3,000 distribution points across the country. 372 of them work round the clock. Such are the big petrol stations and the commercial chains, the Bulgarian Post Offices, the regional road administrations and the Border Control Checkpoints. Currently, there are over 2 million vignettes in the distribution network, out of which 900 thousand are annual vignettes for cars. Until the end of January, there will be over 5 million.

The complete list of the distribution network is published on the web site of the Agency:   http://old.api.bg/files/6415/0071/4048/Distributors_API_07.2017.pdf

The annual vignettes for 2017 will be valid until 31 January 2018. Until the end of November 2017, 6,985,024 vignettes have been sold. Accrued revenue is 338,619,953 BGN. Of  the 338 million BGN collected so far, nearly 244 million BGN come from drivers of cars and about 95 million BGN come from drivers of trucks over 3,5 tons.

2018 will be the third consecutive year in which prices for all car vignettes will remain unchanged. The annual vignette costs 97 BGN, the monthly one – 30 BGN and the weekly one – 15 BGN. This year marks the introduction of the quarterly vignette for cars. Its price will be 54 BGN. It will allow people who drive their cars mainly during summer, during a longer holiday, or who are not permanent residents of the country, to use a sticker for a shorter period.

It’s the first time that the annual vignette for all vehicles will be valid for a period of one year from the date of purchase, i.e. if a driver purchases a sticker, for example, on 3 March 2018, when he leaves for the National Holiday, it will be valid until 2 March 2019. When purchasing a vignette, we should request and keep the cash register receipt, with the registration number of the motor vehicle in it.
