Have I got all my tolls+tags+stickers for Europe?

[Jimmyrn85]

Hi team,

I'm doing a road trip in September which touches on a few countries and just want to make sure I'm covered.

I've uploaded a picture of my route, but I will actually be visiting Monaco in that too, so a little leg off the bottom of it and back up.

So basically... Am I right with this list?

Austria - Need a vignette
Belgium - Nothing required
France - Bip and go for tolls + certificat air for clean air sticker
Italy - Covered under France Bip and go?
Monaco - Nothing required
Germany - Do I need a clean air sticker?
Liechtenstein - Nothing required
Luxembourg - Nothing required
Switzerland - Need a vignette

Hope my list is right, if someone could please clarify my Germany requirements? I will be driving from Davos to Stuttgart. Then on to Mons.

Thanks all!

Monaco has a requirement for an International Driving Permit (Type 1968) if that helps.

Thanks, I had no idea. RAC makes no mention of it?!

All your countries are ok except Monaco which requires an IDP of type 1968.

Germany. I think you only need a green sticker if you’re driving into city centres. I got one for the Jag, because we drove into central Berlin last week.
I had to apply in advance. I got it from on line form here > https://www.berlin.de/sen/uvk/en/enviro ... sion-zone/

There might be an English version somewhere. It cost me £6 paid online as part of the application. I had to upload copies of V5. It took 10 days to arrive.

I’m not sure if it’s needed for all cities, or if you’re not going into city centres, you might not need it. I did notice that all cars seemed to have one.

Ref Austria, you can buy at services near the border. 10 day vignette cost about 10 Euro. Tolls still payable on top. Note- I’ve found tolls don’t like contactless cards. I’ve needed to use cash all this week.

In Belgium no sticker required, but if you intend to enter the LEZ cities (Brussels, antwerp, gent...) you need to preregister otherwise hefty fine. If you are simply driving by on the highway no need.

BTW, during your trip you will find out that the petrol tank on this car is a bit small, could have been much better with 10-20 liters more capacity.

Ah I'd have loved to but I'm working in Singapore from the 3rd and don't think I could drive there from France in a day
