All questions - Validity
Toll system
If you purchase certain digital toll products as a consumer online in the ASFINAG Mautshop or the ASFINAG App, the European consumer protection period applies.
This period allows you to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days without providing a reason.
Since withdrawal is also possible by post, ASFINAG additionally considers 3 days for postal delivery.
Therefore, validity begins no earlier than the 18th day after purchase.
Which products are subject to the 18-day period?
The 18-day period applies only if you purchase the following products as a consumer online:
Digital 2-Month Vignette
Digital Annual Vignette
These products can be used immediately:
The following digital products can be used immediately, even if purchased in the ASFINAG Mautshop as a consumer:
Digital 1-Day Vignette
Digital 10-Day Vignette
Digital Section Toll Single Trip
Digital Section Toll Multi-Trip Card
Digital Section Toll FLEX
Example for the 18-day period
You purchase a Digital Annual Vignette in the ASFINAG Mautshop as a consumer on January 15th.
→ The earliest start of validity is February 2nd.
→ Only from this day are you allowed to use the toll road network.
For the Digital 2-Month Vignette, you can manually select a later validity date (e.g., April 5th), but not earlier than 18 days after purchase.
Who is considered a consumer?
You are considered a consumer if you purchase a digital toll product in the ASFINAG Mautshop for private purposes.
In this case, the consumer protection period applies.
This period does not apply to purchases:
at a toll station
from an authorized online distributor
from a local distributor
at ASFINAG vending machines
In these cases, you can purchase digital toll products for immediate use, and there is no right of withdrawal.
Who is considered an entrepreneur?
You are considered an entrepreneur if you purchase as part of your activity as an entrepreneur.
In this case, you can purchase all digital toll products in the ASFINAG Mautshop or the ASFINAG App for immediate use, and there is no right of withdrawal.
Start of validity
If you cannot wait for the 18-day period when purchasing a digital 2-month vignette or annual vignette, you can obtain a digital toll product with immediate validity from a local sales partner.
Note: When purchasing on-site (e.g., toll station, sales partner), you do not have a right of withdrawal.
These products can be purchased for immediate use:

Digital 10-day vignette
Digital section toll for a single trip
Digital section toll multi-trip card

Change of Validity
Yes. As long as your digital toll product is not yet valid, you can change the validity period for free in your ASFINAG account.
Digital products purchased from authorized online sales partners
If you purchased your digital toll product from an authorized online sales partner (e.g., ADAC, Autopay, Tolltickets), you must adjust the validity period there.
Products purchased on-site from a sales partner (e.g., gas station, ÖAMTC, ARBÖ) or in the ASFINAG Mautshop as a non-registered customer:
To change the validity, you must first assign the product to your ASFINAG account. You will need the product ID, which can be found on your order confirmation.
Only then can you edit the validity period in your ASFINAG account.
You can change the validity:
postpone it or
bring it forward
the 18-day rule applies here for the earliest possible start date if you purchased a digital 2-month vignette or annual vignette in the Mautshop as a consumer.
Can I change the vehicle license plate before the validity begins?
How can I check if my product is already valid?
You can see the current status:
in your ASFINAG account under "My Products",
on your order confirmation,
or via the validity query at evidenz.asfinag.at.
Example
You purchased a 10-day vignette, valid from July 10.
However, your vacation is postponed to July 24.
→ You must adjust the start of your vignette no later than July 9 at 11:59 PM in your ASFINAG account.
Restriction for short-term vignettes
For 1-day, 10-day, and 2-month vignettes, the validity cannot be postponed beyond November 30.

The following is displayed:

Digital toll products with a future validity start date
Validity period of the digital toll products
The information in the evidence database is updated in real time:
immediately after the successful purchase of a digital toll product
and immediately after the activation of the Digital Section Toll FLEX service
1.License plate entry
Enter the license plate exactly as it was registered during the purchase.
2.Only digital products can be queried
Sticker vignettes cannot be queried.
The evidence database only displays digital products.
How do I enter my license plate for the online validity query on evidenz.asfinag.at?
From the same device (e.g., computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone), a maximum of three queries per day is possible. This prevents large-scale or automated querying of the database.
Yes. Through the validity query, any person can check whether a specific vehicle with its license plate has a valid digital toll product and is allowed to use toll roads.
The evidence database exclusively displays the following information:
whether a valid or future digital toll product is present
which product is valid or will be (e.g., Digital Vignette, Section Toll Product, Digital Section Toll FLEX)
for which period this product is valid
What information is not displayed?
The validity query does not display the following data:
expired products
product details from the past
personal data (e.g., registration owner, address, contact information)
payment information
data from your ASFINAG account
It is therefore not possible to obtain personal or confidential information about a person through the query.
The evidence database only displays digital toll products that are currently valid or whose validity begins in the future.
As soon as the last validity day has expired:
the product is no longer displayed,
and the associated data is automatically removed from the query.
Expired products or older details can no longer be retrieved.
Important for the Digital Section Toll FLEX service:
The service status will not be displayed as valid if:
a payment has failed, or
the service is blocked.
What should I do if the payment via the Digital Section Toll FLEX service fails?
Why was the Digital Section Toll FLEX service blocked and what do I do now?
No, because the entry in the vignette record is automatic.
