Slovakia: Humanitarian transport toll exemptions
Due to the current situation in Ukraine, transport of humanitarian aid and refugees is exempted from toll payments in Slovakia. The vehicle operator or driver must prove that the transportation of humanitarian aid or refugees is certified by the state administration body. It is also necessary to register the vehicle, which will be carrying the humanitarian transport.
Information for foreign hauliers
In this case, for the transport of humanitarian aid or refugees, the certificate of the foreign administration body must be also confirmed:
- if the humanitarian aid is unloaded in Slovakia – by the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic
- in case of transit of the humanitarian aid through Slovakia - by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic.
How to register
The easiest way to register your vehicle (over 3,5 t) as being exempt from electronic tolls is to apply for registration through the toll contact point.

Retroactivity of the exemption from the toll payment for humanitarian aid
