How much will road tolls increase in Serbia in 2026
As of January 1, 2026, tolls in Serbia have officially increased, with the new rates now in effect for all highways in the country.The increase affects both transit traffic and local travel, with prices adjusted for inflation and economic conditions.For Bulgarian drivers, this means higher costs when traveling to Central Europe or Greece through Serbian territory.For example, the route from the border at Kalotina (Tsaribrod) to Belgrade already costs about 1,800 dinars, and crossing the entire country can reach over 2,600 dinars for a car.
How fees are calculated and how to budget
The system in Serbia is different from the Bulgarian one, as there are no vignettes - it is paid according to the distance traveled and the category of the vehicle.This means that the final price depends on the route, not the length of stay.On average, for a passenger car, the cost is about 2 euros per 100 km, and for longer routes the amount increases proportionally.Tolls can be paid in cash (dinars or euros), by card or through an electronic system (ETC), which offers faster passage and discounts.For optimal budget planning, it is recommended that drivers use online calculators and estimate costs before the trip.
