Prices represent official 2026 tariffs issued by the Public Enterprise for State Roads. Paying in local currency (MKD) is highly recommended as EUR exchange structures at the gates incur a 10–15% conversion premium. EuroGoPass maps your exact route budget and provides mandatory digital transit vignettes for neighboring countries.

Good to know
- No vignette requirements: North Macedonia does not utilize a time-based vignette sticker or digital registry pass. Motorway funding is maintained entirely through traditional pay-per-section toll plazas.
- Double currency acceptability: All manned booths accept both Macedonian Denar (MKD) and Euro (EUR) cash. However, if you settle in Euros, the change is legally returned exclusively in local MKD denars.
- Coin restrictions at plazas: If paying in Euros, toll booths accept 50-cent, 1-Euro, and 2-Euro coins alongside small banknotes. Copper coins (10 and 20 cents) are strictly rejected by gate operators.
- Electronic card options (MCard): Frequent travelers can buy a contactless electronic card (MCard) at any toll station for 100 MKD (~1.60 €) and top it up with a minimum of 300 MKD to access slight lane discounts and automated contactless processing.
- Towed trailers & caravans: Towing a trailer or camper caravan automatically moves a standard passenger car from Category IB into Category II. This changes the structural pricing tier and increases individual booth fees by roughly 30–50%.

Commonquestions
No. North Macedonia uses a traditional closed-plaza toll road network. You do not purchase any pre-paid digital vignette or window sticker before entering the country.
Yes. All major toll plazas across the A1, A2, and A4 motorways are equipped with payment terminals accepting standard international credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard).
Euro cash is accepted at all main highway plazas. However, because conversion rates are fixed unfavorably at the booths, you will pay a slightly higher premium compared to the market rate, and any change due to you will be given back in Macedonian Denars (MKD).
Yes. You can purchase a contactless "MCard" at any toll station. Additionally, open integration initiatives allow select foreign electronic transponders (like the Serbian TAG device) to be configured for use in Macedonian electronic lanes, provided they are re-registered to an open-loop payment profile.
If traveling from Skopje toward Ohrid via the A2 western corridor (Tetovo/Gostivar), you will encounter 5 toll booths totaling approximately 200 MKD (~4.00 €). The final mountainous leg between Gostivar and Ohrid is toll-free.
While North Macedonia relies on physical cash or card payments at road gates, getting there from Central Europe requires crossing multiple digital vignette jurisdictions. EuroGoPass seamlessly maps your cross-border trip, outlines your total toll plaza cash obligations, and bundles all mandatory digital transit vignettes for countries like Hungary, Slovakia, or Bulgaria into a single checkout.
- Charges apply strictly to vehicles operating on the following express highway systems:
- A1 Motorway: Tabanovce (Serbian border) — Kumanovo — Skopje — Veles — Gevgelija (Greek border).
- A2 Motorway: Skopje — Tetovo — Gostivar corridor segment.
- A4 Motorway: Skopje — Miladinovci — Sveti Nikole — Štip link.
- All other secondary regional (R-prefix) and national trunk roads remain completely free of toll collection.
