Two questions that arise at the beginning of each year are - “How much will the trip to Greece cost this year?” and “How many toll booths are there on the way to the resort?”
During 2019, there were numerous changes on the roads of Serbia, with the opening of new toll stations on Corridor 10 and the removal of some existing ones. This was followed by price increases and adjustments, as well as the introduction of new toll stations in Serbia, North Macedonia, and Greece.

Toll prices in Serbia if you are heading to the border crossing in Presevo

As of mid-January 2020, the Niš and Doljevac toll plazas stopped operating, while new toll stations were introduced, both on the eastern and southern branches of Corridor 10. The new toll plazas are Niš south and Prokuplje on the southern branch of Corridor 10, as well as Niš north , Niš East and Niš Malča, Bela Palanka, Pirot Zapad and Pirot East on the eastern side of the Corridor. This introduced a closed toll collection system from Belgrade to Preševo (southern branch of Corridor 10) or from Belgrade to Dimitrovgrad (eastern branch of Corridor 10).
For those traveling to Greece via North Macedonia from Belgrade, from now on the toll to Preševo will be 15 EUR. From Novi Sad, the total amount of tolls in Serbia is 17.50 EUR, and passengers departing from Subotica to Greece will pay 21.50 EUR in one direction. The trip to North Macedonia from Niš this year will cost you 6 to 7 EUR, depending on which exit you choose.

Tolls for travel through Bulgaria

In Serbia, as of January 1, 2018. a toll booth was introduced at Dimitrovgrad, so now the toll cost for the Belgrade-Dimitrovgrad section amounts to RSD 1490 for vehicles in the first category.

The toll cost for the Niš-Dimitrovgrad section will depend on the location/toll station where the vehicle enters the highway. If the vehicle enters at the “Niš north” toll station and exits at the “Dimitrovgrad” toll station, the toll fee for cars and vans amounts to 480 RSD. If the vehicle enters at the “Niš east” toll station and exits at the “Dimitrovgrad” toll station, the toll fee for the mentioned category of vehicles amounts to 450 RSD.

If you start your journey to Greece from Novi Sad and travel through Bulgaria, the toll through Serbia will cost you 1550 RSD, while the toll cost from Subotica to Dimitrovgrad will amount to 1950 RSD.

Of course, a vignette is obligatory for travel through Bulgaria.

The prices for vignettes in Bulgaria are as follows:

  • Weekend validity (from Friday at 12:00 to Sunday at 23:59) – 10 BGL (5€)
  • 7-day validity – 15 BGL (8€)
  • Monthly validity – 30 BGL (15€)
  • 3-month validity – 54 BGL (28€)
  • 12-month validity – 97 BGL (50€)

You can always check the prices of vignettes on the website of the Bulgarian Road Agency.

From January 1, 2019, for car travel through Bulgaria, you can also purchase an electronic vignette (e-vignette) online via the internet or through the mobile application BGTOLL. Electronic vignettes have the same price as paper vignettes, and the advantage is that drivers will no longer have to stop at the entrance to Bulgaria to purchase a vignette and will not have to stick it on the windshield.

A new toll booth has been introduced at Promahonas in northern Greece for those traveling through Bulgaria to Greece, Thasos, or the Kavala region. Starting this year, the toll fee is 2.4€.

Since mid-January 2020, there is another toll station (Strimoniko) between Thessaloniki and Serres, where the toll is 1€ for those who choose to travel this section to Thessaloniki or Halkidiki.
