In Germany, if you are driving a car or a vehicle weighing less than 7.5 tonnes, you will need to buy a vignette<ref name="vignette">[https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/what-is-vignette What is Vignette]</ref>. If you are driving a truck, motorhome, HGV or any other vehicle over 7.5 tonnes, you have to use OBU<ref name="OBU">[https://tollguru.com/toll-wiki/what-is-distance-based-tolling Know about an OBU]</ref> to pay tolls to Toll Collect.
