The Czech newspaper reports that on some of these websites, an extra fee amounting to approximately 10% of the vignette price is added to the customer's cart. Unofficial portals rank higher in online search results for "vignette" or "highway", increasing the chances of user error. The Czech Ministry of Transport is working to fix this, with the goal of making the official site rank first.

The standard rates for the required vignettes in the Czech Republic are: 310 crowns for a 10-day vignette (roughly $14), 440 crowns for a 30-day vignette (around $20), and 1500 crowns for an annual vignette (approximately $68).
