Beware Where You Buy Your Vignette! Unauthorized Platform Sells Them for Almost 30 Lei More

Adevărul reports on a critical issue facing Romanian drivers: the proliferation of unauthorized online platforms selling mandatory road vignettes (rovinieta). The National Company for Road Infrastructure Administration (CNAIR) has issued a stern warning about erovinieta.net, highlighting its deceptive practices. This platform not only operates without authorization but also imposes a significant surcharge of 12% on the legal price. The article emphasizes the substantial financial burden this places on drivers, illustrating it with a concrete example of a 12-month vignette costing over 30 lei more than the official price. CNAIR's explicit disclaimer of responsibility underscores the risks drivers take when deviating from official channels. This situation reflects a broader concern in Romania about online scams and the need for consumer vigilance, especially when dealing with essential services and government-mandated fees. The emphasis on the extra cost and CNAIR's strong warning aims to protect citizens from financial exploitation.
