Do I really need an environmental sticker to drive in Europe?

Yes. Most large European cities (Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Madrid, Milan and 300+ more) have low-emission zones where vehicles without a valid sticker cannot enter and risk fines from €80 up to €3 000 per offence.

How long does delivery take?

We dispatch every order within 24 hours and the sticker reaches your address by tracked post in 3 to 7 working days across the EU.

What if my application is rejected?

We offer a full money-back guarantee. If the issuing authority rejects your application, you receive 100 % of the price refunded — no questions asked.

Can I order stickers for several countries at once?

Yes. Click multiple country cards on the form — Germany, France, Austria and others can be combined in a single order. Total is calculated automatically.

Is the sticker valid for the lifetime of my car?

For the German Umweltplakette and the French Crit'Air, yes — both are valid as long as the sticker is legible and the vehicle's plate number does not change.

Required across Europe

Why you need an environmental sticker

Environmental zones (LEZ) are mandatory in thousands of places across Europe — and the network keeps growing every year. Driving without a valid eco-sticker exposes you to high fines and immediate denial of entry.

Avoid fines up to 120 €

Driving into a low-emission zone without a valid sticker is checked automatically by camera and police patrols. Fines start around 80 € and can be issued repeatedly per entry.

Mandatory for LEZ entry

You cannot legally enter most German Umweltzone, French Crit'Air, Belgian, Italian, Dutch and Spanish low-emission zones without the correct environmental badge displayed on your windscreen.

300+ zones and growing

The number of low-emission zones in Europe more than doubled in the last 5 years and dozens of new cities introduce them every year. A sticker bought today saves you trouble tomorrow.

Required in major cities

Including Berlin, München, Paris, Brussel, Madrid, Lisboa, Praha, Wien, Antwerpen, Roma, Barcelona, Amsterdam and many more — covering historic centres, business districts and tourist hotspots.

Don't get turned away

Hotels, business meetings, holidays — without a valid sticker your trip ends at the city border. Avoid stress, detours and last-minute parking outside the zone.

Once. Done. Years valid.

Most environmental stickers are valid for the lifetime of the vehicle. Order online in 60 seconds, receive it by mail and forget about it for years.

Navigating Austria with Eco-Friendly Plates: A Guide to Ekoplates

Austria, renowned for its stunning Alpine landscapes and historic cities, is also a nation committed to environmental protection. As part of its efforts to improve air quality and promote sustainable mobility, Austria has implemented regulations that impact vehicle emissions. For residents and visitors alike, understanding and complying with these environmental standards is crucial. This is where Ekoplates steps in, offering a seamless solution for acquiring Austria ecology plates, ensuring your vehicle meets the necessary environmental classifications and allows you to explore Austria’s beauty responsibly.

Similar to environmental badge systems in other European countries, Austria’s approach categorizes vehicles based on their emission levels. While Austria doesn’t use a physical “badge” in the same way Germany does with its “Umweltplakette,” the principle is similar: certain vehicles may be restricted from entering designated low-emission zones (LEZs) or environmental zones (Umweltzonen) to reduce pollution in urban areas. Ekoplates simplifies this process by providing the necessary documentation and guidance to ensure your vehicle is compliant, whether you’re driving an electric car or a conventionally fueled vehicle that meets the required standards.

Choosing Ekoplates for your Austria ecology plate needs offers numerous benefits. Beyond ensuring legal compliance and avoiding potential fines for entering restricted zones, these plates signify your commitment to a greener future. For eligible eco-friendly vehicles, there can also be practical advantages, such as exemptions from certain fees or road taxes, or preferential parking in some areas. Ekoplates provides all the necessary information and support to help you understand these benefits and apply for the appropriate classification for your vehicle.
