Border Crossings Romania Ukraine
The border between Romania and Ukraine is over 600 kilometers long and runs through the northwest of Romania and the southeast of Ukraine. The Romanian-Ukrainian border runs mainly along rivers (such as the Prut and Dniester) as well as through mountainous regions.
Border Controls
At the border crossings between Romania and Ukraine, there are (mainly due to the war situation) tightened border controls. Accordingly, travelers wishing to go from Ukraine to Romania must expect strict security and control measures.
Border Crossings
Below, we would like to present the most important border crossings between Romania and Ukraine.
Siret (Romania) – Soroca (Ukraine): This border crossing is located in the northwest of Romania, near the Prut River. The connection is considered one of the most important locations for traffic between the two countries.
Halmeu (Romania) – Vylkove (Ukraine): This border crossing is primarily used by local traffic/commuters and is located near the Danube Delta. This connection is also crucial for the regional economy and trade.
Dornesti (Romania) – Reni (Ukraine): This border crossing also serves the exchange of goods and services.
Ostrița (Romania) – Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Ukraine): This border crossing is located in the southern part of the border and is crucial for international traffic.
Izmail (Romania) – Reni (Ukraine): Izmail is a Romanian city in the south of the country and is also crucial for international trade and freight traffic.
Please note that all these border crossings are only open at certain times. Furthermore, due to the current war situation in Ukraine, there is no guarantee that these border crossings are passable and, above all, safe. Nevertheless, these border crossings are important for road and freight traffic as well as for trade between the two countries.
Romania
The following section gives you an overview of whether you need a vignette and whether there are certain toll-liable road sections.
Romania: Vignette Requirement (or not?)
In Romania, there is an electronic vignette called "Rovinieta", which you need for the Romanian national road network. It is important to know that trailers (combinations) do not need their own vignette, and motorhomes must have a car vignette regardless of their weight. It is common for the electronic vignette that the vehicle data and the validity period of the vignette are recorded in a database, so that the consumer only receives a receipt for the amount paid, which should be kept safe. Depending on the vehicle class, you must choose a different vignette, and different prices apply. Further information on the digital vignette can be found here. Order your digital vignette conveniently and easily from home with us.
Distance-Based Toll (or not?) and Special Toll
In Romania, there is no distance-based toll, but you need a digital vignette and must take into account additional fees when crossing the Danube (special toll).
Ukraine
In Ukraine, there are no toll-liable roads. Further information on tolls in Ukraine can be found in our guide.
