Tolls in Hungary are collected through a digital vignette. Motorway vignettes are linked to a vehicle registration number and can be bought online at vintrica. You can purchase the electronic vignette quickly and easily using PayPal, online banking or a credit card. A confirmation will be sent to your e-mail address and, if you wish, you will receive a text message confirmation that you can show at a checkpoint.

County vignettes

In Hungary, you have the option of purchasing annual vignettes for individual counties (= federal states). The so-called county vignettes are valid for a complete vignette year. The current annual vignette is valid from 1 January 2025 to 31 January 2026.

You can buy a single e-vignette for the following counties: Bács-Kiskun, Baranya, Békés, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Budapest, Fejér, Csongrád-Csanád, Győr-Moson-Sopron, Hajdú-Bihar, Heves, Jász-Nagykum-Szolnok, Komárom-Esztergom, Nógrád, Pest, Somogy, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, Tolna, Vas, Veszprém, Zala.

Regulations for cars, campervans, buses and trailers

The individual fee depends on the vehicle you are driving. If in doubt, please check the permissible total weight in section 1 of the vehicle registration certificate (V5C) listed under “F.1 Max. permissible mass”.

Important update: The toll category B2 was abolished on 1 April 2024. Vehicles previously classified under this category must now pay distance-based tolls via the HU-GO-System.

Fee category	Description
D1	Passenger cars incl. trailers as well as campervans with a permissible total weight (also called maximum authorised mass, MAM) of 3.5 tonnes and up to 7 seats. Attention: Vans are classified in category D2.
D1M	This applies exclusively to motorbikes.
D2	Applies to passenger cars with more than 7 seats up to 9 seats, to vans with up to 3.5 tonnes.
B2	Applies to buses with at least 10 seats, and all other vehicles with more than 9 seats.
U	Applies to trailers for categories D2 and B2 up to a total weight of 3.5 tonnes.

Fines

If you drive without a valid e-vignette, you risk heavy fines. We therefore recommend buying a vignette for your category before you set off.

How long are you allowed to drive in Hungary without a vignette?

If you accidentally drive on a route requiring a vignette and notice this, you still have 60 minutes to buy a valid vignette. You will then not receive a fine.

How is the vignette obligation checked?

Compliance with the car toll on motorways is monitored using video surveillance. The cameras are often located directly after the border crossing.

What penalties do I face without an e-vignette?

You will receive a fine by post. This has to be paid within 60 days, otherwise the fine will increase considerably.

Fines for cars, campervans, motorbikes, trailers

Fine for driving without a vignette for cars, campervans, motorbikes, trailers depending on the deadline.
Categories	Payment on time	Payment after 60 days
D1, D1M, D2, U	45 £	175 £

What penalty do I face if I have the wrong vignette?

If you have bought the wrong motorway vignette, you will have to pay a lower charge than if you have not paid any toll at all.

Fines for cars, campervans, motorbikes, trailers

Fine for buying the wrong e-vignette for cars, campervans, motorbikes, trailers depending on time of payment.
Categories	Payment on time	Payment after 60 days
D1, D1M, D2, U	22 £	85 £

Can I transfer my Hungarian vignette?

Yes, you can transfer the e-vignette to other vehicle registration numbers. However, this is only possible if the vehicle owner changes. In case of a write-off or theft, the e-vignette can be transferred to another vehicle of the same toll class.

Which vehicles are exempt from the vignette?

Only the following organisations are exempt:

The Hungarian Armed Forces for the protection of public order and NATO
bodies for the management of the public road network
Civil protection
Transport authorities
Bodies for toll collection and monitoring tasks
Other bodies with authorisation to use

No more stickers! No more stops!
