Hungary <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary Hungary Wikipedia] </ref>, is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Its capital, Budapest, is split by the Danube River. In Hungary, motorways, and certain sections of main roads are toll roads. Vignettes are mandatory for motorcycles and vehicles with weights less than 3.5 tonnes on these toll roads. For vehicles with a weight of over 3.5 tonnes, tolls are calculated according to the kilometers driven on the motorways.

== Are there road tolls in Hungary ==
+
 
−
You, there are two types of toll roads in Hungary
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, you need a valid e-vignette to drive on Hungarian motorways and expressways - there are no cash payment options or toll booths anywhere in the country. Hungary operates a fully electronic vignette system covering most of its motorway network.</p>
−
* Expressway
+
 
−
* Main Road
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Driving without a valid vignette triggers automatic license plate recognition cameras and results in expensive surcharges (HUF 26,640-91,780) on top of the original vignette cost.</p>
−
For motorcycles, buses, and vehicles weighing less than 3.5 tonnes, you can buy a vignette for all the motorways in Hungary.
+
 
−
For trucks, and vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes, toll rates vary according to the type of road you are driving your vehicle. Expressways have higher toll rates than the Main Road.
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Vignette prices increased by 3.4% from January 1, 2025, with new toll sections added to M44 and M85 from June 8, 2025. The 60-minute grace period for accidental entry remains in effect.</p>

Hungary Motorway Vignette Complete Guide

System: Electronic vignette system (e-matrica) + HU-GO for trucks
Coverage: M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M15, M19, M25, M30, M35, M43, M60, M70, M85, M86

Do I Need a Vignette for Hungary? 2025 Update

Yes, you need a valid e-vignette to drive on Hungarian motorways and expressways - there are no cash payment options or toll booths anywhere in the country. Hungary operates a fully electronic vignette system covering most of its motorway network.

Key Reality: Driving without a valid vignette triggers automatic license plate recognition cameras and results in expensive surcharges (HUF 26,640-91,780) on top of the original vignette cost.

2025 Update: Vignette prices increased by 3.4% from January 1, 2025, with new toll sections added to M44 and M85 from June 8, 2025. The 60-minute grace period for accidental entry remains in effect.
