In Hungary, the e-vignette is required for all motor vehicles up to 3,500 kg, but the type of vehicle determines which vignette category you need. Passenger cars, motorhomes, vans, trailers and buses do not all pay the same fee, each belongs to a different toll class. This means two vehicles under 3,500 kg may still require different vignette types.

Toll in Hungary
Hungary uses a digital vignette system (e-matrica) to collect motorway tolls. Instead of a physical sticker, the Hungary vignette is linked directly to your vehicle’s license plate, allowing seamless travel on all toll motorways and expressways. Vehicles are monitored by automatic license plate recognition cameras, so having a valid vignette before entering the motorway is essential to avoid fines.

Toll roads in Hungary
Hungary has one of the most developed motorway networks in Central Europe, and most long-distance routes are subject to tolls. To use these roads legally, all drivers must register a digital vignette, which is electronically linked to the vehicle’s license plate. There is no physical sticker, and toll enforcement is carried out by automatic camera systems that scan license plates and verify vignette validity in real time.
The toll system applies to motorways (M roads) and several expressways, which connect Budapest with every region of the country and with neighbouring nations such as Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia and Croatia. These routes are essential for holiday travel, business journeys and international transit, so having the correct vignette before entering a tolled section is crucial to avoid fines.

Using toll roads legally in Hungary
To legally use Hungary’s motorways and expressways, your digital vignette must be valid before you enter a toll section. There are no toll booths on these roads, so you cannot pay on the spot. Instead, license plate recognition cameras automatically check every vehicle and issue fines if no active vignette is found.

Toll regulations for lorries
In Hungary, all vehicles over 3,500 kg are subject to a distance-based toll system called HU-GO. This system applies to lorries, buses, and heavy goods vehicles travelling on motorways, expressways and main roads. Unlike passenger cars, these vehicles do not use the e-vignette, but must register and pay tolls according to the distance travelled.
The Hungary truck toll is calculated per kilometre and depends on several key factors:
Vehicle category (number of axles: J2, J3, J4, J5)
Road type (motorway, expressway, or main road)
Emission class (EURO rating)
Total distance travelled
Toll payments are managed through the HU-GO electronic toll system, operated by the National Toll Payment Services Plc. Registered users can install an On-Board Unit (OBU) that automatically records their journeys and deducts tolls from a prepaid account. Occasional users can choose a route ticket, purchased before starting their trip, valid for a specific route and vehicle.
From 1 February 2025, route tickets are valid for 120 minutes from the moment of purchase. Missing this window or driving without a valid HU-GO registration can result in heavy fines, often exceeding 280,000 HUF depending on the violation.
Enforcement is fully automated through camera surveillance, mobile control units, and roadside checks. Each vehicle’s license plate is cross-checked in real time to ensure compliance with the Hungarian toll regulations.
Frequently asked questions about the Hungarian vignette
Yes. All passenger cars, motorcycles and light vehicles up to 3,500 kg require a valid Hungary vignette (e-matrica) to use the country’s motorways and expressways. Without one, your trip will be considered unauthorised road use, which can lead to fines. Vehicles above 3,500 kg use the HU-GO system instead.
Vignettes are mandatory on all motorways and expressways marked with M, such as M1, M3, M5, M6 and M7. These connect Hungary with Austria, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia and Serbia. Enforcement is camera-based, so there are no toll booths.
The fastest and safest way to buy your Hungary vignette online is through an official sales platform, like e-Autópálya-matrica.hu. Simply enter your license plate, choose the validity period, select your vehicle category, and pay securely by card or PayPal. Your Hungarian e-vignette is activated instantly and sent by email.
Yes. The digital vignette is fully electronic and registered to your vehicle’s license plate. There is no physical sticker. Cameras automatically verify license plates to ensure compliance across all toll roads in Hungary.
If you drive a D2 vehicle (minibus or large car) with a trailer up to 3,500 kg, you need an additional U-category vignette for the trailer. For D1 vehicles (cars up to 7 seats), the trailer is already included in the main vignette.
If you drive on a toll road in Hungary without a valid Hungary vignette, you risk a fine of up to 60,000 HUF for passenger cars and higher amounts for larger vehicles. However, if you purchase a valid vignette within 60 minutes after entering the motorway, the penalty is waived. This is known as the official grace period.
Yes, you can pay the Hungarian digital toll at most petrol stations, border crossings and official sales outlets. However, petrol stations are often busy and time-consuming. Paying your toll online through an official sales platform (e.g. e-Autópálya-matrica.hu) is much faster, safer, and available 24/7.
Once activated, a Hungary vignette cannot be cancelled, changed or refunded. If you made a mistake (e.g. wrong plate or start date), contact the National Toll Payment Services Plc. immediately. They may correct errors before activation.
No. Lorries and buses over 3,500 kg use the HU-GO electronic toll system, a distance-based charging method. The toll depends on distance, vehicle type, number of axles and emission class. These vehicles must register and pay via HU-GO.hu.
Vignettes in neighbouring countries of Hungary
Several neighbouring countries of Hungary also require a vignette or toll payment for using their motorways and expressways. Each country has its own toll system to finance and maintain road infrastructure, so make sure you have the correct vignette or toll registration before crossing the border:
