These vignettes are required for travelling on Hungary’s tolled motorways and expressways. Without a valid e-vignette, drivers risk significant fines under the country’s toll system.

Where to Buy

You can purchase your Hungarian motorway vignette:

• Online at the official toll portal: the National Toll Payment Service website (nemzetiutdij.hu) offers direct, secure e-vignette sales.  

• From authorised online resellers: sites such as Autovignet or Tollhopper allow payment by card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with instant confirmation.  

• In person: vignettes can also be bought at many border crossings, petrol stations, and retail kiosks before entering toll roads.  
   

Motorists must buy the e-vignette before entering paid sections of motorways and expressways — retroactive purchases aren’t accepted.

Prices vary by vehicle category — e.g., larger cars and vans (D2) pay higher rates — and different resellers may list both forint and euro prices.

Validity and Enforcement

Once purchased online or at a point of sale, the e-vignette is linked electronically to the vehicle’s licence plate — no physical sticker is required. Enforcement is handled via automatic licence plate recognition on the motorway network. 

Drivers should ensure they hold a valid vignette before entering toll roads; failure to do so can result in hefty fines.

Hungary uses automatic licence plate recognition on toll roads. Driving without a valid vignette may lead to fines ranging from 18,600 HUF (€49) to 74,400 HUF (€198) depending on the situation.
