Hungarian highway vignette: D1 passenger car fee category
Most of Hungary's highways are toll roads, which can be paid for with an electronic highway vignette. The e-vignette must always be purchased before driving onto the toll road, as a network of cameras is set up to check whether the vehicle has a valid road use permit.
Depending on the type of vehicle, highway vignettes can be purchased in four different fee categories: D1, D1m, D2 and U. The most common e-vignette fee category is D1, as this is the category for passenger cars.
Vehicles in the D1 fee category
In the official entries in the vehicle registration certificate*, the letters "J "and "S.1." fields in the vehicle registration document will be used to determine the fee category to which the vehicle belongs.
The following fields and their contents must be taken into account in our registration certificate for category D1:
Field "J":
1 - The field 'J' refers to the category of the vehicle and the M1 coding covers passenger cars.
"S.1." Field:
up to 7 - The field "S.1." field indicates the number of persons the car is suitable for carrying, including the driver's seat, up to 7 persons for D1.Which vignette should I purchase?

County highway vignette
Unlike the other vignettes, the county vignette has territorial limits, as it is only valid within the county you have purchased and up to the first junction in the direction of the bordering counties. The advantage is that it can be bought at a favourable price and is valid until 31 January of the year following the year in question, so you can travel for up to 13 months for as little as HUF 7 190.
M1 Regional highway vignette
Valid from the first day of the given year until 24:00 on January 31 of the following year. It is valid for all toll sections within the counties of Pest, Fejér, Komárom-Esztergom, and Győr-Moson-Sopron.
D1- M1 regional vignette purchase
National highway vignette
It is valid until 31 January of the year following the year in question, so if you buy a vignette during a pre-purchase or in January, you can use it for up to 13 months on all toll roads in Hungary.
