Which Hungarian highway vignette should you buy?
In Hungary, highway tolls on most road sections, so you need to purchase a highway vignette to use them. Here are some details on
- Daily vignette: if you are only arriving on Sunday, the day of the race, and travelling home on the same day, a one-day vignette is the best choice for a short stay. It is valid from the moment of purchase until 23:59 on the day of purchase, or from 0.00 to 23:59 on the day of purchase if purchased in advance, and gives you use of all highways in the country for the duration of your stay.
Important! A daily vignette is valid until 23:59 on the day of purchase, but not after midnight, so if you do not leave the highway before midnight, it is worth buying a weekly vignette, as it is cheaper than two daily vignettes.
- Weekly vignette: It is valid for the designated start and 9 additional days, for a total of 10 consecutive calendar days, and gives you access to all highways in the country.
- Monthly vignette: if you are staying in the country for a while after the competition or travelling on and returning after 10 days, the monthly vignette is the ideal choice. This vignette gives you unlimited highway use for a whole month, so you can explore Hungary at your leisure.
