Validity of the One-Day Highway Vignette

  • Geographical Validity: Valid on all toll sections in Hungary.
  • Temporal Validity: The daily vignette provides entitlement for the current calendar day, meaning it is only valid on the specific day of purchase.
  1. If validity is calculated from the time of purchase: It is valid until 11:59 PM on the same calendar day.

When purchasing a daily vignette for the current day, it will be valid from the time of purchase until 11:59PM on that same day, but not retroactively for the entire day. For example, if you purchase a daily vignette on September 14 at 1:26PM, it will be valid until midnight on that same day.

  1. Thus, if you purchase a daily vignette for a future date, it will be valid from 12:00AM to 11:59PM on the chosen calendar day!

If a future date is chosen: It will be valid from 12:00AM to 11:59PM on the selected calendar day. For instance, if you purchase a daily vignette on September 14 for October 4, it will be valid from 12:00AM to 11:59 PM on October 4.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Daily Highway Vignette

Similar to other European countries, the daily vignette in Hungary does not provide road usage rights for 24 hours but has validity only for the current calendar day. Therefore, if you plan to use toll roads beyond midnight after purchasing a one-day vignette, it may be worth considering a vignette with a longer validity period (e.g., a 10-day vignette).
