The table also shows that from 1st February 2024, the toll payment system for coaches will change. Next year, coaches will no longer be eligible for annual e-vignettes, and will be able to use a kilometre-based, pay-per-use toll system on Hungary's highways, expressways and main roads.
One-day vignette soon
The one-day highway vignette is not yet due in January, but will be available in Hungary from March, and is expected to cost HUF 5,150 for the D1 category. This type of vignette may be useful for transit passengers or if you have driven onto a toll road by mistake and would like to buy a vignette to avoid a fine.
