Traveling on Hungarian motorways is worth it in spring too!

With the arrival of good weather, who wouldn't crave a pleasant trip, whether it's a short getaway or a longer excursion? Hungary also blossoms in spring, with pleasant weather and numerous natural and architectural wonders attracting many tourists to the country. However, if you're traveling by car, don't forget that most of Hungary's motorways are toll roads, so it's important to be aware of some information to avoid penalties before setting off on your journey! 

Hungarian motorway vignettes

When traveling by car, it's crucial to always inform yourself in advance about road entitlements to avoid facing unfamiliar situations in the destination country. This is no different in the case of Hungary. An electronic vignette system is in place for toll payment, so it's necessary to purchase a motorway vignette for using toll roads. The easiest way to do this is online, even before your journey, on the hungary-vignette.eu website. Its greatest advantage is that the validity can be checked anytime, all data is provided by us, reducing the possibility of errors, and purchasing it does not require waiting in line. 

Daily e-vignette

In April 2024, the Hungarian daily motorway vignette was introduced, which is an excellent toll payment alternative for transiting travelers, as it allows drivers to pay only for the actual road usage. However, it's important to know that the daily vignette is NOT valid for 24 hours, but it provides entitlement for the specific day of purchase, meaning it's valid from the moment of purchase until 23:59 on the same day. In the case of advance purchase, it's valid from 0:00 to 23:59 on the specified day. Therefore, it's advisable to plan ahead to choose the appropriate validity and type of motorway vignette!
