1. Toll road
A toll road is a road, motorway, bridge, tunnel or other route for which users must pay a charge. The toll may apply to all vehicles or only to particular vehicle categories, and the amount can depend on factors such as distance travelled, vehicle type, weight or emissions.
Tolls may be collected at toll booths, electronically or through a vignette or distance-based charging system. Drivers should check the applicable payment rules before using a toll road, especially when travelling in another country.
Which road-charging system should I check in Hungary?
Hungary uses e-vignettes for qualifying vehicle categories on its charged expressway network. A different distance-based system applies to specified heavier vehicles, and vignette products can have different territorial coverage.
What should I check before using a charged road in Hungary?
Check the registration number, registration country, vehicle category, validity and national or regional coverage. A regional or county product does not automatically cover every charged road in Hungary.
Does the absence of a toll booth prove that a road is free in Hungary?
The absence of a payment booth is not proof that a charged road is free. A vignette, electronic account, vehicle-registration record or another payment procedure may be used where the actual scheme provides for it. Follow the responsible authority or operator’s instructions for that road.
