Validity and Use
All Hungarian toll freeways and expressways marked with an M are subject to tolls. in Hungary all motor vehicles up to and including 3.5t are subject to a toll sticker (e-vignette). Passenger cars with more than 7 seats are subject to higher tolls. The same applies to towing vehicles such as trucks and motor homes. Only certain routes can be used free of charge (e.g. the entire section of the M31 freeway). The Hungarian vignette, the e-Matrica, controls the toll online via the vehicle license plate. The price category is determined according to the official entry in the registration certificate. The vignette receipt must be kept for three years for evidence purposes in case of later complaints. We recommend that you obtain the e-vignette in good time before driving on toll roads.
