Border Crossing Hungary Slovenia

The border crossings between Hungary and Slovenia are connecting points between two countries where cross-border traffic takes place. Therefore, the border crossing is of particular importance for international trade and tourism.

The border

Slovenia and Hungary share a border that stretches for over 120 km and enables various border crossings, which significantly facilitate traffic between the two countries.

Well-known border crossings

The most important border crossings include:

• Dolga Vas – Letenye border crossing: connects the Slovenian town of Dolga Vas with the Hungarian town of Letenye and is also located near the Slovenian–Hungarian motorway A4/E65

• Razkrizje – Heviz border crossing: connects the Slovenian town of Razkrizje and the Hungarian town of Heviz (Heviz is known for its thermal baths)

• Gederovci – Rédics border crossing: connects Maribor (Slovenia) with Nagykanizsa (Hungary) via the Slovenian town of Gederovci to the Hungarian town of Rédics. This border crossing is considered an important crossing for international traffic

• Selo – Mursko Središće border crossing: connects the Slovenian village of Selo with the Hungarian town of Mursko Središće and is located on the road along the Mur River. Although this border crossing is less well known, it plays a major role for local residents and regional traffic.

Hungary

The following section provides you with an overview of whether you need a vignette and whether there are specific toll road sections.

Hungary: Vignette requirement (or not?)

In Hungary, a vignette is required for passenger cars, vehicle combinations and motorhomes up to 3.5 t GVW. This is the so-called e-Matrica (Hungarian vignette), where the toll is checked electronically via the licence plate. You should purchase the e-vignette online before your trip, because if you drive on a toll road without a vignette, you may face fines.

Distance-based toll

You must pay the distance-based toll if your vehicle weighs more than 3.5 t GVW. This means motorhomes, buses and trucks have had to pay a distance-based electronic toll since January 2024, which is calculated via the HU-GO system (electronic toll collection). This means the distance-based toll replaces the vignette, so you no longer need one.

Slovenia

The following section provides you with an overview of whether you also need a vignette in Slovenia and whether there are specific toll road sections.

Vignette requirement (or not?)

If you want to use Slovenian motorways and expressways during your trip, you need an electronic vignette, the so-called E-Vinjeta. In addition, extra fees apply on certain routes, so-called special toll routes such as the Karawanks Tunnel. You can find more information about tolls in Slovenia in our guide.

Distance-based toll

If your vehicle weighs more than 3.5 t GVW, you need a DarsGo on-board unit instead of a vignette to collect the distance-based toll. This distance-based toll is calculated based on the kilometres driven, the number of axles and the Euro emission class (level of pollutant emissions). The Euro emission class is divided into emission classes 1–6. Emission class 1 stands for high emissions, while emission class 6 represents low emissions.

Special feature of the Karawanks Tunnel (special toll route)

Even though the Karawanks Tunnel itself is not a vignette-required road section, it is reached via roads that do require a vignette. The tunnel connects Austria with Slovenia and is mainly used to cross this border. So if you are travelling from Austria to Slovenia and want to use the Karawanks Tunnel, please note this special toll route and obtain a digital vignette for the access roads to the tunnel.
