Border Crossing Hungary Slovenia

The border crossings between Hungary and Slovenia represent a connecting point between two countries where cross-border traffic takes place. The border crossing therefore holds special importance for international trade and tourism.

The Border

Slovenia and Hungary share a border that stretches over 102 km and enables various border crossings, through which traffic between the two countries is significantly facilitated.

Well-Known Border Crossings

The most important border crossings include:

• Tornyiszentmiklós - Pince border crossing: the only motorway crossing between Hungary and Slovenia. Here, the Hungarian M70 turns into the Slovenian A5 motorway; the M70 requires a vignette from the state border onward.

• Rédics - Dolga vas border crossing: connects Rédics and Lenti in Hungary with the area around Lendava (Slovenia) and is an important road crossing for international traffic.

• Bajánsenye - Hodoš border crossing: a smaller road crossing that is primarily relevant for local residents and regional traffic.

Hungary

The following section gives you an overview of whether you need a vignette and whether there are certain toll-liable road sections.

Hungary: Vignette Requirement (Or Not?)

Hungary has a vignette requirement for cars, car-trailer combinations and motorhomes – and, since 1 January 2026, also for vehicles over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight (category D2). This is the so-called e-Matrica (Hungarian vignette), with which the toll is checked electronically via the license plate. You should purchase the e-vignette online before your trip, as an additional fee applies if you drive on a toll-liable route without an e-vignette (2026: HUF 27,790 if paid within 60 days, otherwise HUF 95,730).

Distance-Based Toll

You must pay the distance-based toll if your vehicle has a gross vehicle weight over 3.5 t. This means trucks and buses must pay a distance-based electronic toll, which is determined via the HU-GO system (electronic toll collection). For these vehicles, the distance-based toll thus replaces the vignette. Exception for motorhomes: as of 1 January 2026, motorhomes over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight once again require an e-vignette (category D2); HU-GO is no longer available for motorhomes since then.

Slovenia

The following section gives you an overview of whether you also need a vignette in Slovenia and whether there are certain toll-liable road sections.

Vignette Requirement (Or Not?)

If you want to use Slovenian motorways and expressways on your trip, you will 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. Further information on tolls in Slovenia can be found in our guide.

Distance-Based Toll

If your vehicle has a gross vehicle weight over 3.5 t, you will need a DarsGo transponder instead of the 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). In addition, the rate takes into account the vehicle's CO₂ emission class. This also applies to motorhomes over 3.5 t.

Special Feature of the Karawanks Tunnel (Special Toll Route)

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