In Hungary, using motorways and expressways is regulated by the digital vignette. It is directly linked to your vehicle’s license plate. Once you have purchased the correct vignette, checks for motorhome tolls in Hungary are carried out automatically. Driving without a valid vignette can result in high fines. It’s best to buy your vignette in advance from the comfort of your home. Toll roads are clearly signposted: at the entrances you will find signs showing a “D” and the word “Matrica”.
