The most important information

To use the motorways and expressways in Hungary, you need a digital vignette. You can purchase the vignette quickly and easily via our booking portal. Popular destinations for motorhome travelers are Budapest, the thermal region around Hévíz and Lake Balaton.

In Hungary, the use of motorways and expressways is regulated by the digital vignette. This is directly linked to your vehicle's license plate. Once you have purchased the appropriate vignette, the motorhome toll in Hungary is checked automatically. Without a valid vignette, you risk heavy fines. It is best to buy your vignette in advance from the comfort of your own home. Toll roads are clearly marked. At the entrances, you will find signs with a "D" and the addition "Matrica".
