Vehicle Classes Hungary
Depending on the vehicle class, your vehicle is subject to vignette obligation or distance-based toll. You can order the digital vignette from us conveniently and easily from home! First, however, we would like to show you which vehicle classes require a vignette.
Do you need a vignette?
In Hungary, vehicles up to 3.5 t GVW require a (digital) vignette. A distance-based toll must be paid if your vehicle weighs over 3.5 t GVW. However, there are also exceptions. The following vehicle types will help you decide whether you need a vignette or whether the distance-based toll applies to you:
Motorcycles
You need a vignette.
Cars
For your car up to 3.5 t GVW, you need a vignette.
Combinations (towing vehicle + trailer)
You must purchase a vignette if your combination does not exceed 3.5 t GVW. As soon as your vehicle is over 3.5 t GVW, you must pay a distance-based/distance-dependent toll.
Motorhomes
Since 1 January 2026, motorhomes have been subject to the vignette obligation regardless of their gross vehicle weight – the distance-based toll via HU-GO, previously available, is no longer available for motorhomes since then. Motorhomes up to 3.5 t GVW with up to 7 seats fall into vehicle class D1, all other motorhomes (over 3.5 t GVW or with more than 7 seats) fall into vehicle class D2.
Trucks
Trucks over 3.5 t GVW must pay a distance-based toll.
