Vehicle classes in Hungary
Depending on the vehicle class, your vehicle is subject either to the vignette requirement or to a distance-based toll. You can conveniently and easily order the digital vignette from us online from the comfort of your 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 more than 3.5 t GVW. However, there are also exceptions. The following vehicle types will help you decide whether you need a vignette or whether a distance-based toll applies to you:
Motorcycles
You need a vignette.
Passenger cars
For your passenger car up to 3.5 t GVW, you need a vignette.
Vehicle combinations (towing vehicle + trailer)
You must purchase a vignette if your vehicle combination does not exceed 3.5 t GVW. As soon as your vehicle weighs more than 3.5 t GVW, you must pay a distance-based / mileage-based toll.
Motorhomes
Motorhomes up to 3.5 t GVW are subject to the vignette requirement. Motorhomes over 3.5 t GVW must pay a distance-based toll.
Trucks
Trucks over 3.5 t GVW must pay a distance-based toll.
