Depending on your vehicle class, your vehicle is subject to either the vignette requirement or the distance-based toll. You can order the digital vignette conveniently and easily from home with us! But first, 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 gross vehicle weight require a (digital) vignette. A distance-based toll must be paid if your vehicle weighs over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight. 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 gross vehicle weight, you need a vignette.

Combinations (towing vehicle + trailer)

You must purchase a vignette if your combination does not exceed 3.5 t gross vehicle weight. As soon as your vehicle exceeds 3.5 t gross vehicle weight, you must pay a distance-based toll.

Motorhomes

Since 1 January 2026, motorhomes have been subject to the vignette requirement regardless of their permissible gross weight – the previously available distance-based toll via HU-GO is no longer available for motorhomes since then. Motorhomes up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight with up to 7 seats fall into vehicle class D1, while all other motorhomes (over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight or with more than 7 seats) fall into vehicle class D2.

Trucks

Trucks over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight must pay a distance-based toll.
