Vehicle Classes Hungary

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)

For a combination, the vignette depends on the towing vehicle: The vignette of a category D1 car also covers the trailer or caravan. Behind a category D2 vehicle, you additionally need the vignette U for the trailer. The distance-based toll HU-GO only applies to trucks and buses over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight.

Motorhomes

Since 1 January 2026, motorhomes have been subject to the vignette requirement regardless of their gross vehicle weight – the distance-based toll via HU-GO, which was previously possible, 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, 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.
