A favourite holiday and transit destination, Hungary has a well-developed road network.
There are two toll systems in the country in which all vehicles are subject to tolls for motorways and major roads.
Using the vignette system, all vehicles ≤ 3.5 t and buses meet toll obligations by registering in the toll operator's system. All vignettes are electronic.
For heavy transport vehicles with a designated total weight of > 3.5 t, tolls are collected via the electronic, route-based HU-GO toll system. UTA customers have the option of managing the toll via the on-board unit (UTA One® or HU-GO OBU), or by booking a route ticket.

The Hungarian toll system
How tolls are collected
The Hungarian toll for heavy goods vehicles is collected through an electronic, route-based toll system called HU-GO. Tolls are collected on all motorways and major roads. The Hungarian toll system is a free-flow system with no toll booths dividing the roads. A route ticket is booked through a prepay process, and deviations from the booked route are not permitted. With an OBU, however, you can enjoy flexibility -- even at the last minute! Either UTA One® can be used, or a HU-GO OBU obtained through UTA Edenred and charged. Regardless of the option you choose, you'll receive an invoice for your toll charges with a convenient payment date.
Checks are performed through stationary overhead gantries and mobile control vehicles. Please ensure that information about your vehicle is up-to-date and correct, because Hungary is quick to charge fines for incorrectly booked or unauthorised route use!
The toll system in Hungary
HU-GO:
Electronic collection of tolls in an open, free-flow system. The toll rate is based on the type of road, vehicle category and emissions class. The system can be used via UTA One®, a HU-GO OBU, or by booking a route ticket (online or in person at sales points throughout the country).
Vignette system:
This system features electronic settlement of tolls. The toll rate depends on your travel duration and vehicle category. Limited use of roads requiring a vignette is possible through the "annual regional" vignette.
