Travel through Hungary with UTA Edenred

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. 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.

We'd be happy to discuss the advantages of using UTA Edenred for your Hungarian travel!

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.
