The toll system in Hungary supports the financing, maintenance and modernisation of the national road and motorway network. It ensures that motorways, dual carriageways and important transit connections remain safe, well-developed and efficient. The Hungarian toll system combines mandatory digital vignettes for cars, motorbikes and camper vans up to 3.5 tonnes with the electronic route toll for trucks, buses and camper vans over 3.5 tonnes. The toll amount depends on vehicle class, weight, number of axles, emissions class and distance driven.

The mandatory toll encompasses all motorways and dual carriageways as well as selected main roads.

The Hungarian toll system offers a transparent, fair and modern solution for road users. Automatic registration, digital monitoring and video inspections ensure compliance with the mandatory toll and contribute to road safety. Drivers can choose from various payment methods, including online purchase, prepaid systems, card payment or direct settlement via the OBU, making the use of toll roads convenient and reliable.

In Hungary, motorways, dual carriageways and select main roads are subject to tolls, which are managed by the state-owned company National Toll Payment Services PLC (NTPS). Toll charges for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are billed via an electronic toll system depending on the route.

Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes subject to tolls

All trucks, buses and camper vans over 3.5 tonnes in gross weight are subject to tolls in Hungary. Payment is undertaken via the HU-GO system, in which distance travelled is recorded electronically. Drivers can pay the toll via an on-board unit (OBU) or by registering online and entering the route. The amount of the toll depends on the number of axles, weight, emissions class and route taken by the vehicle.

Toll-exempt vehicles

Vehicles belonging to the police, fire brigade, rescue and emergency response services and vehicles used for agricultural and forestry purposes are excluded from the toll. Trucks with particularly low emissions or alternative drives can benefit from discounts.

In Hungary, tolls for cars, motorbikes and motor homes up to 3.5 tonnes apply on motorways and dual carriageways marked with an "M". Payment takes place via a digital vignette (e-matrica), which must be purchased before using toll roads. The vignette can be purchased online, at fuel stations or at authorised sales outlets.

The digital vignette is bound to the vehicle registration number - meaning that physical vignettes are no longer required. Compliance with the mandatory toll is monitored via automatic identification identification systems. Vehicles without a valid vignette are automatically detected and fines imposed.

Vignettes are available in different periods of validity, e.g., 10 days, 1 month or 1 year so that drivers can choose the option best suited to them. The digital system offers a convenient, fast and legally secure way to use toll roads and significantly reduces waiting times at toll points.

The toll is charged differently depending on the vehicle class.

For vehicles under 3.5 tonnes

Passenger cars, motorcycles and campers up to 3.5 tonnes pay the toll in Hungary via the digital vignette (e-matrica). The vignette is tied to the vehicle registration number and can be purchased online, at fuel stations or sales outlets. You can choose between daily, weekly, monthly and annual vignettes.

Compliance with the mandatory toll is controlled via automatic registration systems. Vehicles without a valid vignette are automatically detected and violations lead to fines.

For vehicles over 3.5 tonnes

Trucks, buses and caravans over 3.5 tonnes are billed via the electronic toll system (OBU). The OBU automatically records the distance driven and calculates the toll based on the number of axles, weight, emissions class and road category of the vehicle.

Registration takes place online or at authorised sales outlets. Payment can be made flexibly via prepaid accounts or via the toll device. The electronic system ensures accurate, transparent and fair billing for all heavy-duty vehicles and supports the CO₂-differentiated toll, which means that climate-friendly vehicles benefit from discounts.
