Important things to know

Before you leave

In accordance with the legal regulations in effect, the e-vignette must always be purchased for the toll section of the road before driving onto it (practically, this means before travel). Retroactively purchasing a vignette does not mean retroactive entitlement to use of the road, thus, retroactively purchased stickers are considered unauthorized road use and will result in a penalty. The 60 minute grace period is an exception. This means that if within 60 minutes of the time road use began, a vignette is purchased, the user will be exempt from the penalty. It is important to note that precise information must be given in order to provide authorization: license plate number, country code, fee category, time of validity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I have got a fine?

The most common cases for a fine are: a number plate, wrong category classification, or choosing the wrong country code. Most likely, a number plate or country code has been misspelled, or you may have run out of time. Please contact one of the customer service offices of the National Toll Payment Services Plc. with the customer copy. If you have lost your customer copy, contact the office where you bought your vignette.


What currencies can I use for payment?

All our locations offer cash and credit card payment in all currencies accepted at the particular location. In Hegyeshalom, Rajka we can offer our customers Forint and Euro payments, and in our offices in Nagykerek and Tornyosnémeti the above mentioned options are complemented by Romanian Lei and Polish Zloty options.


How can I pay with a foreign credit or debit card?

You can pay with a foreign-issued credit or debit card at all locations throughout the country, but only in EUR, RON or PLN.


Can I request an invoice?

Yes, it is possible to request an invoice at all locations, please inform the sales representative before starting the transaction.


I did not ask for an invoice in time and my accountant asks for one, what is the solution?

The mandatory data provision to the NTCA does not allow the invoice to be issued retrospectively.


Which road sections are subject to tolls?

The complete list of road sections subject to tolls from 18 February 2022 is set out in Annex 1 of Decree No. 45/2020 (XI.28.) of the Ministry for Innovation and Technology.


How can you tell from your registration certificate which toll category your vehicle falls into and what to look out for on the day of purchase?

To avoid typical user confusion, one of the things to look out for when making a purchase is to make sure that you buy the right vignette for the right toll category. The toll category can be determined on the basis of the official entries in the registration certificate (fields J, F.1 and S.1). The D1 category includes passenger cars (and their trailers) with a maximum permissible gross laden weight of up to 3.5 t and a maximum capacity of 7 persons, and with the code “M1” or “M1G” in box “J” of the registration certificate.


Can I use my American Express (Amex) card to pay for my road use authorisation?

From 1 January 2022, aPlus Consulting Kft. will no longer accept American Express (Amex) cards. Types of credit or debit cards accepted by our company: Master Card, Maestro, Visa, VisaElectron, V-PAY and JCB.


When do I need to purchase the e-vignette?

The toll road sections can only be used if you have a valid road use authorisation, i.e. you must obtain the appropriate motorway vignette before driving on them. For purchases within the validity period, the start of validity is always the time of purchase (day/hour/minute). Bona fide road users who have mistakenly driven onto the toll road network have up to 60 minutes from the moment they drive onto the toll road to purchase their road use authorisation.


How long do I need to keep the control slip / confirmation notice?

Toll road sections may only be used with valid road-use authorization, meaning that the appropriate e-vignette must be purchased before entering the toll section. When purchased within the validity period, the vignette becomes valid from the exact moment of purchase (day/hour/minute/second). Good-faith road users who enter the toll road network by mistake have a maximum of 60 minutes from the time of entry to purchase the required authorization.


How can I check if I have a valid vignette if I cannot find the slip?

The control slip or confirmation received after purchase must be kept for 3 years from the last day of validity of the e-vignette.


Why does the system allow the purchase of several vignettes for one number plate?

You can check the current validity of your e-vignette through our online verification platform: https://nemzetiutdij.hu/hu/e-matrica-lekerdezo


For which vehicle types can a county vignette be purchased?

The regional vignette is available in D1, D2, B2 and U tariff categories.


Is there a regional vignette for motorcycles?

The county e-vignette is available in toll categories D1, D2, and U.


Do I need to pay separately for a trailer towed by a passenger car?

If the vehicle belongs to the D1 toll category, you do not need to obtain a separate vignette for the towed trailer. From the beginning of 2019, the authorisation for trailers (U category) of vehicles in the D2 or B2 fee category can also be purchased according to the registration number of the towing vehicle (in addition to the D2 or B2 authorisation). The provision makes it easier for motorists to drive any type of trailer with a U-category e-vignette purchased for the towing vehicle.


If only 7 people are seated in a 9-seater vehicle, is a D2 entitlement still required?

If the vehicle belongs to toll category D1, no separate e-vignette is required for the trailer. For vehicles in category D2, starting from early 2019, the trailer toll entitlement (U category) can be purchased for the licence plate of the towing vehicle (in addition to the D2 entitlement). This provides convenience for drivers, as the U-category vignette purchased for the towing vehicle allows them to tow any type of trailer.


I tow a trailer with a 9-passenger vehicle. Which vignette should I purchase?

Yes. Classification into category D2 is not based on the actual number of passengers or the purpose of travel, but strictly on the data stated in the vehicle registration certificate.


For how long are regional and national vignettes valid?

As with the national annual vignette, the validity of the regional vignette runs from the date of purchase until midnight on 31 January of the following year. The only exception to this is for regional vignettes bought in December for the following year, as they are valid from 1 January.


What should I do if my vehicle’s licence plate contains accented characters?

If the licence plate contains an accented letter, you must enter the non-accented English equivalent when purchasing the e-vignette. For example, if the plate contains the letter Ü, you must enter U instead. Enter the licence plate without spaces!


Have any new expressway sections become toll roads in the e-vignette system as of 1 January 2025?

No, no new toll road sections have been added to the e-vignette system as of 1 January 2025.


From a Hungarian vehicle registration certificate, how can one determine the vehicle’s toll category, and what should be considered when purchasing a vignette?

To avoid common user mistakes, it is important to ensure that the e-vignette is purchased for the correct toll category. The toll category can be determined based on the official entries in the vehicle registration certificate (fields J, F.1 and S.1). In the case of motorhomes, the vehicle type information must also be taken into account. For determining the toll category of motorhomes and caravans, please refer to our category selection guide.


Can the discounted e-vignette option be used without prior notification?

No. If the driver does not request the discounted category in advance and uses the toll road network with a D1 e-vignette while the vehicle belongs to the D2 category, and later initiates registration, all prior road use under the D1 category will be considered unauthorised toll road usage and may result in a surcharge notice.


I am towing a trailer with a 9-seater vehicle. Which e-vignette do I need to purchase?

For a towing vehicle classified in category D2, in addition to the D2 entitlement, it is necessary to purchase the trailer entitlement (U category). Since early 2019, this entitlement can be purchased not only for the trailer but also for the licence plate of the towing vehicle. This regulation provides convenience for drivers, as the U-category e-vignette purchased for the towing vehicle allows them to tow any type of trailer.


Yes. As of 1 January 2024, under the Toll Decree, if a toll-vignette-liable vehicle tows another vehicle, road-use authorisation must be obtained separately for both vehicles in accordance with the applicable rules. This means that each vehicle must have its own appropriate e-vignette. In this context, we draw attention to the fact that under road traffic regulations, a broken-down vehicle being towed on a motorway or expressway must be taken to the nearest exit or junction as soon as possible. A separate surcharge category is introduced for towed vehicles (with the same amount as the D1 surcharge). Responsibility for paying the toll for the towed vehicle remains with the operator of the towing vehicle, meaning that in the event of a surcharge, the operator of the towing vehicle is liable to pay the fee due for the towed vehicle.


What happens if, during an on-site mobile inspection, it is found that I do not have a valid e-vignette?

In this case, the 60-minute rule also applies. If 60 minutes have not yet passed since entering the toll road network, the valid entitlement must be purchased on-site from the mobile inspection personnel.


What should I do if I am driving on a toll-free road and, due to a road closure, I am diverted onto a toll road?

During a road closure, traffic restriction or diversion, if vehicles without a valid e-vignette are directed onto a toll section designated as a detour route by the competent authorities (primarily the road operator or police), they may use the toll section – unless otherwise instructed – only from the point where they enter the toll road until the first available junction. If that junction is closed, they may continue to the next open junction. In such cases, no surcharge may be imposed. The authority ordering the closure or diversion informs road users via media channels. If, without a designated detour, a legally authorised traffic management body directs vehicles onto a toll road, the designated toll section may be used without an e-vignette and without a surcharge. Accordingly, during a diversion caused by a road closure or restriction, no toll payment is required, provided the toll section is exited at the next junction.
