Hungary is a popular destination for tourists and transit travelers alike, offering a fast and efficient motorway network.
To use Hungarian motorways and expressways, a valid e-vignette (e-Matrica) is required for most vehicles.

Who needs an e-vignette?
- Motorcycles do not require a motorway vignette.
- If the total weight of your vehicle combination (car + trailer) does not exceed 3.5 t, only one vignette is required – for the towing vehicle.
- If the combination exceeds 3.5 t, a vignette is required for both the car and the trailer.
- For example, if you are towing a heavier caravan or a boat trailer, we recommend checking the total weight of the combination – otherwise you risk a fine.
Where is the Hungarian motorway vignette required?
The vignette is required on most sections of motorways and expressways designated as:
- A0: Bucharest Ringroad
- A1: Bucharest - Nadlac
- A2: Bucharest - Constanta
- A3: Bucharest - Bors (and A4 - A14)
All toll sections are marked with the appropriate road signs.
What not to forget!
In addition to the Hungarian motorway vignette (e-vignette), we recommend checking the mandatory vehicle equipment.
In Hungary it is mandatory to have:
- a reflective vest for each passenger,
- a warning triangle,
- a first aid kit,
- spare wheel or tire repair kit
- It is mandatory to keep the headlights on throughout the day.
There are many speed cameras and inspections on Slovak roads – and also high fines for driving without a valid vignette, which can exceed €300. That’s why we recommend arranging everything in advance and travelling with peace of mind.

If you travel to the mountains or during winter, winter equipment may be useful, although it is not mandatory on all sections.
