When does it activate?

What if you're caught?

  1. 1.ANPR camera or roadside control checks the plate.
  2. 2.The operator issues a substitute toll notice (potdij).
  3. 3.Unpaid cases can escalate to a higher administrative fine.

FAQ

Does the 1-day Hungary vignette mean 24 hours of driving?
No. It ends at `23:59` on the purchase day, so a purchase made in the evening covers only the remaining hours until midnight.
Do motorcycles need a vignette in Hungary?
Yes. Motorcycles use category `D1M` for short-term products, while the annual product is priced at the same level as `D1`.
Do I need a county vignette for motorway transit across Hungary?
Usually not. County products are mainly for local or repeated driving in one area. For cross-country transit, the national 10-day or 1-month vignette is usually the practical choice.
Should I buy before reaching the motorway?
Yes. The plate must be registered before you rely on the vignette, even if the grace-period rule exists for accidental entry.
