e-matrica — Macaristan 🇭🇺

Every vehicle up to 3.5 t — cars, campervans up to 3.5 t and motorcycles. It is required on all tolled motorways and expressways (M roads) in Hungary. The obligation applies from the first slip road, even in pure transit.

• Transit counts — even for an hour
• Trailers need no vignette of their own
• Rental cars: the vignette is tied to the plate, not the person

It is required on all tolled motorways and expressways (M roads) in Hungary. Some ring sections around Budapest are toll-free. Besides the national vignette there are county vignettes for single regions.

Since 2008 the vignette is registered electronically for the plate. Nothing to stick, nothing to print — the email confirmation with the registration number is your proof.

From the start date you choose when ordering — even the same day. We register the vignette with the operator and send the confirmation usually within 15 minutes. Order before the border, not on the motorway.

Checks are automatic by camera and by mobile teams. Without a valid e-matrica a surcharge is due that is far above the vignette price and increases if paid late.

Most problems arise before the purchase:

• A typo in the plate — the vignette is valid only for exactly that plate
• Wrong country of registration selected
• Driving on without a vignette, planning to buy “later”
• Assuming special toll sections or tunnels are included

D1: cars up to 3.5 t with at most 7 seats. D1M: motorcycles. D2: vehicles with more than 7 seats, campervans and vans up to 3.5 t. U: trailers behind D2 vehicles. The registration document decides — a seven-seater SUV is D2, not D1. The wrong category counts as no vignette at a check.

If you enter the motorway without a vignette, you have 60 minutes from the first camera to buy one. It applies to the first entry and is not a payment deferral: exit and re-enter and the surcharge is due. Order before the border — Nickelsdorf/Hegyeshalom, Rajka, Nădlac, Röszke, Letenye.
