Hungarian VignettesControl of use
In Hungary, vignette checks are conducted via camera and mobile patrols.
In the HU-GO e-toll system, the National Toll Payment Services (NTPS) Plc. supports control activities using stationary control portals located along the toll road network and mobile data collection vehicles.
Toll control is conducted 24 hours a day, enabling the system to immediately determine whether a specific vehicle has a valid road use authorization.
Unauthorised road use is penalised by an administrative fine, imposed by the authority.
Hungarian VignettesFines & Surcharges
In 2024, Hungary introduced a new & more strict surcharge system where fines range from 26,640 HUF up to 91,780 HUF.
Hungarian traffic ticket fines are classified into three categories by the following amended Decrees:
- A moderate fine - if you did not commit an offence following the detection of unauthorised road use, or the offence was limited to the first two hours from the detection.
- An average fine - if you repeatedly infringed the rules between the 2nd and 4th hours following the initial detection of unauthorised road use, but the offence was not repeated after the 4th hour.
- A high fine - if you repeatedly infringed the rules between the 4th and 8th hours following the initial detection of unauthorised road use.
They are based on the principle of whether further offences were committed within the 8-hour time band following the initial detection of unauthorised road use.
Fortunately, if you purchase the wrong category of HU vignette, you will only have to pay the difference.
Remember:
If you buy an annual vignette later, you may apply to cancel previous surcharges.
