Understanding the Hungarian Vignette System

A Hungarian vignette is a digital toll permit required for vehicles using the country's motorways and expressways. Known as "e-matrica" in Hungary, this electronic system has been mandatory since 2014 for driving on toll roads. The vignette serves as proof of payment for road usage and contributes to maintaining and modernizing Hungary's road network.


The Hungarian vignette system ensures that all drivers contribute to the maintenance and development of the country's highway infrastructure.

  1. Digital System
    Unlike traditional physical stickers, the Hungarian e-vignette is electronically linked to your vehicle's registration number.
  2. Electronic Enforcement
    The system uses cameras to verify vignette validity through license plate recognition technology.
  3. Multiple Validity Options
    Choose from 1-day, 10-day, monthly, or annual vignettes based on your travel needs.
