Hungary County Vignette Options - Regional E-Vignette Guide

Hungary county vignette guide for regional travel. Cost-effective annual county vignettes vs national options for specific area usage.

Understanding County Vignettes in Hungary

The County Vignette is a regional option available in Hungary, valid only within a specific county. This is a more affordable option primarily for those who plan to stay within a single county. However, if you intend to travel beyond one county, the nationwide annual vignette is necessary to avoid penalties.


County vignettes offer significant savings for regional travelers

Frequently Asked Questions About County Vignettes

Common questions about Hungary's regional vignette system

No, county vignettes are only valid within the specific county you select during purchase. If you need to travel in multiple counties, you would need to either purchase multiple county vignettes or opt for the national vignette, which would be more cost-effective.

County vignettes are valid up to the first exit after crossing a county border. This grace period allows you to exit the highway if you accidentally cross into another county. However, continuing to travel beyond the first exit in another county may result in penalties.

Yes, you can purchase a national vignette even if you already have a county vignette. However, the county vignette fee is typically non-refundable. It's best to determine your travel needs in advance to choose the most appropriate option.

Learn more about refund policies

County vignettes are typically available as annual options only. For short-term regional travel, you would need to purchase the corresponding short-term national vignette (10-day, monthly, etc.), as county-specific short-term options are not available.

View all vignette validity options

County vignettes are enforced through the same electronic system as national vignettes. Cameras scan license plates and verify the validity of your vignette for the specific county where you're traveling. The system automatically checks if your vignette covers the toll section you're using.
