Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hungary e-vignette validity periods

The validity of your Hungary e-vignette begins immediately upon purchase unless you specify a future start date. The system uses Hungarian time zone (UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer) to determine start and end dates.

Once purchased, the validity period of an e-vignette cannot be changed. However, you can purchase additional vignettes with different validity periods if your travel plans change. Always select the appropriate duration at the time of purchase.

Driving with an expired vignette may result in significant fines. The system uses cameras to verify validity automatically. It's essential to renew your vignette before it expires or purchase a new one with appropriate validity period to avoid penalties.
