Increasing prices but easing rigour on Hungarian motorways
Change language:
According to a law amendment that was approved by Parliament during the summer, increase in road toll prices depends on inflation. The price of the Hungarian national motorway toll vignettes has not changed since 2012, so the increase was only a matter of time.
According to the new decree, from 2021, the price of the motorway toll vignettes will be increased by the rate of inflation. As Autó Pult reported based on KSH’s data, the consumer price index in August this year increased by 3.9%.
The categories, however, are still the same. Passenger cars with a maximum of seven seats can be included in category D1. Passenger cars with eight or nine seats fall into category D2, even if they qualify as passenger cars. Trucks weighing less than 3.5 tons and motor caravans also need category D2 vignettes.
The yearly vignette prices are similar to both D1 and D2 category vehicles, but in the case of weekly, monthly, and regional passes, category D2 vignettes cost twice as much as category D1 vignettes.
Here are the increased prices of the most popular toll vignettes to be expected from next year:
