The one-day motorway vignette is coming to Hungary

There will definitely be a one-day motorway vignette in Hungary. The Hungarian government will decide on the details later, but you can already calculate how much this huge change could cost motorists.

New one-day motorway vignette in Hungary

The Hungarian government will in fact introduce a one-day motorway vignette next year, the Ministry of Construction and Transport told Világgazdaság.

According to the ministry, the deadline for the introduction of the new measure is 25 March 2024. This date is set by the Eurovignette directive of the European Parliament and the Council. It is not yet known when we will see these new vignettes in the Hungarian toll system.

“At the moment, no decision has been taken on the price of the one-day pass, nor on the exact date of its domestic introduction,” said the ERM.

When and how much will it be available?

Next March is the latest deadline. Until then, it is unlikely that EU Member States will use it, as it goes against the interests of their public finances. The one-day entitlement creates a loss of revenue for countries’ toll systems by offering a cheaper toll product instead of a more expensive one.
