Practical Advice Corner
Essential quick tips to ensure a smooth and fine-free journey through Hungary.
Emergency Number is 112
Dial 112 for police, ambulance, or fire services anywhere in Hungary. Operators typically speak English.
Keep Digital Receipt for 2 Years
Retain your e-vignette confirmation. Fines can be issued months later, and this is your only proof of payment.
60-Minute Grace Period
If you accidentally enter a toll road, you have exactly 60 minutes to purchase a vignette to avoid a penalty.
Verify Vehicle Category
Ensure you choose the correct category (D1 for standard cars, D2 for vans/7-seaters). Mistakes result in fines.
Speed Limits Apply Strictly
Motorways: 130 km/h. Rural roads: 90 km/h. Urban areas: 50 km/h. Speed cameras are frequent and automated.
Double-Check License Plate
One wrong character means no valid vignette. Verify your plate number and country code before paying.
Border Wait Times
Check live border traffic before departure. Major crossings like Röszke can have multi-hour delays in summer.
