Buy your electronic vignette through the official Hungarian e-Vignette portal, Yettel mobile app, or other authorized online sellers. You'll need your vehicle's license plate number and the dates you plan to travel.
Important: Double-check your license plate number before completing the purchase. Mistakes can result in an invalid vignette.
Select when you want your vignette to become active. You can choose:

Important notes:
Always verify your license plate number, dates, and vehicle category before finalizing your purchase. Errors can result in fines.
Keep your e-vignette confirmation email or screenshot readily available on your phone during your trip in case verification is needed.
For e-vignettes, schedule activation to start when you enter Hungary, not before. This maximizes your validity period.
10-day vignettes are valid for 10 consecutive days (not calendar days), starting from activation time. Monthly and annual passes follow calendar months/years.
Failure to properly activate your vignette can result in significant fines. Please note:
When in doubt, verify your vignette status before using Hungarian toll roads.
