E-VIGNETTE USER GUIDE - National Toll Payment Services PLC

E-VIGNETTE
USER GUIDE
2015
E-VIGNETTE ROAD USE PERMITS
The e-vignette user charge system applies to motorcycles, automobiles and their trailers, and
cargo vehicles, campers and buses with a maximum permissible gross weight of 3.5 tons and
their trailers.
These vehicles are authorized to use Hungarian toll roads exclusively with pre-purchased road use
authorizations (purchased before entering the expressways subject to toll payment), i.e. e-vignettes.
The rate of the toll depends on the category of the motor vehicle. The toll category of the vehicles
depends on their seat capacity and maximum permissible gross weight. The toll category must be
established on the basis of the official entry that appears in the vehicle registration certificate.
Material changes from previous years have been introduced in the toll decree with respect to
the toll-free sections and toll categories; therefore we request that you study the information in
detail. For further details, please visit the www.toll-charge.hu web site, where you find maps of the toll
expressway network usable with the e-vignette. For additional information, please call our Call Center
at +36 (36) 587-500.
TOLL-FREE SECTIONS
The majority of the previously toll-free sections of the road network will become subject to toll
payment!
From 1 January 2015 the following road sections can be used toll free:
• the entire length of the M31 motorway
• the following sections of the M0 highway:
◦◦ the section between Main Route 1 and the M5 motorway
◦◦ the section between M4 highway (Main Route 4) and M3
◦◦ Megyeri Bridge (the section between Main Route 11 and Main Route 2)
The remaining sections of M0, and, in addition to the access and exit sections of the expressways
within the beltway, the currently toll-free city bypass roads and highways will also lose their toll-free
status and shall be used with a valid e-vignette after the new regulations take effect.
TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
In case of unauthorized road use established between 1 January 2015 and 31 January 2015,
retrospective waiver of the levied fine can be granted if the person subjected to the penalty payment
purchases before 1 March 2015 an annual regional or annual national road use permit relevant to
the location of the unauthorized road use, after also having paid the penalty at one of the Customer
Service Offices of the National Toll Payment Services Plc.

VALIDITY PERIODS OF E-VIGNETTES
Weekly authorization: valid on the starting date designated by the purchaser and 9 consecutive
day, for 10 consecutive calendar days in total until midnight of the 10th day.
Monthly authorization: valid from the starting day designated by the purchaser until midnight of the
day of the same number in the following month. If there is no such day, then to midnight of the last
day of the month.
Annual authorization: valid from the first day of the calendar year to midnight on 31 January of the
following year (a total of 13 months if the purchase took place on 1 January of the relevant year).
The annual vignette ensures road use authorization from the time of purchase and is not valid
retroactively.
REGIONAL E-VIGNETTE
In addition to the usual time-based vignettes (weekly/10-day, monthly, annual), a new, territorybased e-vignette type will become available for vehicles in Categories D1M, D1, D2, U and B2, with
which the toll road networks of one or more counties can be used. More than one regional vignette
can be used for the same vehicle. The validity period of this e-vignette type will be the same as the
validity period of the annual authorization.
Annual vignettes for the following counties can be purchased (which have toll expressway
networks)
Bács-Kiskun County, Baranya County, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, Csongrád County, Fejér County,
Győr-Moson-Sopron County, Hajdú-Bihar County, Heves County, Komárom-Esztergom County, Pest
County, Somogy County, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, Tolna County, Vas County, Veszprém County,
Zala County
IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT E-VIGNETTES
Tolls must be paid before entering the relevant expressway toll sections! E-vignette purchases
cannot be applied with retroactive validity. In the case of a purchase within the required validity
period the starting date of validity is the date of purchase.
If you purchase more than one vignette at a time, please make sure that you have specified the time
of your journeys (road use) precisely.
UNAUTHORIZED ROAD USE
Driving without valid road-use authorization on a road section subject to e-vignette toll qualifies as
unauthorized road use, which entails penalty payment in each of the toll categories regulated above.
Road use is also considered unauthorized
•if the road usage authorization was purchased for the wrong category; i.e. an additional
trailer is towed with a Category B2 authorization (instead of B2+U), or Category D1 ticket
was purchased for a car for 8 or more persons instead of category D2;
•if the registration number and/or country code indicated on the counterfoil or in the
confirmation message is not identical with the actual registration number and country code
of the vehicle;
•if you have an annual authorization for a given county but use the toll road network of
another county.
In the case of electronic purchase, the confirmation message serves as a proof of purchase.
In order to avoid unauthorized road use, please always check the following on your counterfoil when
you make your purchase: registration number, country code, vehicle category, validity period.
