Changes to the e-vignette system as of 1 January 2026

The relevant legislation has been published, the 2026 vignette prices are official, the M1 regional vignette and the discounted Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén regional vignette will be introduced, and the road section of motorway M6 to Ivándárda, the country border, will be tolled.

Pursuant to Decree 34/2025 (XI. 30.) ÉKM of the Minister of Construction and Transport published in the Hungarian Official Journal No. 143, the following changes will be introduced in the e-vignette system as of 2026.

The e-vignette rates valid from 1 January 2026 are now official and can be found on our website under E-vignette Rates.

The annual M1 regional e-vignette will be introduced as a completely new product, which will provide road use authorization as of 2026 to the entire toll expressway network of the following regions: Pest, Fejér, Komárom-Esztergom and Győr-Moson-Sopron. The vignette will be available to all at a much lower rate (HUF 15,000 for D1, D1M and U vehicle categories; HUF 30,000 for D2 vehicle category) than the rate of the four regional vignettes combined. With the new, discounted type of vignette the legislator intends to compensate drivers for the congestion and gridlocks during the M1 motorway expansion project.

Pursuant to the legislation, by 2026 drivers will also be able to obtain the annual regional motorway-vignette for the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén region at a reduced rate (HUF 2,500 for D1, D1M and U vehicle categories; HUF 5,000 for the D2 vehicle category), which is to compensate drivers for the hindrances and inconvenience caused by the construction works and the closure of the M30 motorway between Miskolc and Szikszó.

From 2026 on, the toll road network will also be extended, with the M6 motorway being subject to tolls for the road section up to Ivándárda, i.e. the country border, and the range of those eligible for toll exemption will also be extended to include vehicles operated by road operators of neighboring countries (including the toll section up to the first junction exit) and older vehicles as defined by the Motor Vehicle Tax Act. The exemption is not automatic, the application must be made in accordance with the legislation and renewed annually.

In addition, the amendment also clarified the conditions for the redemption of multiple authorizations in Decree 45/2020 (XI. 28.) ITM of the Minister for Innovation and Technology on motorways, speedways and main roads subject to toll payment and on the tolls payable.
