Yettel Toll Connections FAQ

A vignette is an electronic toll pass required for using Hungarian motorways and expressways. If you plan to drive on any of Hungary's toll roads (marked with M, 1-9 numbers), you'll need a valid vignette for your vehicle.

There are different types of vignettes available depending on your vehicle category and the duration of your stay.

You can purchase Hungarian vignettes through several channels:

• Official Hungarian e-Vignette website
• Yettel mobile application
• Authorized petrol stations throughout Hungary
• Hungarian post offices
• Border crossing points

We recommend purchasing through official channels to ensure validity.

Vignette prices vary based on vehicle category and validity period:

• 10-day vignette: €10 for passenger cars
• Monthly vignette: €30 for passenger cars
• Annual vignette: €110 for passenger cars
• Different rates apply for motorcycles, vans, and other vehicle categories

Prices are subject to change, so always check current rates before purchasing.

No, vignettes are non-transferable between vehicles. Each vignette is electronically linked to the specific license plate of the vehicle for which it was purchased.

If you change vehicles, you'll need to purchase a new vignette for the new vehicle.

Activation depends on how you purchased your vignette:

• Electronic vignettes: Automatically activated at the time and date you specify during purchase
• Physical vignettes: Must be properly affixed to your windshield according to instructions

Always ensure your vignette is properly activated before using Hungarian toll roads.

Driving on Hungarian toll roads without a valid vignette can result in significant fines. If you realize you've forgotten to purchase a vignette:

1. Exit the toll road at the next opportunity
2. Purchase a vignette immediately through official channels
3. Keep proof of purchase in case you encounter enforcement

Fines for non-compliance can be substantial, so it's important to always have a valid vignette.

Yes, some roads in Hungary do not require a vignette:

• Local roads and city streets
• Certain sections of highway that have physical toll booths
• Roads marked with non-M numbers (like main roads numbered 1-86)

However, all motorways (M1, M3, M5, M6, M7, M30, M31, M35, M43, M51, M70, M85) require a vignette.

Vignette enforcement in Hungary uses:

• Automatic license plate recognition cameras at entry and exit points
• Mobile enforcement units that can check vehicles on the road
• Random checks by traffic police

The system automatically checks if your license plate has a valid vignette associated with it.

Vignettes are required for the following vehicle categories:

• Category D1: Motorcycles
• Category D2: Passenger cars (up to 3.5t)
• Category B2: Vans and light commercial vehicles
• Category C, E: Trucks and buses (these use a different electronic system)

Make sure to select the correct category when purchasing your vignette.

Yes, certain vehicles are exempt from vignette requirements:

• Emergency vehicles (police, ambulance, fire department)
• Military vehicles
• Certain agricultural vehicles
• Vehicles used by people with disabilities (with proper documentation)

Tourist buses and commercial trucks have different toll payment systems.

If you're towing a trailer or caravan:

• The towing vehicle needs its own vignette
• The trailer/caravan does not require a separate vignette
• The combined weight determines the vehicle category

Make sure your vignette category matches your vehicle's specifications, including any towed weight.

If you're experiencing technical issues with your e-vignette:

1. Keep your purchase confirmation and receipt
2. Contact the official vignette provider directly
3. If possible, avoid using toll roads until the issue is resolved
4. For immediate assistance, call the official Hungarian toll road customer service

As an independent information portal, we can guide you but cannot resolve technical issues directly.

If you received a fine despite having a valid vignette:

1. Gather all documentation (vignette purchase confirmation, vehicle registration)
2. Contact the issuing authority to contest the fine
3. Provide proof of your valid vignette
4. If the issue persists, seek assistance from official channels

Mistakes can happen in automated systems, so it's important to keep all purchase documentation.

Refund policies for vignettes vary:

• Generally, vignettes are non-refundable once activated
• Some providers may offer refunds for unactivated vignettes under specific circumstances
• Check the terms and conditions of your specific vignette provider

We recommend purchasing vignettes close to your travel date to minimize the risk of plans changing.
