E-VIGNETTE USER GUIDE 2016 E-VIGNETTE ROAD USE AUTHORIZATION The e-vignette user charge system applies to motorcycles, passenger cars and their trailers, as well as cargo vehicles with a maximum permissible gross weight of 3.5 tons, campers and buses, and their trailers. These vehicles are authorized to use the Hungarian toll speedway network’s roads exclusively with pre-purchased – purchased prior to entering a toll speedway section – road use authorization, i.e. e-vignettes. The amount of toll charges depends on the category of the vehicle and the type of the e-vignette. The category of the motor vehicles must be determined according to the official entry that appears in the vehicle registration certificate, based on the maximum permissible gross weight of the motor vehicle and the number of persons it is allowed to transport. From 1 January 2016, changes have been introduced with respect to the toll speedway network and the toll-free sections, therefore, we request you to study the information below in detail. For further details, please visit the www.toll-charge.hu website, where you find the maps of the toll speedway network that may be used with an e-vignette. For additional information, please call our Call Center at +36 (36) 587-500.

Annual authorization: valid from the first day of the relevant year to midnight on 31 January of the following year (for a total of 13 months if the purchase takes place on 1 January of the relevant year). The annual vignette authorizes road use from the time of purchase and is not valid retroactively. REGIONAL E-VIGNETTE In addition to the usual time-based national vignettes (weekly/10-day, monthly and annual), there is also a territory-based annual e-vignette type, the regional vignette, available for vehicles in Categories D1M, D1, D2, U and B2, with which the toll speedway network of a county may be used. For each vehicle, several regional e-vignettes can be purchased. The validity period of this e-vignette type is the same as the validity period of the annual authorization. The scope of validity of the regional vignette extends outside the relevant county, up to the first junction past the county border. For detailed information on the territorial validity of the regional vignettes according to junction numbers and road section numbers, please see the “Road Network” menu item at the www.toll-charge.hu website. Annual regional vignettes may be purchased for the following counties (having a toll speedway network) 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, Veszprém County, Zala County IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT E-VIGNETTES Road use authorization must be purchased prior to entering a toll speedway section. E-vignette purchases may not be applied with retroactive validity. In the case of a purchase within the validity period, the starting date of validity is the date of purchase. If you purchase more than one e-vignette at a time, please make sure that you have specified the dates of your journeys (uses) precisely. UNAUTHORIZED ROAD USE Driving without valid road use authorization on a road section subject to e-vignette toll qualifies as unauthorized road use, and results in excess charge payment in each of the vehicle categories regulated above. Road use is also considered unauthorized • if the road use authorization was purchased for the wrong category, i.e. an additional trailer is towed by a bus with a Category B2 authorization (instead of B2+U), or a Category D1 weekly or monthly authorization was purchased for a passenger car for 8 or more persons instead of Category D2; • if the registration number and/or the country code indicated on the control slip or in the confirming notification is not identical with the actual registration number and/or country code of the vehicle; • if you have an annual authorization for a given county but you do not use it between the junctions specified in the decree, i.e. you use the toll road network of another county. In case of electronic purchase of the road use authorization, the confirming notification serves as a proof of purchase. In order to avoid unauthorized road use, please always check the following on your control slip when making your purchase: registration number, country code, vehicle category and validity period.
