Hungarian motorways that will become toll roads in 2024, one-day vignette price

More than 200 km of toll roads will be extended in Hungary from 1 January 2024. This includes the country’s most congested motorway, the M0. As another change, the one-day motorway vignette is coming next year as well: and we finally know how much it will cost.

According to a decree of the Ministry of Construction and Transport published on 5 December, the length of toll motorways in Hungary will be increased by 235 km from 1 January. Among them, the entire M0 motorway (the ringroad around Budapest), the M44 highway and the M30 bypass at Miskolc will become toll roads, vg.hu reports.

New toll roads from 1 January 2024

Under the legislation, from 1 January 2024, tolls will be introduced on the following roads, which will also apply to passenger cars:

• the whole of the M0, but a Pest county vignette will be sufficient on the sections concerned,
• along the whole length of the M4, where, in addition to the Pest County vignette, the Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County vignette will also be required,
• along the M44, where the Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok and Békés County vignettes will be introduced, the Bács-Kiskun county vignette will be valid for a short stretch up to Tiszakürt,
• the whole length of the M30 motorway, after the end of the toll-free section between Miskolc South and Miskolc North, but with a Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County vignette, the whole length of the motorway can be used,
• the M31 will also become tolled, a Pest County vignette will suffice,
• the M76 from Balatonszentgyörgy to Keszthely-Fenékpuszta, on which the Somogy and Zala County vignettes will both be valid.

This means that from 1 January 2024, the counties of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok and Békés will be added to the list of toll roads.
