From January 1, 2026, the toll payment system for motorhomes will change in Hungary. All motorhomes, regardless of weight, must purchase an electronic vignette (e-matrica) to use the toll road network. The toll category (D1 or D2) is determined by the maximum permissible mass and the number of passenger seats as stated in the vehicle's registration documents.

A change in Hungarian law will require all motorhomes to use the e-matrica electronic toll system for the country's fee-based road network from January 1, 2026. The new rule eliminates previous payment methods for vehicles over 3.5 tons, such as using an onboard unit or purchasing a point-to-point ticket. The applicable toll category (D1 or D2) is determined by the vehicle's weight and the number of passenger seats listed in its registration document.
