E-VIGNETTE USER GUIDE 2015 E-VIGNETTE ROAD USE PERMITS The e-vignette user charge system applies to motorcycles, automobiles and their trailers, and cargo vehicles, campers and buses with a maximum permissible gross weight of 3.5 tons and their trailers. These vehicles are authorized to use Hungarian toll roads exclusively with pre-purchased road use authorizations (purchased before entering the expressways subject to toll payment), i.e. e-vignettes. The rate of the toll depends on the category of the motor vehicle. The toll category of the vehicles depends on their seat capacity and maximum permissible gross weight. The toll category must be established on the basis of the official entry that appears in the vehicle registration certificate. Material changes from previous years have been introduced in the toll decree with respect to the toll-free sections and toll categories; therefore we request that you study the information in detail. For further details, please visit the www.toll-charge.hu web site, where you find maps of the toll expressway network usable with the e-vignette. For additional information, please call our Call Center at +36 (36) 587-500. TOLL-FREE SECTIONS The majority of the previously toll-free sections of the road network will become subject to toll payment! From 1 January 2015 the following road sections can be used toll free: • the entire length of the M31 motorway • the following sections of the M0 highway: ◦◦ the section between Main Route 1 and the M5 motorway ◦◦ the section between M4 highway (Main Route 4) and M3 ◦◦ Megyeri Bridge (the section between Main Route 11 and Main Route 2) The remaining sections of M0, and, in addition to the access and exit sections of the expressways within the beltway, the currently toll-free city bypass roads and highways will also lose their toll-free status and shall be used with a valid e-vignette after the new regulations take effect. TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS In case of unauthorized road use established between 1 January 2015 and 31 January 2015, retrospective waiver of the levied fine can be granted if the person subjected to the penalty payment purchases before 1 March 2015 an annual regional or annual national road use permit relevant to the location of the unauthorized road use, after also having paid the penalty at one of the Customer Service Offices of the National Toll Payment Services Plc.

Annual authorization: valid from the first day of the calendar year to midnight on 31 January of the following year (a total of 13 months if the purchase took place on 1 January of the relevant year). The annual vignette ensures road use authorization from the time of purchase and is not valid retroactively. REGIONAL E-VIGNETTE In addition to the usual time-based vignettes (weekly/10-day, monthly, annual), a new, territorybased e-vignette type will become available for vehicles in Categories D1M, D1, D2, U and B2, with which the toll road networks of one or more counties can be used. More than one regional vignette can be used for the same vehicle. The validity period of this e-vignette type will be the same as the validity period of the annual authorization. Annual vignettes for the following counties can be purchased (which have toll expressway networks) 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, Vas County, Veszprém County, Zala County IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT E-VIGNETTES Tolls must be paid before entering the relevant expressway toll sections! E-vignette purchases cannot be applied with retroactive validity. In the case of a purchase within the required validity period the starting date of validity is the date of purchase. If you purchase more than one vignette at a time, please make sure that you have specified the time of your journeys (road use) precisely. UNAUTHORIZED ROAD USE Driving without valid road-use authorization on a road section subject to e-vignette toll qualifies as unauthorized road use, which entails penalty payment in each of the toll categories regulated above. Road use is also considered unauthorized •if the road usage authorization was purchased for the wrong category; i.e. an additional trailer is towed with a Category B2 authorization (instead of B2+U), or Category D1 ticket was purchased for a car for 8 or more persons instead of category D2; •if the registration number and/or country code indicated on the counterfoil or in the confirmation message is not identical with the actual registration number and country code of the vehicle; •if you have an annual authorization for a given county but use the toll road network of another county. In the case of electronic purchase, the confirmation message serves as a proof of purchase. In order to avoid unauthorized road use, please always check the following on your counterfoil when you make your purchase: registration number, country code, vehicle category, validity period.
