When renting a car in Hungary, road toll payments are usually made by the rental company, especially if the car is rented in Budapest. However, if the car is rented outside of Budapest, you will need to pay and register the car for road tolls independently.

​

How to Pay Road Tolls in Hungary?

​

You can pay for road tolls at the following websites:
1. Autovignet.hu
2. Tolltickets.com

​

Using Navigation Apps: Waze vs. Google Maps

1. Waze:
• In Israel, it is sufficient to authorize toll roads once.
• In Europe, you must manually add the necessary toll authorizations for each country.
• Without the required authorizations, Waze might navigate you through longer routes, using side roads and villages.
• Example: A drive from Budapest to Kerestir in Waze, without toll authorizations, could take about an hour longer than in Google Maps.

2. Google Maps:
• Always navigates through the shortest and quickest route, even without adding toll authorizations.

​

Important Tip for Waze Users:
• Be sure to set up toll authorizations in Waze before starting your trip.
• After setting up toll authorizations, the app’s voice settings might change to Hungarian. This can be easily changed in the app settings.

​

Recommendation:
Before starting your journey, ensure all required tolls have been paid and your navigation app is properly set. Proper preparation will save you time and prevent delays on the way to your destination.
