With a few exceptions, the Hungarian expressway network is subject to tolls. You can spare yourself several inconveniences if you are aware of which sections of the expressway are toll roads and which ones are toll-free – all regulated according to Decree 37/2007 (III. 26.) of the GKM on Motorways, Expressways and Main Roads Subject to User Charge.
