We keep receiving many comments on our pages, which show that many people still mistakenly (!) believe that we are the reason why tolls are getting more expensive or sections are becoming subject to toll payment.

Let’s look at the pure facts in 10 points:

• Hungary has around 2,000 km of express roads. We manage 60% of this, but 800 km do not belong to us.
• In addition to the 2,000 km of express roads, there are further 5,300 kilometres that are subject to tolls.
• The toll is determined and collected by the state. The state also decides which roads should be toll roads.
• The toll is not paid to the concession but to the state budget. We have no influence on toll rates.
• Even if the state manages to collect more tolls, we will not get a single forint after it. The amount paid to us is fixed, it was set out in an agreement in 2022.
• Three of the roads that are now toll roads are not managed by us.
• The toll in Hungary is not just the price of the stickers you buy for your car, vehicles heavier than 3.5 tonnes (trucks, lorries, buses, domestic or foreign registered) pay a toll proportional to the amount of road use.
• About 80% of all tolls are paid into the budget by vehicles heavier than 3.5 tonnes.
• Foreigners pay 50-55% of the amount paid by vehicles heavier than 3.5 tonnes.
• The toll paid to us is less than that, which means that the operation, maintenance and development of express roads is paid for by foreign truckers, not by domestic car drivers.

The attached map shows the sections we operate.

We wish you all a safe journey!
