## Tolls and driving bans for trucks in Hungary

In Hungary, vehicles over 3.5 t pay the HU-GO electronic toll on motorways, expressways and main roads. The toll depends on the distance driven, the vehicle category and the emission class. The carrier pays with a registered on-board unit, or buys a route ticket before the trip. Our price includes the toll.

Trucks over 7.5 t have a weekend and public holiday ban on all Hungarian public roads. The hours change with the season, as the table shows. From 4 November to 1 March, trucks in international traffic with emission class Euro 3 or higher are exempt from this ban.

## Documents for loads between Lithuania and Hungary

Both countries are in the EU customs territory, so EU goods travel between them without an export declaration and without customs formalities. Every load travels with a CMR consignment note. Add the invoice and a packing list, so the receiver can check the goods at delivery.

If the route crosses a country outside the EU, the load travels with a transit document. Goods from outside the EU that are not yet cleared also need a transit document. Tell us before loading.
