What is the route from the Czech Republic to Hungary?

We reach Hungary through Slovakia. From Brno the route follows the D2 to Bratislava, crosses at Čunovo–Rajka and continues along the M15 and M1 via Győr to Budapest – about 330 km in total, around 530 km from Prague. For eastern Hungary (Debrecen) we continue on the M3, for Kecskemét on the M5.

From Ostrava and northern Moravia we drive via Žilina and Komárno. All borders are inside Schengen. According to our transit time overview we plan 2–3 days from loading; on a direct run the truck is often in western Hungary and Budapest the next day.

What do we transport to Hungary?

To Hungary we mainly carry parts for the car plants in Győr, Kecskemét and Debrecen, engineering components, packaging and building materials, and palletised goods for distribution centres around Budapest.

Hungarian car plants and their suppliers work just in time with precise unloading slots. We therefore confirm the slot in advance and the driver has a direct contact at goods receiving.

Which tolls and rules apply in Hungary?

  • Tolls: Slovakia charges an electronic toll for vehicles over 3.5 t, Hungary the distance-based HU-GO toll calculated by distance, emission class and number of axles.
  • Driving ban: in Hungary vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive from Saturday 22:00 to Sunday 22:00 or on public holidays. In Slovakia the ban applies on Sundays and holidays.
  • Currency: Hungary does not use the euro; the currency is the forint – this has no effect on invoicing between companies.
  • Customs: Hungary is in the EU and Schengen, so goods travel without customs duty or border checks.
