After Vienna I’m considering a quick (relatively on a 125) blast across to Budapest but it looks like there are lots of roads other than the motorways that require a vignette.
Does anyone have experience of having/not having one?

At €5.90 for a 10 day and €10.07 for a 1 month e-vignette, it’s not even worth the risk of getting caught and a fine

Re: Hungary Vignettes?
I was definitely leaning that way anyway but just wondered if it was easy to not use the toll roads

Re: Hungary Vignettes?
It's peace of mind really, knowing that there's not likely to be a letter on your doormat when you get home because you've accidentally strayed onto a road you shouldn't be on without a vignette.
Apparently you get a 60 minutes grace period to buy one if you haven't got one and you do stray though. I'm just going to get one in July when I go so that it's one less thing to think about

Re: Hungary Vignettes?
I drove through Switzerland in a hire car once without a vignette (due to my own error) and wouldn't do it again. I had about a month of worry when I got back, waiting for an enormous fine to arrive in the post everyday, which thankfully it didn't.

Re: Hungary Vignettes?
After you are done in Budapest it’s only a short hop down to lake Balaton, well worth a few days around there if you have the time. There’s a ferry across the lake about 1/2 way along and then you can head back towards Graz to make it a circular route. Interesting castle in Sumeg and some good thermal springs towards the bottom end of the lake on the topside.
