Driving Tips for Hungary

Stay safe on the road with these driving tips for Hungary:

  • Headlights: :** You must use low-beam—or dipped—headlights at all times outside built-up areas. However, it’s illegal to use high-beam (also called full-beam) lights in densely populated areas.
  • Speed Limits: Expect speed limits of 50 km/h (31 mph) in cities, 90 km/h (56 mph) on open roads, and up to 130 km/h (80 mph) on motorways.
  • Winter Driving: If you rent a car between November and March, you may experience snowy or icy roads. Make sure your vehicle is outfitted with winter tires or snow chains.
  • Right of Way: Always give way to buses and trolleys/trams. Tramways are marked with a red-bordered triangular sign with a trolley inside.
  • Flashing Headlights: Hungarians will flash their headlights to signal you have the right of way, and they want you to go.
  • On your Right: People drive on the right-hand side of the road in Hungary.

  • Budapest: Experience the best of the capital city, including Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, when you rent a car in Hungary with SIXT. Find affordable parking at Arena Plaza.
  • Vác: Only a 20-mile drive from Budapest, Vác offers a relaxed atmosphere on the banks of the Danube River. Here visitors can explore the crypt at the Tragor Ignác Museum or learn about the rich history of the region.
