Alternative routes and recommendations

Taking into account possible delays, travelers should consider other border crossing points on the border with Hungary, which may be less busy during this period. You can cross the border by car at the following checkpoints: Chop (Tisa), Dzvinkove, Luzhanka, Vylok. The longest queues are usually at the Chop (Tisa) crossing point.

Remember! A Green Card insurance policy is required to enter Hungary by car. Without such insurance, the car will not be allowed across the border! In addition, the absence or delay of insurance is fraught not only with fines that are several dozen times higher than the cost of the insurance policy for a year, but also with the seizure of the car and deportation from the country with a subsequent ban on entry. You can take out insurance for the required period on our website.
