Vignettes for driving from Czechia to Hungary
Prague–Budapest crosses Slovakia: D1/D2 to Bratislava, the Slovak D2 around the capital, then the Hungarian M1. Three countries, three vignettes. Hungary's heti matrica is sold as a weekly pass but actually covers ten days.

Driving from Czechia to Hungary
Roughly 530 km and about 5:30 of driving, excluding stops.
Along the way
Bratislava and Vienna are the closest pair of capitals in Europe after Rome and the Vatican, barely sixty kilometres apart, and this road passes both. The Slovak section is short but still needs its own vignette. Hungary sells county vignettes alongside the national one; the national one is the safer buy unless the exact counties are known.
What the vignettes do not cover
Buy Hungary's national (országos) vignette rather than a county one—the M1 alone crosses several counties.
