The crash near Gyor, 122 km west of Budapest, followed an earlier accident in the same area in which a truck collided with a construction vehicle, causing one death and a build-up of traffic.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said in a Facebook post that the victims were foreign nationals.
"I express my sincere condolences to the families," he said.
Magyar did not specify the nationality of the victims, and police did not immediately respond to Reuters' questions.
Police told news site 24.hu that all victims were men, that the minibus had Moldovan license plates and that the truck involved in the first accident also carried Moldovan licence plates.
