For under £12 they will not only take you to your hotel in Budapest but will also collect you at the end of your visit. It is a very well-run operation.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2676 Using pre-booked taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4968 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4968 Taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4962
- never take a taxi that is unmarked (except for the light on top), including the white taxis lined up at the airport; these are mafia run and will rip you off

- taxis are always cheaper if you call in advance - get some numbers from your hotel/hostel, or have the bar call for you

- some reputable companies: BudaTaxi; 6x6 Taxi; Taxi 4; RadioTaxi. There are others, but in six years I've never gone wrong with these

- it's a good idea to keep a card with your address written down on it]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4962
