Arriving at the airport, avoid being ripped off by local taxi drivers or having the hassle of hauling luggage around while trying to find public transport in to town. Use the Airport Minibus situated in the arrivals lounge.
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.
Phone No.: (+361) 296-8555

The phone booking service is available each day between 06.00 a.m. and 10.00 p.m..

Just back from Budapest. Used the Airport Minibus and they told us to get our hotel to ring them when we wanted to return. When the hotel rang they were told that the Minibus was fully booked for the whole day. We lost our money and had to get a taxi back to the Airport. If there are two or more of you, taxis are the better, faster and cheaper option. Check out the other tips for good taxi firms, but DON'T use the taxi rank at the front of the terminal, as they are expensive. Call a cab and it will be there in minutes.
