Where to get a Budapest Airport taxi?
FőTaxi is the official taxi provider at the airport and they operate using taximeters. You can find Budapest Airport’s taxi ranks just outside both terminals (T2A and T2B), along with taxi booths to book your ride. Just keep in mind that waiting times may be significantly longer if you’re travelling during peak season.
To bypass the crowds and get straight into a waiting vehicle, we recommend pre-booking your airport taxi in Budapest. That way, you can ensure a personalised, seamless experience and secure a guaranteed fixed fare.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Budapest Airport
- Budapest Airport taxis calculate fares using a taximeter, based on the distance travelled and time of day.
- Never accept rides from unlicensed drivers offering rides inside the airport.
- Remember to tell the driver which district your address is in as many street names are repeated across different districts.
- Whilst tipping isn’t expected, you can tip your Budapest Airport taxi driver around 10% if the service is excellent.
- Airport taxis in Budapest typically accept card payments. But it’s still good to check with your driver before setting off. You should also carry some cash in the local currency just in case (€).
- Budapest taxis do not provide seats for children. You can bring your own or book with a private transfer company offering extras such as child booster and baby seats.
- Some taxi drivers may speak English, but this is never guaranteed. We recommend writing down the address of your hotel or accommodation to avoid any miscommunication.
- If you think you have been scammed or overcharged, keep your receipt and write down the taxi driver’s name, ID number and the number of your taxi. You can then contact the taxi company or the local police to file a complaint.
- Pre-booking a Budapest taxi from the airport guarantees a meet and greet, no waiting times, advance payments, reliable English-speaking drivers, and 24/7 customer support.
