Traveling by taxi is cheap in Budapest. Even though public transport is very easy to navigate, during the night especially if you are going back to your accommodations after a night of clubbing, taxi is a cheap and fast option.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Taxi company's phone number (optional)
  • Address of your location
  1. Step 1

    Use reputable companies Főtaxi, City Taxi or 6x6 Taxi.

  2. Step 2

    Flat rate for a taxi journey is 300HUF (1.69$) (between 6:00am until 10:00pm) , 240 (1.35$) HUF for every additional kilometer and 57HUF(0.32$) for waiting.

  3. Step 3

    The rates are lower if you call and order a taxi by phone then hail it in the street.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure the taxi driver resets the taximeter when you board.
  • Few taxi drivers speak fluent English so be prepared.
  • If you are coming to Budapest by train, do not let yourself be haggled by taxi drivers at the train station. Go outside and find a taxi licensed to a reputable taxi company.
