Budapest Airport taxi and transfers

Our price is quoted live on this page and fixed once you book. From the rank it is metered on the city's official tariff, and an airport journey starts from a 2,100 forint base fare rather than the 1,300 forints that applies inside Budapest, then adds 520 forints a kilometre and 130 forints a minute. Budapest Airport says the same, and adds that the rank operator works out a fare calculation from your exact destination address before the trip starts, so you can ask for that figure before you get in.

Yes. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport names Fotaxi as its official provider and puts the booking stands at the entrances of Terminal 2A and 2B, with the cars lined up at the ranks in front of them. You book at the stand and then take a car from the rank behind it, rather than walking straight up to the first car in the line. Every vehicle carries a card terminal.

Because of a separate airport base fare. The city decree sets the ordinary base at 1,300 forints and replaces it with 2,100 forints whenever the pick-up point or the destination is Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, recorded on the meter's second tariff position. BKK introduced it on 1 August 2026 and applies it in both directions, so the run out to catch your flight home carries it too. Being driven out by a friend is not always free either: the five-minute grace period applies only to the first entry of the day, and after it the airport charges Premium Drop-off on the departure level at 800 HUF for up to five minutes and 4,400 HUF for six to thirty, with Terminal Parking at 600 and 1,850 HUF for the same two bands.

Yes, and BKK lists Uber Taxi alongside Bolt, City Taxi, Elit Taxi and Fotaxi as companies meeting the city taxi decree. Order in the app from Terminal 2A, take the six-digit PIN you are given to the Uber pick-up point in front of that terminal, find the first available car and read the PIN to the driver; XL cars seating six are ordered at Terminal 2B. What the app will not do is undercut the rank, because Budapest Airport states that Uber fares here are set by the same taxi regulations: 2,100 HUF base for an airport ride, 520 HUF a kilometre, 130 HUF a minute.

Yes, the 100E Airport Express. It leaves from the arrivals level between the two terminals and runs to Deak Ferenc ter by way of Kalvin ter and Astoria, which BKK gives as a 40 minute trip into the centre. The ticket is 2,500 forints for one uninterrupted one-way journey, or 1,000 forints as an add-on if you already hold a pass, bought in the BudapestGO app or on board with a bank card. Students under 14 with a Hungarian student ID and passengers over 65 travel free. An ordinary BKK single is not valid on this line, and the 100E ticket is in turn not accepted on the 200E, so buy for the line you are actually taking.

Yes. BKK states that it operates around the clock, seven days a week, and that the 200E runs 24 hours a day as well. The two publishers differ slightly on how thin it gets overnight: Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport says every 20 to 40 minutes on average, BKK says every 30 to 40. Two things are worth knowing before a night landing: heading towards the airport the 100E only calls at Astoria between 00:04 and 04:47, and the 200E is extended to Hatar ut at night, from about 23:00 on weekdays and from midnight at weekends, where the night services 914, 914A, 950, 984 and 985 take over for the city centre.

Not from the terminal itself. The nearest station is Ferihegy, reached from Terminal 2 on the 200E, and from there the airport puts Nyugati railway station in the city centre at 30 minutes. Tickets are not sold at Terminal 2 at all, though the machines on the Ferihegy platform sell every domestic ticket 24 hours a day for cash or card, and the 24, 48 and 72-hour Budapest Cards from the BKK counters on the arrivals level cover the Ferihegy to Nyugati trains. Some services also need a supplementary ticket.

Yes. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport names miniBUD as its official shuttle provider and gives a fixed price from 2499 HUF a person into the city centre with no base fee, including unlimited baggage, child seats, extra legroom and Wi-Fi on the way. Note that it is priced per person rather than per vehicle. We do not sell seats: a booking with us is the whole car, at one price however many of you travel.

At the airport's designated pick-up point on the arrivals level. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport publishes no single named meeting point for pre-booked cars, so ring your driver on the number in your supplier details email as soon as you are on the ground and they will tell you exactly where to walk. Gate H, on the corridor between Terminal 2A and Terminal 2B on the arrival level, is a useful landmark for describing where you are standing, and it is also where passengers with reduced mobility claim the first 20 free minutes in the designated drop-off spaces. Express pick-up is included in what you paid, and being met inside the hall with a name board is meet and greet, a paid extra at checkout.

Yes, on request when you book. Tell us the ages and we pass it to the supplier with the job. Seats are not something you can count on finding at a rank, which is the usual reason families book ahead here. Cars run from a saloon for up to three passengers with three standard suitcases, through an estate for four passengers with three, to a people carrier for five passengers with four, and an eight-seat vehicle above that.

We track it and move the pick-up to the real landing time at no extra charge, so book for the scheduled arrival rather than padding it. The free waiting window included in your fare starts when the aircraft lands.

Cancel more than 24 hours before pick-up and you pay nothing; inside 24 hours the booking is charged in full. Payment is online by card when you book, for the whole vehicle rather than per seat, and the amount you see is the amount taken.

At least 24 hours before your pick-up. We can't take bookings at shorter notice here. If you have just landed and need a car now, the airport taxi rank is the quickest option.
