Car hire in Budapest

Budapest car hire at the Airport or in the city center

To hire a car in Budapest I recommend you to choose the easiest way and rent the car online from home. You can be sure that your car is at the airport or in one of the city center rental places. To rent a car in Budapest is ideal if you want to be flexible and maybe see some sights and cities outside of Budapest. If you stay within the Budapest city center during your trip I recommend not to rent a car because you will spend half you day in the traffic which is quite high in Budapest and have trouble finding parking places in the city so rather use the public transport.

Nevertheless you are much more flexible with a car and if you plan to go for trips to Szentendre, Visegrad, Esztergom or to Lake Velence or Lake Balaton. In this case a car is really recommendable because you will reach your destination much easier and faster. Also interesting is to hire a car from the airport to get into the city fast and comfortable even though you probably get cheaper to your hotel if you book an airport pickup before you arrive.
