How to choose

Arriving at Budapest Airport? Főtaxi is the only licensed taxi company at the terminal — look for the yellow rank outside arrivals. For pre-booked private transfers with a meet-and-greet, Pickup Hungary is a good alternative.

Getting around Budapest? Bolt has the largest app-based fleet and usually the best waiting times. Uber works the same way but runs through Főtaxi drivers.

Travelling between cities? Ride-hailing apps mostly stay inside Budapest. For trips to Lake Balaton, Vienna, Bratislava, or the countryside, pre-book a private transfer.

Paying in cash? Főtaxi and Pickup Hungary accept cash. Bolt and Uber are app-only for payments.
