Welcome, you’ve just found me.

If you’re searching for Budapest airport to Pest cab costs, you expect clarity. Official airport taxis charge based on metered fares, which often lead to surprises. In contrast, a pre-booked private transfer offers a fixed price and total peace of mind.

Taxi Pricing: How It Works

Standard official airport taxis in Budapest operate on a metered system:

  • Base fare HUF 1100
  • Per kilometer charge (typically around 440 HUF/km)
  • Travel time charge (in case of big traffic) HUF 110/min
  • Waiting time or traffic delays may increase the total cost

A typical ride from Liszt Ferenc Airport to Pest (about 20-25 km) costs between 12000 and 15000 HUF. Heavy traffic or unexpected stops can push it even higher.

Private Transfer: Simple, Fixed, Comfortable

By contrast, I offer a fixed-price private transfer between the airport and central Pest. Here’s what you get when you book with me:

  • No meters, no hidden fees
  • English speaking driver who knows Budapest inside out
  • Direct, non stop transfer to your hotel or address

For all destinations in Pest, my private rate is fixed and transparent, making budgeting easier and travel more reliable, regardless of traffic.
