How to get from Budapest Airport to the city: all options

There are several ways to get from Budapest Airport to the centre. Which one is best depends on your luggage, the time of arrival and how many of you are travelling:

Airport Express bus 100E

runs from Terminal 2 to Deák Ferenc tér in the city centre in about 35–45 minutes. It needs a special ticket and does not take you to your door.

Bus 200E + metro M3

the cheapest option, but with a change at Kőbánya-Kispest and a metro ride with your bags.

Taxi from the rank

the official airport taxi waits outside the arrivals hall; at busy times there can be a queue.

Shared shuttle

a minibus with other passengers, with stops at several hotels on the way.

Private transfer

the driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes only you, directly to your address. The best choice for families, groups, heavy luggage and late arrivals.

Budapest Airport transfer prices

Prices are per car rather than per passenger and are fixed when you book.

Private transfer, taxi, bus or train from Budapest Airport

Bus. The 100E airport bus runs to the city centre and is the cheapest option for one person with light luggage who does not mind finishing the trip on foot or by metro.

Train. There is no direct rail link from the terminal to the centre, so the bus is the main public transport option.

Taxi from the rank. Taxis wait outside the terminal, but you queue after landing and cannot choose the size of the car or count on a child seat.

Private transfer. The better deal for couples, families and groups, for anyone with bulky bags and for night arrivals when you just want to get to bed: the car is waiting, the price is known and it covers everyone on board.

Leaving the city? Book the transfer from Budapest to the airport in advance. We also drive across borders: see the Budapest to Vienna transfer and the Budapest to Bratislava transfer.

WhatsApp Call

Where will the driver meet me at Budapest Airport?

In the arrivals hall of Terminal 2A or 2B with a sign with your name, or at a meeting point we agree when you book. All flights at Budapest Airport use Terminal 2.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

The driver waits until you arrive. Waiting is free of charge.

How long does it take from Budapest Airport to the city centre?

About 25–40 minutes by car, depending on traffic and the exact address. The airport is about 20 km from the centre.

Is a private transfer better than the 100E bus or a taxi?

The bus is cheaper but ends at Deák Ferenc tér, so you still need to get to your hotel. A taxi from the rank can mean a queue. A private transfer takes you straight to your door and the driver waits for you in the arrivals hall – easiest with children, luggage or late at night.

Yes. The transfer goes straight from the airport: about 2 hours 20 minutes to Bratislava and about 2 hours 50 minutes to central Vienna.
