Why take a private transfer from Vienna to Budapest

The Railjet train between Wien Hauptbahnhof and Budapest-Keleti takes about the same time as the car, but you still have to get to the station in Vienna, carry your bags onto the train and find a taxi at Keleti. With a private transfer you leave when it suits you, go door to door and travel with your own driver – easier with children, heavy luggage, skis or a group.

Door to door

from your hotel or home in Vienna to your address in Budapest, without changes.

Pick-up at Vienna Airport

Approximate distance and driving time without traffic jams and stops:

The usual route goes along the A4 and M1 motorways via Győr. The border between Austria and Hungary is inside the Schengen area, so there is normally no passport control, but please take your passport or ID card – spot checks are possible.

Stop in Bratislava or at Parndorf on the way

Parndorf Fashion Outlet lies right on the motorway, so a shopping stop adds only a few minutes of driving. Bratislava is a short detour: you can take a walk through the old town, have lunch on the Danube and continue to Budapest in the afternoon. Tell us how long you want to stay when you book.
