Taxi

Taxi fares are of course much higher than the BKV public transport system. It is worth bearing in mind that rush hour traffic can make the latter a much smoother and faster alternative. If you want to take taxi, ordering it by phone will make the ride cheaper (up to 25%), and will avoid disreputable taxis who will take you all round the town and charge you an arm and a leg for the privilege. Well-established taxi companies with English speaking operators:

Taksa: 2 111 111
FÅ‘ Taxi: 2 222 222
Radiotaxi: 3 777 777
Taxi 2000: 2 000 000
Est Taxi: 2 444 444

If you are travelling in a group you can use the minibus and coach service provided by www.budapestairporttransfers.com. Specialising in stag and hen groups and only using english speaking drivers. The price is fixed and is prepaid so you need not worry about unscrupulous drivers locally.
