TAXI
Hungary shares similar taxi issues as most countries and areas frequented by travelers. Be informed about the local taxi culture in order to avoid unpleasant situations. Railway Stations: BE CAREFUL when you arrive at the East and West railway stations (Keleti Pályaudvar or Nyugati Pályaudvar). „Hiena” Taxis will charge as much as 3 – 5 times more to take you to your location. Call a taxi for your arrival while you’re on the train! Budapest Airport has a contracted taxi company, which offers fixed rates between the airport and the city. During your stay is always safer and cheaper to phone for a taxi from one of the reputable local companies, than to get into one random off the street. Some taxi drivers often recommend certain bars, clubs and restaurants to passengers – they receive a commission to do so, and the money is then recovered by these establishments charging extortionate prices. If a driver offers to take you to one, or you are approached on the street with an invitation to enter a club, you should ignore such advice! Hungary has an excellent visitors’ information network which you can utilize. You can also ask for the recommendation of the concierge at your hotel.
