Budapest Taxi Service

Taxi
Follow usBasics
Cabs in Budapest are marked with the word "Taxi", often accompanied by a company name / logo such as "City Taxi". All taxi vehicles must have a yellow registration plate, as opposed to the white backround on regular car plates. All taxameters are equipped with a receipt-printing function, displaying the fares charged and identification of the driver.
Prices
The fare is composed of 3 parts:
- Basic fee (700 HUF)
- Per kilometre charge (300 HUF/km)
- Waiting fee (75 HUF/min.)
(It is customary to tip the driver about 10% of the full fare, if you were satisfied with the service.)
Taxi Companies
Bigger taxi companies offer rates lower than the maximum listed above. Most of them have an English-speaking telephone operator, and you may ask them to send a driver that speaks at least basic English.
It is worth noting down the telephone numbers of a few bigger taxi companies in Budapest, and then calling them, because a cab ordered by telephone is less expensive than one hailed on the street. Some drivers are known for notoriously overcharging tourists. It is better to ask your concierge to order a taxi for you from a reliable company, or try calling them yourself.
