Reaching your accommodation from the airport ...
... by Airport Shuttle Minibus
The Airport Shuttle Minibus service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a boarding capacity of 8 to 10 passengers. Buses start every 10 minutes to any location in Budapest.
The Airport Shuttle Minibus operation is similar to a door-to-door taxi service. The 8-10-seater minibuses pick up passengers from the airport who would stay roughly in the same part of the city. For this reason it is necessary to reckon on a longer transfer time than a taxi.
Reservations can be made in person at the Airport Shuttle Desk – located at every terminal.
