Car Rental at Budapest Airport (BUD)

The Budapest Airport is the main international airport of Hungary and serves the nation's capital city of Budapest. The airport terminal is located 9.9 miles to the southeast of Budapest city center and it was renamed from Budapest Ferihegy International Airport to Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport to honor the 19th century Hungarian composer on the 200th anniversary of the pianist's birth. The Budapest Airport accommodates commercial and charter flights from a range of airlines with planes traveling to all major points in Europe and around the world. Compare rates at the airport with rental rates at Keleti Railway Station to find the best rate for your vehicle rental in Budapest.

We guarantee the lowest rates in the industry so whether you're planning a trip to Budapest, or expect to depart from the Budapest Airport, we can easily arrange to have a budget-friendly rental car waiting at your destination.

Where to Find the Car Rental Desks at the Budapest Airport

BUD has three main terminals; Terminal 1, Terminal 2A and Terminal 2B. There is also a fourth, smaller terminal which accommodates small-craft aviation flights and there are plans in place to expand the airport with a state-of-the-art cargo base. Visitors should pay close attention to their terminal number and plan accordingly. While Terminals 2A and 2B are close and travelers can easily walk between them, Terminal 1 is located closer to the city of Budapest and requires airport transfer or a short bus ride. The majority of international flights arrive and depart from Terminal 2. From the city center, travelers can reach either terminal in a rental car or via the MAV train (Terminal 1) or BKV bus (Terminal 2). Many travelers prefer to rent a personal vehicle for the duration of their stay in Hungary as this provides a level of autonomy and freedom to their trip.

If you are expecting a layover in the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport you're in for a treat! The Sky Court, located between Terminal 2A and 2B is a new, state-of-the-art concourse which provides all of the luxuries you've come to expect from a modern airport. From duty free to shops for fine wine vendors; from fast food restaurants to gourmet cafes; the Sky Court has it all. Security checkpoints, baggage claim and business lounges are also located in the Sky Court, and the Budapest Airport car rental terminals are located near baggage claim, by the front of the building. If it's your first time traveling to the Budapest international airport, staff members are available to answer questions or point you in the right direction at the facility's clearly labeled information desks.

International Driving Permit Requirements in Budapest

All motorists from the United States must have an International Driver's Permit to rent or operate a car in Budapest. IDP's are affordable and can be purchased from an automobile organization like AAA for $20. Keep in mind, if you arrive without an IDP you run the risk of being fined by police, as well as being denied your car at the rental counter.
