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.

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.
