Our flight departed at 6:00 am so I was nervous about getting an early ride to the airport. Our driver picked us up promptly at 3:00 am. His van was very clean and he was friendly and courteous. He confirmed our pick up time the day before which was reassuring. I would definitely recommend this service.

Great experience. Communication was easy and updates were provided.
We were picked up from our Airbnb and delivered to our terminal.

It was difficult to locate our driver once we arrived in Budapest. We are accustomed to someone greeting us in the arrivals area, holding a sign with our name after retrieving our luggage. As it turns out, some drivers are not allowed to park in the airport arrivals controlled areas, and thus, cannot greet us. We had to call our driver once we got our luggage, who then requested us to go upstairs to departures and wait for him. Then, the driver was not allowed to drive us to the hotel frontage, as only taxi companies are allowed by the city. This resulted in us having to roll our heavy 3-week amount of luggage uphill on cobblestone pavements to reach our hotel. These were major inconveniences, especially after a long overnight trip from the USA. The driver was friendly enough, although he spoke limited English, but the overall service was not acceptable.

Driver was very friendly. He waited while we went through customs. Car was comfortable. Would do it again.
Herbert_B, Jun 2026
Viator was reliable. Came on time and were quick to respond to all of our communications. I definitely recommend them.
John_M, Jun 2026
Our flight was delayed arriving into Budapest, and we waited for hours at passport control. Our driver, Niklos, was kind and patient, and he was in contact with us the entire time. He was enthusiastic about sharing his city and his culture with us, and we arrived at our destination in no time. Thank you, Niklos!
James_G, Jun 2026
Easy to use, keeps you in touch with your driver even though there were delays Driver kept up a texting conversation and was waiting outside the second we arrived. No worries or guess work involved quick efficient ride. Took initiative to call cruise line and take us right to the dock!
Joyce_G, Jun 2026
Had a last minute request for an earlier pick up time which was promptly arranged. Driver was on time, very friendly, and gave us a "mini" tour on the way to the airport.
Ed_W, Jun 2026
Tough weekend with the Champion’s League soccer championship and the airport and city overrun with fans. Pickup was a little hectic but it all worked out. We waited at taxi departure area and soon found our driver. Many others had their driver waiting inside, probably at greater cost!
BibiPhuong_L, May 2026
On time and very good service. For first time travelling to this country, would recommend traveller to book this service.
Charles_R, Apr 2026
Great ride! On time, knowable, comfortable. Was a great solution for our arrival to Budapest after a long flight.
Jovita_T, Apr 2026
On time, friendly and helpful. Great instructions on where to meet the driver and car. Highly recommended.
Catherine_B, Apr 2026
They were very accommodating with our pickup arrangements and even picked us up directly from our B&B. The driver arrived promptly at 3 a.m. and assisted with loading our luggage. Overall, I would definitely recommend this service.
John_P, Mar 2026
The pickup was on time and very easy to manage. Atilla was wonderful, a good driver and informative about the area.
Donald_C, Mar 2026
Nicolas waited for us because our plane was late. And then he was very knowledgeable about the history as he drove us to our hotel. We highly recommend Budapest airport transfer. Reasonable price, excellent driver.
Johnna_L, Mar 2026
Great communication leading up to our booked transfer; Miklos let us know exactly where to be, and getting in touch was super easy! Our flight was a little late, and knowing he’d be there when we landed was so lovely (at midnight, no less). Thank you!!
Jenn_F, Mar 2026
Driver reached out via what’s app the night before (my communication preference) to let us know how to coordinate with him after our flight landed. He was waiting & took about 5 min to get to baggage claim once we notified him we were ready. He was friendly & knowledgeable, and shared points of interest on the drive to our hotel. His English was not perfect but he was able to communicate easily. We would definitely use this service again.

The lady who pick us up in Budapest was great as our flight plans changed all getting ng there.
Your person who was supposed to pick us up in Munich was horrible. We had extra time as we were flying out the next day and had arranged for a stay at the Hilton at the airport. He decided it was too long a drive. We were told to take the train to Munich. The train was under repair we tried the bus but couldn’t navigate it. This was all done in the last minute and we were in contact with your person. When he heard we couldn’t make it . He then offered to come and pick us up at the airport and go on another tour. We said no. The tour for $75 per person shows up as $360. On our cc statement. We are then are told we didn’t meet the 24 hour notification to get a full refund. All this was done in the same day. We have had great experiences with your company in the past. This has been horrible. We now need to fight you for the $360 a last minute tour. My wife made the arrangements. Her name is Stefanie Sedillo if you care to look it up. This is a bad story considering we recommend to all our friends and your company took advantage of us.
Cheryl_B, Mar 2026
Miklos was excellent, friendly and efficient. Our flight was delayed, he was constantly in communication with us and was there when we walked outside the airport. Which was 1 1/2 to .2 hours after our original arrival time. We highly recommend this Viator Service!!!
Jennifer_M, Mar 2026
Our driver communicated with me in advance of our arrival to let me know he’s be waiting five minutes away and to text/call once we had our luggage. The pickup was quick and the van was perfect for our group of five plus luggage. The driver was friendly and pointed out some sights along the way. Highly recommend!
Lorraine_F, Feb 2026
Very well organised. Met within ten minutes. Very friendly driver. Very informative showed us the sights on the way. Brilliant
Kathy_R, Jan 2026
Confusing, contradictory responses. Picked us up at a hotel instead of where we were staying. Had to repeatedly ask them for clarification.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your comment.
The hotel has two entrances: one on the pedestrian street where you waited, and the other is the back entrance designated for vehicle access. The pickup point was the hotel lobby, where our driver looked for you, while the transfer vehicle was ready at the back entrance. This arrangement is standard for early-morning pickups to ensure safety and efficiency.
Your transfer was scheduled for 04:00 a.m., and it departed on time as requested. All seven of your messages were answered promptly, including those sent during the night. Communication and service were clear and timely throughout.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to maintain high standards for punctual and reliable transfers.

Driver contacted us before we arrived to give the information needed for a seamless pick up at the Budapest Airport.
Robin_P, Dec 2025
I’ve read mixed reviews about Viator - but I’ve always had great experiences every time I’ve hired a transfer. Always on time, pleasant, helpful. This last trip, our flight was cancelled and Viator had no problem with my last minute change to another day. Plus, while I sometimes think I’m paying more than a regular driver, this last trip was a transfer on the outskirts of the city and the traffic was terrible - and I think the price was actually better than what I would have paid for a cab. And the driver was great, giving us brief histories and pointing out landmarks. All-in-all, if I’m in an unfamiliar place, I usually go to Viator because I know it’ll be comfortable and reliable.
Jon_S, Dec 2025
Eduard was an excellent driver. He communicated with us very well prior to the trip and offered to arrive early, which we really appreciated since we had heard that the airport was very busy with Christmas travelers.
His vehicle was well taken care of and we enjoyed our conversation with him on the way to the airport.
Dale_C, Dec 2025
Transfer from airport to hotel Budapest with 3 people, six suitcases and three backpacks in large van
Rose_M, Dec 2025
Drive was in constant communication, providing instructions for our pick up. Driver had the right vehicle for our baggage. Driver drove carefully in rush hour traffic, getting us to our hotel safe and sound.
Charles_Y, Nov 2025
Andrea did a fantastic job of communicating prior to our arrival to ensure she would be ready for our arrival and where to meet her. She was on time and did a great job of getting us to our destination while navigating heavy traffic.
Jamie_B, Nov 2025
Miklos was fantastic and went above and beyond. We got stuck in immigration for 3 hours after arrival due to the passport machines going down. Miklos waited for us and communicated the entire time despite hearing other people have drivers cancel.
Highly recommend!
