Private Airport Transfers in Budapest
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is 16 kilometres southeast of the city. The 100E airport bus reaches Deák Ferenc tér in 35–40 minutes for HUF 900 — a good option for solo travellers. For hotel addresses in the Jewish Quarter, the Buda Castle area, or Óbuda, a private transfer is often faster overall and eliminates the bus-to-metro connection with luggage. A LocalsRide driver waits for you when you land.

Budapest Airport Arrivals
Budapest has two terminals: Terminal 2A handles Schengen arrivals, Terminal 2B handles non-Schengen international flights. Both share the same arrivals concourse level after customs. If you ask for a name sign, each offer shows whether the driver will meet you with one in the meeting area immediately after the exit; if not, you agree a pick-up point with the driver.
