Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Budapest?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price found for a cheap rental in Budapest was $29.
Can I rent a car from Ferenc Liszt Intl. Airport (BUD)?
You can choose from a good selection of rental car suppliers within a short distance of the airport. Budget, Sixt and Fox Rental Cars are popular with many travelers. Ace and Hertz are a couple of other quality options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Budapest car reservation?
We realize that plans change at short notice. That's why the majority of prepaid reservations allow for your money back if you cancel six hours in advance of pickup. Your rental policy should contain all the information you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
Where can I go on a road trip from Budapest?
When you've been to all of the well-known sights in Budapest, there's heaps more to explore in the surrounding area. Grab the keys to a rental car, stow your luggage in the trunk and get going. Here are some road trips we're confident you'll enjoy:

  • Győr is 65 miles from Budapest. Renowned attractions like Audi Arena deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Miskolc too? Popular sights in this buzzing city include Cave Bath. Miskolc is roughly 90 miles from Budapest.
  • Zemplén Kalandpark is approximately 140 miles from Budapest and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Budapest with Expedia?
Score an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the major brands. Save even more when you bundle your Budapest car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Budapest?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What is the cheapest car rental in Budapest?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Budapest was $29. The second lowest price was $35 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Budapest?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list incredible options from numerous top companies.
Where can I find a Budapest car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Budapest, it'd be wise to check the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Budapest?
For a stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Budapest ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Budapest with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Hungary, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
