Premium Chauffeur ServiceVIP · Budapest · Hungary

Premium transfers anywhere in Hungary

From Budapest to the countryside and back – door to door, by Mercedes-Benz or electric car.

Hungary may be a small country, but train and coach timetables rarely fit around a business meeting, a wedding schedule or a dawn flight. Our premium transfers anywhere in Hungary pick you up wherever you are and take you wherever you are going – from Budapest to Lake Balaton, the wine regions and the major university and industrial cities, or from the countryside back to the capital and the airport.

With our domestic transfers there are no changes, no hunting for a parking space, and no hours spent behind the wheel that you could spend working, resting or talking with your family. Our Mercedes-Benz sedans and minivans, as well as our electric cars, offer free Wi-Fi, USB chargers and mineral water; further requests are met on demand. Our chauffeurs speak foreign languages and have years of experience looking after VIP guests – over 25 years and more than 150,000 rides, our team has learnt what makes a journey out of town truly carefree.

Routes

From Budapest to the regions – by motorway, door to door

Hungary’s motorway network radiates out from the capital, so almost every major town in the country can be reached from Budapest entirely by motorway or expressway. In practice this means predictable journey times: the figures in the table assume normal traffic and no breaks, and we always set the exact departure time accordingly and to suit the time of day.

The main motorways – which one goes where?

MotorwayDirectionTypical destinations
M0Budapest ring roadLinks the radial motorways and the road to Ferenc Liszt Airport – without passing through the city centre
M1West, towards ViennaTatabánya, Győr, then Sopron via the M85; the Austrian border at Hegyeshalom
M3North-eastGödöllő, Hatvan, Füzesabony (M25: Eger), Miskolc (M30), Debrecen (M35), Nyíregyháza
M5South-eastKecskemét, Szeged, the Serbian border at Röszke
M6South, along the DanubeDunaújváros, Paks, Szekszárd, Mohács; Pécs via the M60
M7South-west, towards Lake BalatonSzékesfehérvár, Siófok, the southern shore, Nagykanizsa, the Croatian border at Letenye

The M0 ring road is especially useful for combining airport and regional journeys: if you land at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport and travel straight on to Eger, Szeged or Lake Balaton, you can avoid city-centre traffic entirely. In that case the airport Meet & Greet and the regional transfer become a single journey: your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, escorts you to the car and sets off for your destination.

On summer weekends the M7 towards Lake Balaton is regularly congested on Friday afternoons, and in the other direction on Sunday afternoons; on the approaches to the capital along the M1, M3 and M5 you should also allow for the morning and late-afternoon rush hours. Before an important appointment it is therefore wise to leave some time in hand – we are happy to help you work this out when you book.

Regions

Premium transfers to every region of Hungary

Below we present the most popular destinations, region by region. The key areas also have pages of their own, where we cover the sights, the route and typical travel scenarios in more detail.

Lake Balaton – Siófok, Balatonfüred, Tihany, Hévíz, Keszthely

Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe and the number one destination for travel within Hungary. Siófok, the hub of the southern shore, lies about 109 km from the capital – little more than an hour along the M7. On the northern shore, the promenades of Balatonfüred, a spa resort from the nineteenth-century Reform Era, and the Benedictine abbey on the Tihany peninsula await visitors, while at the western tip of the lake Hévíz and Keszthely are the two centres of health tourism and palace visits. In summer most people travel for weddings, company year-end events and family holidays; in spring and autumn for conferences and wellness weekends. Details: Lake Balaton transfer – Siófok, Balatonfüred, Tihany, Hévíz.

Northern Hungary – Eger, Miskolc and the Tokaj wine region

The M3 motorway and its branches lead to historic castles and world-famous wine regions. Eger, with its castle, basilica and the wine cellars of the Valley of the Beautiful Women (Szépasszony-völgy), is ideal even for a day trip; Miskolc is the area’s industrial and university centre, at the foot of the Bükk hills, with Lillafüred and the Miskolctapolca Cave Bath nearby. The Tokaj wine region has been a World Heritage cultural landscape since 2002 and is the home of Aszú – and it is also where Bodrogkeresztúr (Kerestir) lies, one of the most important destinations for Hasidic pilgrims, which we cover on our Kerestir pilgrimage page. More on journeys in the area: Eger, Miskolc and Tokaj transfers.

Eastern Hungary and the Great Plain – Debrecen

Debrecen is Hungary’s second-largest city, home to the Reformed Great Church and the University of Debrecen, and its economic weight is increasingly shaped by the automotive industry. Debrecen International Airport lies a few kilometres from the city centre, so you can book a transfer not only from the capital but also from the airport into the city or to the surrounding plants. The nearby Hortobágy National Park reveals the world of the puszta. Details: Debrecen transfer from Budapest.

The Southern Great Plain – Szeged

Szeged, on the banks of the Tisza, is the city of sunshine: a university centre, a city of scientific conferences and research institutes, and in summer the prestigious venue of the Szeged Open-Air Festival in Dóm tér. A comfortable drive of under two hours along the M5 takes you there, passing Kecskemét on the way. Details: Szeged transfer.

Southern Transdanubia – Pécs and the Villány wine region

Pécs is a cultural city with a Mediterranean feel on the southern slopes of the Mecsek hills: it was a European Capital of Culture in 2010, its Early Christian burial chambers are a World Heritage Site, and the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter is home to events and exhibitions. To the south, the cellars of the Villány wine region await lovers of red wine. From Budapest it is reached via the M6 and then the M60. Details: Pécs transfer from Budapest.

Western Transdanubia – Győr and Sopron

Győr, on the M1 halfway between Budapest and Vienna, is one of Hungary’s strongest industrial centres, with a Baroque old town; Sopron is the “most loyal town”, the land of the Fertő landscape and Kékfrankos wine, right beside the Austrian border. The two are often two stops on a single business tour, sometimes combined with an engagement in Vienna. Details: Győr and Sopron transfers.

Even without a page of their own

More destinations: Kecskemét, Székesfehérvár, the Danube Bend and beyond

Our domestic transfers do not end with the list above. We will gladly take you to any town, village, hotel, castle hotel or industrial park in Hungary – you simply give us the pick-up and drop-off addresses. A few popular destinations that do not have a page of their own:

Kecskemét

The county town of Bács-Kiskun on the M5, roughly an hour from Budapest. Series production has been running at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskemét since 2012, so the city is a regular destination for suppliers, auditors and corporate delegations. The Art Nouveau Cifrapalota and the town centre, known as the birthplace of Zoltán Kodály, are well worth a stroll after a meeting.

Székesfehérvár

The first major stop on the M7, on the way to Lake Balaton. It was the coronation city of medieval Hungary: according to tradition, 38 kings were crowned and 15 rulers buried in the basilica begun in the time of St Stephen – its ruins are now part of the National Memorial Site. Its industrial parks also make it a frequent destination for business travellers.

Danube Bend – Szentendre, Visegrád, Esztergom

The capital’s favourite day trip. After the picturesque old town of Szentendre come Visegrád, with its Citadel and the royal palace built under the Angevins that reached the height of its splendour in the time of King Matthias, and Esztergom, where the basilica – Hungary’s largest church – awaits visitors. For a full-day programme, booking at an hourly rate is the most comfortable option.

Multi-stop excursions such as the Danube Bend can also be arranged as part of our sightseeing and guided tours – the car and chauffeur are then at your disposal all day, and you decide where to go and how long to stay. We work in exactly the same way for smaller villages, manor hotels, golf courses, hunting lodges and country event venues: just give us the address and we will plan the rest.

Round trip

Several regional stops in a single day

A plant visit in Győr, lunch in Sopron, back to Budapest in the evening. Or a morning meeting in Kecskemét, a partner company in Szeged in the afternoon and a hotel in the capital for the night. Our Round trip service was designed for days like these, letting you visit several locations outside the capital in a short time.

We agree the order of the stops in advance, but it can be changed flexibly along the way – if a meeting runs over, or a new location is added to the agenda en route, your chauffeur adapts. Free Wi-Fi is available in every car, so between stops you can deal with emails, join a video call or simply prepare for your next meeting.

As part of a Round trip we can arrange transport for up to 50 people – so a larger delegation, a study tour or a company team-building day comes together as a single, well-coordinated programme. You can read more about group options on our corporate chauffeur service page.

Who is it for?

Business or leisure – we plan for both

Business and corporate travel

Factory visits, audits, supplier negotiations, conferences or university partnerships – a large part of the Hungarian economy operates outside the capital. We offer our business clients a corporate rate, all of a company’s journeys can appear on a single invoice, and electronic payment is available. With our Point to Point service the journey to a distant location becomes working time: you can work, make calls or even hold a meeting in the car.

  • Corporate rate, a single invoice, electronic payment
  • Free Wi-Fi and USB chargers in every car
  • From small parties to larger delegations

Leisure and family trips

A holiday at Lake Balaton, wine tasting in Eger, a cellar visit in Tokaj, a spa cure in Hévíz or a country wedding – here the aim is for the journey to be part of the relaxation from the very first minute. Our Leisure Traveling service also covers company outings, dinners and gatherings. On wine-region days it is especially valuable that nobody has to drive, and the whole party gets home comfortably and safely after the tastings.

  • Spacious minivans for families and groups of friends
  • Hourly booking for full-day programmes
  • Mineral water, further requests on demand

When transporting wedding guests – for a reception at Lake Balaton or in a country château – guests travel to the venue from Budapest or the airport and get home again in the evening. We cover this and the other details of the big day on our wedding car with chauffeur page.

Seasons

Where and when? Travel in Hungary all year round

Spring

The peak of the conference and training season: hotels at Lake Balaton and across the country host corporate events, and the cellar-visit season gets under way in the wine regions.

Summer

The season of Lake Balaton holidays, weddings, festivals and open-air performances. With weekend traffic, it is especially worthwhile to let your chauffeur plan the departure.

Autumn

Harvest time in the wine regions, in Eger and the Tokaj wine region – on tasting days nobody needs to drive. Business life also picks up again after the summer break.

Winter

The season of the spa towns: the water of the lake at Hévíz never drops below 22 °C, even in winter, and the thermal baths of Miskolctapolca and Eger welcome guests all year round. We also take bookings for end-of-year company dinners.

Fleet

Which car should you take for a journey across Hungary?

On a two-hour journey the vehicle matters far more than on a short city transfer. For one to three passengers, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the elegant, good-value choice that stays comfortable over long distances; the S-Class is the marque’s flagship sedan, with a spacious rear cabin and electrically adjustable, heated seats. The 100% electric Mercedes-Benz EQS, with its long range, reaches any corner of the country with ease, and its massage seats and superb sound insulation make even a long journey restful.

For families and small groups we recommend the seven-seat Mercedes-Benz V-Class, whose facing seats let you talk or hold a meeting on the move; for the same number of passengers, the fully electric, very quiet long-wheelbase Peugeot e-Traveller is also ideal, with a large boot. If you have a lot of luggage – golf bags, exhibition materials, the suitcases for a longer holiday – the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter VIP takes six passengers and twelve pieces of luggage. We present the whole fleet on our fleet page.

Transfer fares in the table include tax and parking; hourly rates include tax. For a journey outside Budapest, our team will send you an exact quote once they know the route, after you book – you will find more on pricing on our prices and FAQ page. If you would like to travel electric, the EQS and the e-Traveller make the same journey with zero local emissions.

Planning

How we plan your journey

  1. Route and time
    You give us the pick-up and drop-off addresses, the date and the time – and, if there are several stops, those too, in the order you plan to visit them.
  2. Passengers and luggage
    Based on the number of passengers and suitcases, we recommend the right vehicle; you can also request a child seat.
  3. One way, return or hourly
    A simple transfer, a return journey on a later day, or a car at your disposal all day – the nature of your programme decides.
  4. Tailored quote
    Our team will be in touch shortly with the final quote and will also agree the details with you.

You can book by phone 24 hours a day, via WhatsApp or by email – we have summarised the details we need and the steps on our booking and quotes page.

From the regions to the capital

From anywhere in Hungary to Budapest and the airport

Our domestic transfers work in the other direction too. For an early-morning flight, it is hard to reach Ferenc Liszt Airport on time by public transport from Debrecen, Pécs or Lake Balaton, and leaving your own car in airport parking for several days often causes more trouble than it saves. In such cases a car leaving in the middle of the night is the simplest solution: you rest in the back seat while your chauffeur takes you via the M0 straight to the terminal.

In the same way, we arrange journeys from the regions to an evening at the theatre, a concert or a sporting event in Budapest – timing the journey home to the end of the performance or match. Passengers arriving at or departing from regional airports, such as Debrecen International Airport or Hévíz–Balaton Airport at Sármellék, near Keszthely and Hévíz, can also request a quote.

The success of a journey out of town rarely depends on the kilometres – far more on whether the departure, the stops and the journey home fit your day precisely. That is what we plan, every single time.

And if your programme crosses the border – from Győr on to Vienna, from Miskolc to Košice, from Sopron into Austria – you will find detailed route descriptions among our international transfers.
