We heard and read not once that driving in Budapest is "awful", "of Latino type", "not easy" and even "not for fainthearted". Well, if you compare it to a small German village, then it is of course awful, but if you remember Cairo… As a driver, passenger and pedestrian, I feel comfortable. The only annoyance is the vehicles of police and alike services, which usually turn on all the sirens the car is equipped with when hurrying on business (whatever their business is).

There are not so many rent-a-bike companies in Budapest. The biggest one is Yellow Zebra with office in the city center. Some hotels also rent bikes to their customers, and you can find a rent-a-bike garage on the Margit Island (100 meters to your left from the entrance).

To rent a car in Budapest you may choose either local or world-famous company, but please remember than most companies require drivers to be 21 years of age or older and may ask questions regarding your driving record. The prices vary from 35 to 140 Euros, depending on the company and car you rent.

Budapest international airport Ferihegy is located 24 km east of the city center (30-40 minutes drive from/to V. district). It is a modern airport in all senses: its building, its services and its atmosphere.
