By car

In Hungary four interstate highways and four main roads leave from Budapest (except the main road 8).

It is obligatory to have a toll-road sticker for all highways (available at the frontier and at gas stations). The sticker for 10-day duration is approx. 6000-7000 HUF (approx.€15-18).

The same rules of the road apply as in the other European countries. However, here are some rules tourist must stick to: the speed limit in town is 50km/h, outside of living space 90km/h and on highways 110km/h. In town honking is only permitted in justified cases. Drinking and driving is punished very strictly.

 

Ridesharing

Oszkár is the most liked ridesharing website in Hungary. As driver, you can post your offer in a few seconds, while as passenger, you can search among the drivers' offers.
