Airport Transfer

The shuttle service at Budapest Airport is called AirportShuttle-Minibusz. Their drivers speak foreign languages and always find the shortest route in the city.

Minibuses operate as a shared-ride service, meaning passengers travelling to the same area are carried together. The travelling time is optimized and supervised using our fleet monitoring system, which can display the actual location of every vehicle in real-time.

Reservations can be made personally at the AirportShuttle desks in each terminal or by using the on-line reservation system (airportshuttle.hu) 24 hours before your flight departure time.
