Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

How to get from central Budapest to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport
By taxi
There is no Uber in Hungary, but you can use another Uber-like ridesharing app here: Bolt. Alternatively, you can call by phone one of the local taxi companies or just take a metered cab at a street taxi stand. Taxi fares are subject of government regulation here. The ride from city center to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport should typically cost about 7200 HUF (26 EUR), however this sum may increase in case of heavy traffic. Language barrier can easily turn into a problem, since Hungarian cabbies rarely speak English or any other foreign language.
By public transport
There are two bus routes connecting Budapest with its international airport. Bus 100E runs to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport from Deák Ferenc Square in the city center. It departs every 15-30 minutes with a 3-hours night interval. Bus 200E departs for the airport from Kőbánya-Kispest metro station at the day time and from Határ út metro station in the night.
By train
There is no train station at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. The closest railway station is Ferihegy, accessible by train from Budapest Nyugati railway station in Budapest. From the Ferihegy station you can reach the airport by bus 200E.
Private transfer
No doubt, the most quick, reliable and convenient option to get from Budapest to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport to the city of Budapest or to any other city within Hungary would be a private transfer. If you book and pre-pay your transfer in advance, you have nothing more to worry about. Your driver will meet you at the door of your hotel, will assist you with your luggage and will safely drive you to the airport.
Although there are many companies offering airport transfers in Budapest, we recommend you to choose WelcomeTaxi, since unlike many other competitors, we can always dispatch an English-speaking driver to you.
