Best car rental prices in Budapest airport

Bookingauto (Budapest airport) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Budapest airport can always collect them from the most suitable place.

Options and possibilities:

We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Budapest airport on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible BMW Z4 from us, starting at €61 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Budapest airport. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes Vito might be best - from €68 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, SIXT recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 5 series for €87 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model VW Polo for just €16 per day.

How to minimize costs:

In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

The dynamics of price changes depending on the season

The highest demand for car rental in Budapest airport occurs during the high tourist season - summer.

On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.

For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Toyota Corolla in Budapest airport is €27 per day.

In autumn, the same car costs about €10 per day.

In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a BMW Z4 will cost €61 per day for the duration of the vacation period.

Among budget models, the most demanded in Budapest airport is the VW Polo. The EUROPCAR company rents it out for €16 per day.

For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 5 series will cost about €87 per day.

The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Toyota Rav-4 very cheaply in the autumn for just €32 per day.

It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a Porsche Cayenne, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.
