Car rental Central Hungary

Driving tips and recommendations

Vehicle Class

Considering the good condition of roads in Hungary, all kinds of vehicles are suitable. Compact cars can navigate through old, narrow streets of the cities, whereas SUVs might be the better choice for rural regions or during winter.

Traffic Rules and Speed Limits

Keep in mind that you'll be driving on the right side of the road, setting a significant change from the UK system. Speed limits typically range from 50 km/h in urban areas to 90 km/h in rural areas and 130 km/h on motorways. Remember, seat belts are mandatory, and avoid using your phone while driving unless it's hands-free.

Set your own course

Having a rental car gives you the flexibility to uncover gems of Central Hungary that are off the beaten track.

Attractions

Make a visit to the royal palace of Gödöllő or delve into Hungary's history at the Hungarian Open Air Museum. Wine lovers shouldn't miss out on a trip to Etyek, known as Hungary's 'vineyard of Budapest'.

Driving Routes

Plan your journey along the 'Blue Ribbon' route, leading you around Lake Balaton, Central Europe's largest freshwater lake. Or for a cultural exploration, drive the Danube Bend, a scenic route flourishing with historic towns and fortresses.

Knock, knock - Seasons are a-changing

Every season in Central Hungary has its unique charm. Enjoy beautiful orchards in spring, balmy summer evenings, colorful autumn vineyards, or wintry thermal baths.

Hungarian Forints and Festive Lints

While Hungary is part of the European Union, it still uses its currency, the Forint (HUF), rather than Euro. Look forward to annual festivals like the Budapest Spring Festival or the Wine and Champagne Festival in Etyek for a taste of Hungarian hospitality and cultural charm.
