Average Car Rental Prices in Hungary

In Hungary, car rental prices can vary widely depending on several factors such as the type of vehicle, rental duration, and the season. On average, visitors and locals might expect to pay anywhere from €25 to €50 per day for an economy car. For those looking for a bit more comfort or space, a mid-range vehicle can cost between €50 and €100 per day.

Prices tend to increase during peak tourist seasons, particularly in the summer months and around major holidays. Additionally, renting a car from popular locations like Budapest Airport may incur higher fees due to the convenience factor. Further costs could include insurance, taxes, and extras like GPS or child seats.

It's also interesting to note that longer rental periods can significantly reduce the daily rate. Tourists planning extended trips around the country or into neighboring countries might find better deals. However, it's important to be aware that cross-border travel may require additional permissions and fees.

For the best rates, booking in advance is highly recommended, and scouring for online deals or discounts can lead to substantial savings. Moreover, local Hungarian car rental agencies might offer competitive prices compared to international chains.

Frequently Asked Questions | FAQ's

1. Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in Hungary?

While an International Driving Permit (IDP) is not mandatory for all foreign drivers in Hungary, it is highly recommended if your national driver's license is not in Roman alphabet (like Arabic, Greek, Russian, or Chinese). Drivers with licenses issued within the European Union do not require an IDP.

2. What is the minimum age for renting a car in Hungary?

The minimum age to rent a car in Hungary is typically 21 years. However, this may vary by rental company. Additionally, drivers under the age of 25 may be subject to a young driver surcharge.

3. Are there any specific insurance requirements for renting a vehicle in Hungary?

All rental cars in Hungary are required to have third-party liability insurance. You may also want to consider additional coverage like collision damage waiver (CDW) and theft protection for your rental vehicle. Check with your rental company for their specific insurance policies.

4. Can I drive the rented car outside of Hungary?

Many car rental companies allow you to drive the rented vehicle in other European countries, but you should notify the rental company beforehand. Additional cross-border fees and insurance may apply.

5. Are there toll roads in Hungary, and how do I pay for them?

Yes, Hungary has a highway toll system called the "e-Matrica." You have to purchase an e-vignette (electronic toll sticker) that can be bought online, at border crossings, or at gas stations. It's important to make sure that your rental car has a valid e-vignette before traveling on toll roads to avoid fines.

6. Is it possible to rent a car in Hungary with an automatic transmission?

Yes, you can rent cars with automatic transmissions in Hungary, although they may be more expensive and less common than manual transmission vehicles. It is advisable to book well in advance if you require an automatic car.

7. What should I do in case of an accident with my rental car in Hungary?

In case of an accident, call the police immediately (dial 112 for emergencies in Hungary), ensure everyone's safety, and do not leave the scene. Additionally, contact the car rental company for instructions on how to proceed, and fill out the accident report form that is typically provided with your rental paperwork.

8. Can I rent a car with a debit card in Hungary?

While many car rental companies in Hungary prefer credit cards, some do accept debit cards for payment. However, there may be additional requirements like proof of return flight or a higher deposit. Check with the specific rental company for their debit card policies.

9. Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of when renting a car in Hungary?

Always read the rental agreement thoroughly and ask for clarification on any charges that you don't understand. Potential additional costs might include airport fees, additional driver fees, young driver surcharges, insurance, fuel charges, and fees for optional extras like GPS or child seats.

10. Is it necessary to perform an inspection of the vehicle before driving away?

Yes, it is very important to perform a detailed inspection of the rental car before leaving the premises. Check for any existing damages and ensure they are documented on the rental agreement to prevent any disputes upon the return of the vehicle. Take photos of any dents, scratches, or other damages for your records.
