Top tips when hiring a car in Hungary

  • Understand Insurance Coverage: Ensure you understand the insurance coverage included in your rental agreement. Basic insurance typically covers third-party liability, but you may want to consider purchasing additional coverage for collision damage and theft protection. Review the terms and conditions carefully to avoid any surprises in case of an accident.

  • Check for Restrictions: Be aware of any restrictions or requirements for driving in Hungary. For example, some rental companies may have age restrictions or require an international driving permit (IDP) in addition to your regular driver's license. Make sure you meet all the necessary criteria before booking your rental car.

  • Inspect the Vehicle: Before accepting the car, thoroughly inspect it for any existing damage or issues. Take note of scratches, dents, or other concerns, and ensure they are documented in the rental agreement. Test the lights, brakes, and other essential functions to ensure everything is in working order before you drive off.

  • Familiarize Yourself with Traffic Laws: Familiarize yourself with Hungary's traffic laws, road signs, and driving customs before hitting the road. Pay attention to speed limits, traffic signals, and right-of-way rules. Keep in mind that Hungary drives on the right side of the road, and be prepared for roundabouts, which are common in Hungarian traffic.

  • Compared to most Eastern-European countries, driving in Hungary is considered to be very safe
