Hungary Car Rental Mini Guide

Driving in Hungary offers travelers the freedom to explore the country's rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes at their own pace. Hungary's road network is well-maintained, with smooth highways connecting major cities like Budapest, Debrecen, and Szeged. The distances between international airports and city centers are relatively short, with Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport located about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Budapest's city center. Renting a car provides convenience for reaching your destination quickly and efficiently.

Hungary follows right-hand driving, and seat belts are mandatory for all passengers. Speed limits are typically 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on rural roads, and 130 km/h on highways, but always adhere to posted limits. Hungary has strict laws against drunk driving, with a legal blood alcohol limit of 0.00% for drivers under 21 and 0.05% for those over 21. Mobile phone usage while driving is prohibited unless you have a hands-free device. With a rental car, you can explore Hungary's diverse attractions, from the historic architecture of Budapest to the serene beauty of Lake Balaton and the charming wine regions of Eger and Tokaj. Enjoy the flexibility to discover hidden gems, picturesque villages, and cultural treasures as you traverse this captivating European destination.
