Enterprise car hire locations - Budapest

Car rental in Budapest is advisable because the city is quite large, making it too tiresome to explore by foot. Thankfully, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has a branch at the city's international airport, as well as another branch conveniently located on Alkotas Utca, near the central railway station. With the majestic Danube flowing through it, Budapest is one of central Europe's most populous cities. It is the seat of the Hungarian parliament and has many national institutions located in the capital city. The city is split up into numbered districts, making it easy to navigate by road. Most of Budapest's large hotels are located in the Inner City district, which is close to the river. The city is known for its spas and wellness centres, as well as its magnificent cultural heritage, making it a superb place for a long-weekend getaway and for a more prolonged stay.

At the Airport

Budapest's Ferenc Liszt International Airport is the city's main transportation hub. It's located in the eastern part of the city and is a short drive from central Budapest. Enterprise's conveniently located airport branch is situated near the tourist information centre in the main terminal building, making it very easy to find. Having a car rental in Budapest allows you to easily navigate into the city via one of its radial routes, which will all criss-cross one of the city's ring roads. The best one to take from the airport is route number 4. Bratislava Airport, in Slovakia, is another arrival point that some visitors might opt for, as it's only about a two-hour drive from Budapest.

Attractions in Budapest

The banks of the Danube is one of the city's main attractions. Several old bridges span the river which constitutes a tourist attraction in its own right. Don't miss out on dining on one of the restaurant riverboats, which you can find moored up on both banks of the Danube. Margaret Island, in the middle of the river, is also a great place to see. There, visitors can enjoy superb parks and the city's outdoor Olympic pool. Andrássy út, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a tree-lined avenue with plenty of shops and restaurants to explore.

Cheap Car Hire in Budapest

For visitors looking for a great deal on a car hire in Budapest, the staff at Enterprise will be more than happy to assist. There are lots of special offers to take advantage of, depending on demand. One of the best ways of securing a great deal on a car rental is to hire a weekend special, often offered at special rates, as this is when many business visitors tend to leave the city. A good tip is to look online for good quotations well before you travel to Budapest. Pre-booking in advance can often secure the best possible price, making it cheaper than simply turning up at Enterprise and renting a car on the spot.

Places to Visit Outside Budapest

The Sziget Festival is one of the chief reasons that tourists come to the city. It is among the largest outdoor music festivals in Europe, and it's hosted every year in the leafy suburbs north of the capital city. To the southwest of Budapest, you can explore Lake Balaton and the national park that surrounds it, which is well worth a day trip. It's only about 30 miles away along the E71. Alternatively, you can head north to the quaint town of Vác, where you'll discover a true flavour of the country of Hungary.

Parking and Traffic Information in Budapest

A busy city, Budapest's roads have cars, trucks, and trolley buses, all competing for road space. However, if you avoid typical rush hour times, then it's not too hard to rapidly get around. On-street parking is free on weekends, but you'll have to pay for parking Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 6 pm. In central Budapest, parking areas are designated as zones one, two, and three, with a maximum parking limit time placed at three hours.
