Budapest Airport to Debrecen: Transfers and Taxi

Transfers from Budapest Airport to Debrecen

Located in the eastern part of Hungary, Debrecen is the second-largest city in the country.

The quickest and most comfortable travel option to get to Debrecen from Budapest Airport is a private transfer. Booking a transfer will allow you to:

• Get to the city as fast as possible. You won’t have to spend your time in a line at the taxi booth or at public transport stops. When your flight arrives, your transfer driver will already be inside the terminal waiting for you. Besides, there won’t be any unnecessary stops along the route.
• Not bother with the currency exchange. You can prepay for your transfer with your debit or credit card in the desired currency and thus spend less time at the air hub.
• Avoid possible language problems. Not all airport cab drivers are good at English, so it might be difficult to explain some small details to them. With a transfer, you don’t have to be afraid of that: your driver will receive all the information needed beforehand.

Taxi from Budapest Airport to Debrecen

Be careful when taking a taxi at the air hub: avoid unlicensed taxi drivers, as they often rip passengers off. Licensed cabs can be booked via the Fotaxi booths outside the terminal (the stand can also be found there). Taxi rates are metered: they consist of the starting fare, the cost per km, and the waiting fee (it applies when waiting in traffic).

The average taxi fare from Budapest Airport to Debrecen is 73,000 HUF or 204 euros.

If you arrive at the airport at night hours, be ready that it might not be easy to find an available cab at the stand. Also, payments are usually made in Hungarian forint, so it’s better to buy some in advance (sometimes, drivers accept euros, but their exchange rate is usually not good for passengers). If you’re a large group, you may have difficulties finding the suitable taxi at the rank, as local cabs are usually sedans (even if you find a van, it’s most likely to have 7-8 seats only). Reserving a transfer will help you avoid all these difficulties: on the Kiwitaxi website, you can choose the vehicle that suits all your travel needs and prepay for it in the currency that suits you best.
