There are some private taxies who work with expensive rates but you can avoid them if you check few things before you get in one of them. The rates should be shown at the rear window all the time. If you just take one from the street, they are more expensive, so rather call one by phone. Here we list some of the reliable companies so you won't be disappointed. Please note that There is a surcarge of 300HUF at all companies as a standby fee. All listed operators speak English.
