Taxi companies

Taxis are the best way to get from A to B in Budapest as they are quite cheap and you don't have to worry which way to go. Nevertheless there are many taxi companies trying to ripp tourists off and make some extra money. phenomenon which I haven't seen anywhere else is that the taxi is cheaper if you call it by phone than if you catch it on the street or let the hotel call it. Also pay attention on where the taxi driver is going with you as some try to cheat and take longer ways to earn more money but that is usually not the case. Therefore it is useful to always have the number of your favourite taxi company with you just in case you need a taxi. The companies listed below are all reliable and speak English so you can choose which ever sounds best to you.
