Getting a taxi at Kelenföld Train Station

I would appreciate guidance on finding the taxi rank at Kelenföld Train Station. Thank you!

But I would download the CityTaxi App and use the app to request a taxi. https://citytaxi.hu/en/home/
Or take public transportation if you dont have a lot of luggage. The M4 and the 49 Tram both go there.

Other options are Bolt and Uber. I believe your US apps will work. The difference in Budapest is that Bolt and Uber are yellow taxis held to the same requirements as any other taxi. They have meters and charge the same fixed rate as does any typical taxi company. But they are fine. Fotaxi is another good company. I just happen to prefer CityTaxi as they have taken care of me for nearly 20 years without incident.

Great question!
We just got a quote for a private transfer from Kelenfold to Downtown Pest hotel of €150.
I too will be grateful for guidance.
Thanks

I second City Taxi if you can’t manage the metro or tram. Set it the app before you leave home. But you will need data to use it when you arrive.

I am having trouble imagining what €150 would get you!

Perhaps a bottle of champagne on ice and a bit of caviar to snack on?
