Vienna Airport lies on the eastern edge of the city, already on the way to Hungary, which makes it a convenient arrival point for groups heading to Budapest. River cruise passengers, incentive groups, choirs on tour and congress delegates all use this transfer. The coach covers about 228 km in about 2 h 50 min, with no mandatory break.
East along the Danube into Hungary
The coach leaves Schwechat eastwards, crosses the Austrian-Hungarian border and continues across northern Hungary into Budapest. Austria and Hungary are both in Schengen, so there is no routine passport control, though every passenger should carry an ID card or passport. The coach pays the Austrian and Hungarian electronic tolls. The transfer usually runs straight through; a short comfort stop is easy to add if the group asks.
Hotels, ships and event venues
Budapest drop-offs vary a lot: a hotel on either bank, a river cruise pier or a conference centre. Send us the exact address with your enquiry and the driver plans the approach in advance. Include the flight number too, so the pick-up follows your actual landing if the flight runs late. The hold takes suitcases up to 30 kg each, along with instrument cases or exhibition material. One coach for 49 to 53 passengers keeps the group together, which matters when everyone needs to check in at the same time.
Because our coaches are based in Poprad, Slovakia, the quote includes driving to Vienna Airport for the pick-up. Booking steps are on the airport transfer page.
