Enjoy the conveniece of car rental in Hungary's Budapest
Car rental in Budapest is highly favored among tourists to explore the “Little Paris of Central Europe”. Its public transport is well-developed, but travelling by car rental in Budapest gives you the freedom and flexibility that no public transport can match. The bridges here serve as the best reference points for orientation when cruising around in a rental car, including Árpád Bridge (the longest bridge in Budapest), Margaret Bridge, Chain Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge, Liberty Bridge, Petofi Bridge and Lágymányosi Bridge. Despite those orientation points, it is still important to bring your GPS device or rent one with the company of your car rental in Budapest when driving across downtown. For example, in most of the crossings of the inner ring road or on the main avenues you cannot turn left. You can rent a car and head north to Eger, a small and charming historic town, situated between the Mátra and Bükk mountains. Or drive to Esztergom, where the biggest basilica of Central Europe is located. If you fancy a relaxing day in the nature, then drive east to Gödöllo , a town full of parks and home to Grassalkovich Kastély, a former Royal Palace.
What you should know when you park your rental car
