      All legal taxis in Budapest are painted yellow. Since 2013, regulating authorities introduced a **Fixed Tariff** system for the whole city. This means all companies (City Taxi, FÅ‘taxi, Bolt Taxi) MUST charge the exact same per-km and base rate.

      There is no price competition between taxi companies, only competition on service quality and speed. This eliminated price gouging.

      The ride from Liszt Ferenc International Airport (BUD) to the city center is metered but regulated. FÅ‘taxi is the official partner at the Regulated curb, but any pre-ordered company can pick you up.

      Beware of 'hyenas' (freelance unbranded drivers) inside the terminal halls offering rides. Ignore them and go to the FÅ‘taxi booth outside or book an app.
