21 Car Rental Brands at Budapest Airport (BUD)

Absolutely satisfied with the car rental experience, and the deposit refund was super fast.
A small tip: the deposit for the rental ranges from 1000 to 1200 euros, so make sure your VISA card has sufficient pre-authorization balance.

Originally scheduled for 12:00, but called the front desk at 10:00. Initially, the attitude wasn’t great and they told us to call back later. However, the front desk called us back after 15 minutes to arrange pickup. When we arrived at the rental office, the process was quick with no queues and no hard sell on insurance. The service was very friendly. We got the car early and our return time was extended by one hour.

A very good car rental company with a nice owner. The car was in good condition with just over 60,000 kilometers on it. After returning the car, the owner personally drove us to the airport and gave each of us a big hug.

Picking up the car was very convenient, and there was no queue except for me. The rental company recommended an insurance plan based on my driving route, not the most expensive one, but said it was sufficient. Very nice!

Overall review: Simply amazing! Convenient, hassle-free, safe, and reassuring! Before going abroad, I read various posts about 'things to avoid' and 'common pitfalls,' which made me quite nervous, worrying about potential problems—after all, losses of several thousand euros are not a small deal. To my surprise, everything went smoothly. The staff handling pick-up and drop-off were excellent, and the process was quick. I returned the car locally on the evening of July 31, and the pre-authorization deposit was refunded by 1 AM domestic time. The refund was so prompt that I only noticed it days later when checking my account. Honestly, before the deposit was refunded, I was still concerned about the 'issues car rental companies might bring up' mentioned by others, but when the full deposit was returned, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. With that, my European trip concluded perfectly!

We got a brand-new hybrid car with only 77 kilometers on the odometer and drove it across Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria using a Hong Kong driver’s license to complete the rental paperwork. We covered a total of 3,153 kilometers with an average fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers. At the counter, €1,500 (€1,300 deposit + €200) was frozen on the card, and we paid €91 for the cross-border fee and Hungarian highway toll. The car return process was very straightforward; the staff checked the dashboard, inspected the car from all sides, opened all five doors for a quick check, and then had me sign off. Shortly after, I received the notification that the €1,300 deposit was released. The station wagon's trunk was very practical—it accommodated three 24-inch suitcases with room to close the lid, and for our trip, we packed two 24-inch suitcases, one 20-inch suitcase, and still had space for a backpack. The only downside was that the hybrid car had sluggish acceleration, lacked power for overtaking, and generated significant noise.

The service at the pickup location was very poor. I waited for half an hour without seeing any staff, and the same happened during drop-off—there were many employees slacking off. The counter service was efficient, but their full insurance cost is very high. Full insurance at Schiellar next door is about 25 euros per day, but here it costs 40 euros per day.

It seems that FMC is run by only two guys. After arriving at the airport, we called the number provided, but nobody answered. We contacted QEEQ for assistance, and they suggested trying another number. After getting through, they picked us up at the airport in about 15 minutes and drove us to the FMC location. Their office was in a remote and rundown area, which could be quite scary if picking up the car at night. However, there was no line, and the rental process was completed in a few minutes. An additional 50 euros was charged for international travel.
