Arrivals
Budapest handles almost all passenger flights from Terminal 2 (2A for Schengen, 2B for non-Schengen), joined by the SkyCourt hall. After passport control and baggage reclaim, follow the signs into the ground-floor arrivals hall. Your e-ticket lists your exact meeting point and a phone number to call if you cannot see your driver.
Private transfers
Your driver waits in the Terminal 2 arrivals hall, just past the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name or the 'hoppa' logo.
Shared shuttles & coaches
Walk to the pickup zone outside arrivals for the shared shuttle and coach pickup point. Follow the signs, not the taxi rank.
Delays & Driver Info
1
Free waiting time
Your driver waits up to 60 minutes after your scheduled landing, with an additional 30-minute buffer once you have cleared passport control — useful when the queues at the 2B non-Schengen gates are long.
Delayed or diverted?
Your driver tracks your flight from the moment you board. If weather diverts you to Vienna or another airport, they know before you land and will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pickup — there is nothing for you to do.
