Taxis

In general, when taking a taxi while in Budapest the fare is lower if you call the taxi by phone. Take one belonging to a taxi company (e.g. Fotaxi which is also the official airport-city transfer company). When you flag a taxi on the street you should inquire about the fare in advance in order to diminish the risk of unpleasant surprises (price hikes).
