City Taxi Updates Budapest Taxi Fares & Management
City Taxi has announced an update to its official Budapest taxi tariffs, with new prices set to take effect from 1 August 2026.

According to a notice issued on 15 July 2026, the base fare will rise to HUF 1,300, while the airport base fare will be HUF 2,100. The company said the airport base fare applies to all trips starting from or ending at Liszt Ferenc International Airport.

The time-based fare will be HUF 130 per minute, and the distance-based fare will be HUF 520 per kilometre.

The company also confirmed changes in its management structure. The new Board of Directors consists of Székely György Zoltán as Chairman of the Board and Csákvári Attila Gábor as Member of the Board.

City Taxi asked partners to update their own records and databases to reflect the new tariffs and management details, and said it looks forward to continuing its cooperation in the future.

More about City Taxi

City Taxi Fuvarszervező Szövetkezet was established in 1982, as the first private taxi company. The objective of the company established then was to offer reliable services at fair prices. However, the market has proved that there is a need for excellent quality in passenger transportation too.

Our company was the first to react to market demant in the 1990s and aimed at quality services in addition to the reliability of service.

In order to achieve this goal, we continuously developed our vehicle pool, trained our drivers and developed very strict internal regulations.

The Co-operative is managed by a three-member Board of Directors, elected by the General Assembly and is led by the Chairman. The activities are controlled by a three-member Supervisory Board, which is also elected by the General Assembly.

As a result of continuous development, by now the number of subcontractors has reached 650, while the Co-operative has more than 400. Since the members of the Co-operative own the company and the subcontractors also have an option to become co-operative members later, in accordance with the regulations of the Articles of Association, their commitment to quality services is guaranteed.

This approach, which fundamentally differs from the approach adopted by the other taxi companies operating on the market, has enabled City Taxi to be the market leading taxi company in Budapest and become an attractive workplace for taxi drivers too.
