Are you in Budapest and wondering how to get around in the city? Beside the well known walking, tour bus, and public transportation offers, we tried to cover all existing shared mobility vehicle and company, which available in Budapest nowadays.
Shared bike rental
Oldest first. The shared bike rental called MOL Bubi. It is a docked version of bike rentals, you need to register first at any BKK (the budapest transport company) office where they block 25000HUF on your card. Different passes available from 24hrs to annual, from 500HUF (around 1.5 EUR).
The usage area is pretty big. MOL Bubi has 127 stations and 1546 bikes. So you can use it most of all major areas of Budapest. MOL Bubi in english.
Car sharing
Two players are on this market. First was GreenGo and than MOLLimo (yes, another brand of MOL, the hungarian oil company) came. GreenGo offers only electric cars (VW eUP), while MOLLimo has a mixed fleet of eUPs, VW UPs with petrol engine and Mercedes A series with petrol engine also.
You have to register first with your ID/Driving Licence (you have to go personally into their offices in downtown), than you can use it with an app on per minute base. No parking, petrol needs to pay.
GreenGo starts at 65 HUF/min (0.25 cent). MOLLimo starts at 66 HUF/min.
The biggest disadvantage is the area you can use it as limited to downtown, not reach places like Budapest Airport either.
UPDATE!
DriveNow carshare available in Budapest with BMW/Mini cars, no all electric (i3s are coming later) for similar plans (based on minutes).
Electric Scooter
Electric shared scooters available in many pick up area in Budapest. It is not a dockless system anymore, you should park your vehicle in a pick up/drop off area (show on the app)
There are restricted zones also.
Meantime Lime scooters are available on public beta test on several points of Budapest. These are reachable through the LimeApp.Uber, Bolt taxi app
Uber is not working in Budapest. Bolt (former Taxify) is a taxi company based on app. It works on normal taxi fares, but more visibility added, so probably you won't take a rouge driver with high extra fares. Simply you can download the app, than order a cab.
Taxi fares are fixed in Budapest, 700HUF (2.5 EUR) as base fare, and add 300HUF (1EUR)/km or 75HUF/min. (0.25EUR) waiting fee.
