Taking a cab in Budapest is no longer the game of Hungarian Roulette it used to be. Taxi drivers are now legally prohibited from charging more than the following amounts anywhere in Budapest. During daylight hours, a 300 HUF basic fee, 240 HUF per kilometre, and 60 HUF/minute for waiting. At night: 420 HUF basic fee, 336 HUF per kilometer, and 84 HUF/minute for waiting. Taxis are all supposed to have working meters and be able to issue a receipt. The driver will expect a tip from you at the end of the journey.
