Booked my Car Hire through 121 Car Hire 24 hours before hiring a car. Reasonable price, easy to use web-site. Haven't had a chance to check e-mail confirmation of provider, 121 done it all for me over the phone at my Destination. Just perfect. Car was good, paperwork easy, money reasonable. Thanks, 121!

Value for money

Collection and drop off great. Car was quite high mileage, but I guess you get what you pay for. Not particularly happy about the 10 euro charge for cleaning, after all I'm not going to try find a car wash at 4am in a country I'm not familiar with. Friendly staff.

Very friendly staff. Picked up promptly from the airport and car hire only a couple of minutes from the airport. Website stated car fuel was 1/4 full and return 1/4 full. But this did not happen. I was told by easirent that I had to pay for 1/4 tank (they charged £20) and return empty. However the tank was not quite 1/4 full.

You are what you say you are

Very easy booking system with clear information. Pick up and drop off were easy. We had a very new car which was above our expectations. An agent was waiting for us at pick up and drop off and dealt with us speedily. Do make sure you have enough credit availability for the guarantee for the excess, if you don't take the extra insurance. we were 100% satisfied.

Could have been better

The website great, easy to book, print vouchers and that's it. Our car-hire company was KlassWagen Auto - positive: easy to collect, polite, friendly customer service. They speak English very well. Car was clean condition. Good fuel policy (full to full), no out of service hours charge - eg: our flight was landed at 9pm and she was very helpful and no extra charge for late collection. Negative: Where to start......well you need to pay 30euro for winter tyre - which let's say fair enough BUT the winter tyre were AWFULLL-NO tread design in the middle at all(it was flat) it's seriously dangerous to drive a car like that in winter/snowy condition. They charge every single time 30euro Why didn't you change the tires?????? The car was so noisy when we were sitting inside -like an airplane, because of the tires I guess. When we drove the car the steering wheel was kind of shaking in your hand- I guess again because of the tyre. She said we need to return the car in clean condition.... WTF?!? I never heard such a thing ever. Otherwise it will be a charge or something...... no comment. Also we didn't complain at the scene because what can they do at 9-10pm at the airport, and we were exhausted with the children. When we returned again we were hurry to check in and go. Just a lesson for a future to our self. Probably it's depend which car you get. I would not recommend this car at all. Customer service good. But certainly they need to take more attention for technical issues with older cars. And please don't save the money on winter tyres 2 adults and 2 children life valued more than 30euro.

We have used 121

We have used 121 car hire on numerous occasion and always found them to be extremely helpful. The vehicles are always excellent and the staff vey helpful. The service has improved as they are now based within the airport so avoiding having to travel to a pick-up and drop-off location by bus. The only criticism would be that the valentine of the vehicles is obvious carried out by untrained staff - the windows are often not thoroughly cleaned and the interior dashboard on one particular vehicles had obvious only been given a cursory wipe over as it looked greasy.

A great deal all round!

We had a very smooth and efficient pickup. The price was excellent as was the vehicle. I also bought the online insurance as it was better value than buying at the counter - the only downside being that the insurance (in the event of a claim) would have had to be claimed back after payment had been settled up front.

Location information for Budapest

Dubbed as “The Paris of the East”, Budapest is Hungary's capital that is home to a plethora of charming old structures that boast great historical value. Its main city is divided in two sections, with Pest at the Danube banks' northern part while Buda offering more of the city's history at the Danube's southern part. Cheap car hire in Budapest allows visitors to tour both areas more conveniently.

The key landmark of Budapest is the Hösök tere or the Heroes' Square. It serves as a good base for exploring the city since from there, visitors can already see the Imre Varga Collection (Varga Imre Gyüjtemény) where the pieces from the sculptor can be found.

Budapest is home to renowned figures like Kun, and visitors can enjoy viewing his Hungarian folk art collection in the Zsigmond Kun Folk Art Museum (Lakásmúzeum) where he once lived. Driving over to Buda, visitors can see the walled Castle district where a medieval town stands. Inside are more places to see like the Budapest Historical Museum, the Royal Palace, and the Hungarian National Gallery and Library. There is also the Gothic St. Matthias Church that is already 700 years old.

Budapest is also known for its spas and hot springs, and visitors are welcome to spend a relaxing day in classic Turkish baths like the Rudas Baths and the exclusive Kiraly Baths for women. The FMH Cultural House and Marczibanyi Square Cultural House are good venues to experience Hungarian folk dance and music. For young travellers, a trip to the Children's Railroad (Gyermekvasut) is a good option.

Just outside Budapest are more places to visit with the help of car rental. Cheap car hire in Budapest can take travellers to Palatinus Strand, a well-situated beach in the heart of Margaret Island. Visiting the historical towns like Szentendre also makes a good option for a day trip.
