About the route

What you should know about the journey from Košice.

Route and travel time

The most efficient route from Košice to Budapest runs along the Slovak R4 motorway through Milhosť onto the Hungarian M30, which joins the main M3 motorway near Miskolc heading to Budapest. The total distance is approximately 320 km and the standard journey time is around 2 hours 40 minutes.

Silverline minibuses run this route every day — the drivers know exactly where delays usually build up and how to avoid them. There's a short refreshment and rest break along the way, so you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed.

The Milhosť — Tornyosnémeti border

The Milhosť/Tornyosnémeti border crossing is open 24/7 within Schengen with no permanent checks. Random ID checks may occasionally take place, so always carry a valid ID card or passport.

In the case of a longer wait (which is extremely rare) we have a back-up route via Vyšné Nemecké and Slovenské Nové Mesto, which extends the journey by at most 30 minutes.

Budapest Airport and the city centre

The destination of the transfer is Ferenc Liszt Airport (BUD) on the south-eastern edge of Budapest. The journey from the Hungarian border to the departure terminals takes around 2.5 hours, depending on traffic on the capital's ring road.

For passengers heading into central Budapest — hotels in the 5th to 9th districts, the conference centre, tourist zones in Pest or Buda — you choose the specific address during booking. The VIP add-on includes direct pickup from your chosen address in Košice.

Vehicle comfort and capacity

Our own fleet of seven-seater Ford Tourneo minibuses guarantees comfort throughout the journey. Air conditioning, USB charging at every seat and a separate boot space for large luggage are all included in the price.

An online booking takes 30 seconds and is available up to 1 hour before the scheduled departure. We hold your seat without immediate payment — confirmation arrives by email within 24 hours before departure.
