For us, renting a car for visits outside the city is important; many people would not be comfortable with doing this. George speaks Hungarian and we visit Hungary regularly. We love Budapest and look forward to our next visit. There is so much to see in the country -- in all directions from Budapest. It is easier to drive outside the city and worth it.

I love Klaswagen
I love Klaswagen, so booked a car to pick up on 29th of April from Timisoara, however, I missed the point that I booked via Wizzair. Unfortunately due to an objective reason I had to cancel my flight and to rebook for another destination. Although the booking was via Wizzair, however, I have got an amazing service in Sibiu, they kindly without any extra charge, they transferred my booking to Klaswagen Sibiu. A lovely lady called Magdalena who kindly helped in a very short time, and then I got another medical emergency which obliged me to return back to London before my planned date, again another Klaswagen employee Timothy was amazing, he facilitate my logistics and I have been able without hassle to get back however, receiving a voucher for my remaining days. They. Are just amazing.
