Parking fee rates
It is important to know that pay-and-display ticket machines give a ticket on the payment of the sum equal to the parking fee for 15 minutes at least, rounded up to HUF 5.
The full parking fee does not have to be paid for every hour commenced.

The maximum parking time is 3 hours in the whole District,
except for the Pest lower wharf (Pesti alsó rakpart), where there is no time limit.

Parking fees have to be paid in advance, at the start of the parking.
The parking fee can be paid by cash or parking card with the pay-and-display ticket machines. The ticket has to be displayed behind the vehicle's front windshield, in a place where it can be seen in its entirety, with the information side up.

Parking fees can be paid by mobile phone, too. For this, you need to register with First Mobile Payment Clearing Private Co. Ltd. (EME Zrt), or to use the so-called 'ad-hoc payment service' offered by mobile phone operators. Click here for details.
