Re: Moving to Budapest - empty van back to London.

Ok, no problem. Until then, can you give me some idea of the volume of things you need moving? I have other people also interested and was wondering if this a full van load (13m3/1300kg) or less?...

Re: Moving to Budapest - empty van back to London.

Sure, very happy to help. My van is still empty from Hungary to the UK. I'm happy to pick up from 2 cu.m. upwards. Regards.

Re: UK commuters

I don't see why I couldn't get a flight. There are about 20 a day to London! And I would always have some advance warning about work.

Re: UK commuters

Sounds a bit extreme but it's fairly well thought through. I have Hungarian parents and speak the language fluently. Budapest is my favourite city and I've lived there before, while rents are an...

UK commuters

Hello All,

I'm wondering if there are any other regular commuters on this forum? I'm moving to Budapest in May and plan to start weekly commutes back to London, at least initially while I am...

Moving to Budapest - empty van back to London.

Hi All,

I'm a UK expat of Hungarian descent, moving to Budapest in April. For convenience I've decided to rent a van and move my own things and I have to take the van back to London when I'm done....

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

I can see your point of view but I do think you're being too paranoid about it. Firstly, I'm not even sure if there are number plate cameras at all terminals. The channel tunnel is a special case...

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

Chipped passports may log you into the country, but you certainly aren't logged out, as the UK is the only country I have ever travelled to in the globe that has no exit controls. As such, they have...

Re: Speeding Fines

Hungarian used cars are very expensive compared to the UK. There are also way too many ex German imports with clocked mileages and discarded service histories. It's not unknown for cars to have 300k...

Re: Speeding Fines

Just to add my tuppence worth, I'm a biker as well. I felt better looked after on two wheels in Budapest than in London. People were more switched on and more respectful about your safety zone. Most...

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

Yes, this is now the plan. Easiest solution in the circumstances! Thanks for everyone's input into the issue. I also wouldn't register as resident.

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

There's nowt wrong with the 16% income tax in Hungary, the problem is with the outrageous social security and pensions contributions they impose on your gross salary. Even worse is the fact that...

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

You're right, you need it with you technically, but for a long time foreign police only wanted to see your driving licence, registration certificate and insurance papers. MOT and road tax didn't...

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

I gather this is a problem in Bulgaria as well, by locals seeking to flout the law. It's exceedingly easy as a foreign national to buy a car in the UK, you just fill in your name and address into the...

Re: Speeding Fines

Wow, it's incredible that they have become so strict in Hungary. I remember the times 10 years ago when virtually any infraction could be sorted out at the roadside with a 10k forint note. I'm not...

Re: Owning Hungarian car without residency?

Thanks for your feedback. I was initially wary about this because I don't want the Hungarian tax office hassling me to ask why I'm not paying taxes in the country if I deem myself 'resident' there....
