#When heading west (M7 to [[Balaton]] or M1 to [[Austria]] and [[Slovakia]]), you should take bus 272 from ''Kosztolányi Dezső tér'' or ''Sasadi út'' and get off at the stop ''Budaörs, benzinkút''. It stops right in the Agip service station with a lot of traffic to both motorways. The journey takes 20 minutes. It can be a great place if you get a chance to talk to drivers, though the staff of the petrol station may not allow it. Note: This is a bad spot, even though it looks perfect - it's next to the highway, but most cars come there from the small local road and are driving only in the vicinity. Went from there 4 times, waiting time from 1h to 3.5h, the gas station 4km earlier proved much better, see below.

# The best option, tried several times. This gas station is at the very beginning of the highway that few kms later splits into highways M1 and M7. Many cars stop here also because of the McD's (thumbing at the exit works well, as many cars go only to McD's and do not tank). To get there from the center of the Pest side, take bus 239**** from one of these stops: Uránia / Astoria / Ferenciek tere, get off at Sasadi út. From Buda side, you can take bus 240 from Móricz Zsigmond körtér or from Kosztolányi Dezső tér, get off at Sasadi út. The gas station is 2mins of walk in the direction the bus was going. Another option, you can take bus 7E, 107E from Keleti pályaudvar -> Blaha Lujza tér -> Ferenciek tere -> Móricz Zsigmond körtér -> Kosztolányi Dezső tér and get off at the terminal station, the Budapest-Kelenföld train station (Kelenföld vasútállomás). The gas station is ~8mins of walk from there. At the train station, walk through the underpass and then follow in that direction until you reach the big busy road Budaörsi út. It's the beginning of the highway, you should see the OMV sign.

#Starting from inside the city (between Moszkva tér and Kelenföld) is a possibility worth trying, especially because there are some good spots that are quite popular among local hitchhikers.

# There is another OMV petrol station which is even closer to the city center. It is situated at the beginning of the street ''Budaörsi út''. You can reach it easily by walking across the big white suspension bridge, from Pest towards the Citadel, or by taking tram 61 from the square ''Moszkva tér''. Coming from the Pest side you could also take bus 112. There is a lot of traffic to the M1 and M7.
