There is an OMV [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] on the motorway to Budapest where you can easily find a ride to Bratislava or further into [[Slovakia]].
To get to this petrol station by public transport you should get to ''Enkplatz'' (by Metro U3) and from there you can take a bus number 76A to ''7. Haidequerstraße''. Be careful because there are two stops with the same name, ''7. Haidequerstraße'' and ''11. Haidequerstraße'' – get off at the first one, which comes after ''Simmeringer Haide''. After the stop, the bus turns right, but to get to the petrol station, walk straight on on ''Haidequerstraße'' to the north for a couple of minutes. The petrol station is on the [[A4 (Austria)|A4]] highway towards Bratislava, Győr and Budapest.
''It is easy to reach this gas station. A sign (I had one for Bratislava) is useful as I just walked to the station holding my sign and looking around a bit to find a good spot to stand, and a driver came to me and offered a ride.''
Most of the cars passing in this petrol station are coming off the motorway or going to the airport. You can get more cars going to [[Slovakia]] or [[Hungary]] if you take the first ride to the next petrol station on the motorway, named Göttlesbrunn, which is just before road splits into the E58 towards Bratislava and the E60 towards Budapest. The E60 road enters Hungary at the [[Hegyeshalom-Nickelsdorf border crossing]].
