Car Hire in Balaton Lake Airport - Mini guide to Balaton Lake Airport
Hungary's second largest airport, Sarmellek International Airport sometimes referred to as FlyBalaton Airport, is located to the west of Lake Balaton. The region around the lake is the country's busiest holiday resort area with many visitors taking advantage of cheap car hire in Balaton Lake Airport to visit the local spas of Zalakaros and HevĂz.
The airport was, for many years, used as a military facility. The Hungarian's made use of it until 1960 when the Soviets took over and operated from there until 1990. It began flying commercially in 1991 and has regular flights to many major European destinations.
The airport isn't very big by international standards and although facilities are adequate passengers will not be spoilt for choice when it comes to food and drink options. There are a couple of internet access points available where you can catch up on emails. Taxis and buses are available for transfers but car rental at Balaton Lake Airport is a good alternative.
On a clear day you can just make out the edge of the lake from the airport and with car hire at Balaton Lake Airport you can reach the shoreline very quickly.
