EXIT FESTIVAL 2010 AIRPORT TRANSFERS: now all fully booked - sorry!

How To Get There

If you've been wondering how to get to EXIT festival, well there are many different options available. We've brought together some of the ways to get to EXIT festival here.

FLYING
Budget Airlines, Easy Jet or Wizzair to BUDAPEST, HUNGARY is a popular route as some may want to take a look round Budapest before or after the festival.
It is cheap in comparison and is a top destination for these airlines. Lots of other airlines fly there too but are more expensive.

New for 2010 - Ryan Air are offering flights to Osijek Airport. Probably the cheapest flight travel to EXIT. Fly to Frankfurt, Germany and then on to Osijek, Croatia. Osijek is just 80 miles from Novi Sad and EXIT Festival.
Coach transfers meeting these flights are priced at £18 one way.

Budapest is 200miles from Novi Sad and there is a border crossing which can be a bit of a nightmare. There is a 5.5 hr minibus transfer - direct from the airport to Novi Sad or the journey time can be considerably longer if you go by coach. There are also trains twice a day from Budapest to Novi Sad. There is a regular shuttle service from Budapest airport to the train station.

Alternatively fly to other eastern European capitals and then train it to Novi Sad. Longer journey

Fly to Belgrade direct using either National airline Jat or BA. This is pricey but Belgrade is only 50 miles from Novi Sad. From Belgrade taxi share or minibus is the quickest. Or take the shuttle to Belgrade City train or coach station.

A cheaper way to Belgrade might be by using other European airlines with a stop over in Germany or Switzerland then onto Belgrade Remember there is a couple of hours wait at interlinking airports.

What are the choices for airport transfers?

Please note that all seats are now fully booked for tranfers for the 2010 Festival.
We offer a transfer services using small vehicles (8-19 seaters) - alternatively there are cheaper coach services. Although our services cost more we recommend them for the following reasons:

Mainline Coaches have known to take 10-12 hours to get to their destination instead of the 6 hours the journey is supposeed to take. This is mainly due to the border crossing procedure for larger vehicles which can have long delays because of the above average movement of transport due to Exit Festival. Additionally they are only available at fixed flight arrivals serviced by the Budget Airlines.

Being smaller we can be far more flexible on times and cover more flights which means far less hanging around time!

We only arrange private transfers with smaller vehicles which has these benefits:
A 19 seater is 3 times quicker to load and unload because it is much easier to gather 18 passengers than 54 passengers.
A smaller vehicle is much quicker through border crossings customs and passport control.
Also our smaller vehicles deliver and collect door to door so passengers do not need to worry about getting to rendezvous points or missing their ride.

Last year our Budapest 7-8 seaters sailed through border crossing leaving the coach companies queuing.
From Belgrade we use a regular taxi company that ensures you are whisked away to your destination without waiting around.
While it is true that our prices are higher than the coach companies we feel the advantages and benefits of our service in terms of speed of transfer and shorter journey times outweigh the additional costs. In short - We prefer to get everyone to their destinations in the shortest time possible and quickly
