“Asked around and got picked quickly by Hungarian lady. Amazing spot being in the city center”

“Asked around at the gas station. Many lovely people willing to take you somewhere but not many going to Bratislava or Budapest. Waited 15min and got a ride to the next gas station which I recommend more.”

“there is a MC DONALDS restaurant next to the gasstation seen on the image. if you wait in front of it (or even inside) there is many drivers comming in and out. i wanted to go in winter 2010 (january) to gyoer (hungary) and it took me 20 minutes to find someone. the car was going to romania (via budapest and cluj-napoca) and the driver was offering me a ride much further than to the 110 kilometer ”

“Lots of cars going East, but need to be aggressive in asking while they are stationary. Cars going East will be turning on the curve at high speed with little space to stop.”

“This spot is okay. We(a cute girl and a hairy guy) had no sign, but got the first offer after ten minutes, unfortunately they only went to the other side of the Hungarian boarder. Our plan was to go to Bratislava, but when we 20 minutes later got a ride to budapest we changed plans. All in all, this spot is great.”

“it is easy to find a car to Budapest. just stay the station door and ask peaople. it took just five minutes for budapest on 23th of December 2011”

“In 5 minutes I found a driver who was going to Neusiedl and I asked him to take me to the next Raststation, but he was so nice that he took me to the gas station at Nickelsdorf. There I found a ride to Timisoara, Romania in another 5 minutes.”

“Very good place to catch cars to Bratislava and Budapest, but the thing is to persuade people (almost intrusive, but polite). Watch out for licence plates of cars and you will find what you want :)”
― Prosektor, Tue 2013-07-30 · Raststation Simmering
“That is a poor spot to catch a car to Hungary on Sunday morning. What's more please be carefull if see the police and don't go across the highway, even if there is no car!! Unless you like to pay 100EUR!”
― Czlowieczki, Sat 2015-10-24 · Raststation Simmering
“Good spot, found a ride to Bratislava in about 30 minutes.”
