Great spot to get a ride to Budapest. A lot of German and Austrian cars that are open to take hitchhikers

Waited for almost two hours. Eventually a taxi driver took us to the airport for free where we instantly got a ride. I don’t recommend this spot even though there are some people going to Budapest or Bratislava

Great spot for Zagreb but nobody goes towards budapest. We had to wait 2 hours for a guy to take us to a better spot

Maybe we were unlucky. Only local traffic and nobody going to the highway. After nearly two hours someone took us 20 minutes to Hungary where we took a train to Budapest.

Basically dead spot because all the traffic is on the highway. Avoid going there if you want to go to the direction of Budapest! Got dropped off here just to wait for two hours and finally took a ride back to Kosice

We were so unlucky, we even had to sleep there. The officers wont let you past the tolls but they were nice and offered us water. Almost zero traffic towards Budapest and cars go fast

Great spot to Budapest, I would recommend taking this road instead of the highway

Hungarians are not really willing to take you anywhere. Not a lot of people going outside Budapest. We were waiting here for 5 hours

only cars to budapest. do this: get to gas station as close to budapest, but before the turn to austria/slovakia and continue there. worked for me.

A lot of traffic to Prague, Bratislava or even Budapest. And of course to Poland. It is worth to wait direct car to the border and further, than accept local commute rides.

Stood here for a good 6 hours trying to get a lift to Zagreb. We weren't offered a single ride (even after dropping our sign), until we finally got one all the day. The driver (a local from Budapest who apparently often drives from Budapest to Zagreb) said it's probably not a good spot for people wanting to go to Croatia.
