Sure, that is not a problem, actually you can do it via self-service on the booking. At the end of the booking process please tick the “I need an invoice” button and fill out the data required.

Our booking system (Fareharbor) is unable to generate the financial receipt needed for the payment by the relevant Hungarian laws. Therefore we use a separate service to create and send you a receipt (or invoice when you requested) from szamlazz.hu that is sent in a separate, second email.

Due to technical constraint modification/amendment of the invoice is only possible by manual method within 7 days from the issue thereof, therefore you are requested to double check the details given before clicking the button.

Probably you have noticed the sums on the receipt/invoice is different than the sums on the card charge. The difference comes from the booking fee charged by Fareharbor direct.
The total sum you have paid comes from the fees paid for the service (Fareharbor indicates that as Subtotal) and the booking fee for the platform (Fareharbor indicates that as Fee). We can only provide invoice on the first one as that is the service we provide.
In case you need an invoice on the booking fee (Fee) you need to contact with Fareharbor direct by a form or an email.

No, unfortunately we can not accept Budapest Card.
