About Us
Direct from local operators, since 2018
Our Story
The Low Budget was founded in Istanbul in 2018, in one of the busiest airport transfer markets in the world. Working day to day with local operators taught us where the real cost of a transfer sits — and how much of what a passenger pays never reaches the company doing the driving.
In 2025 we moved our operations to Dubai and rebuilt the company around one idea: connect travellers straight to the transfer companies that already serve their route, and pass the saving on. No inflated middleman pricing, and no surprise charges at the end of the ride.
Today we work in partnership with Trip.com and a network of vetted local operators in more than 10 countries. Every price you see comes from a company that actually drives the route — which is why the fare you confirm is the fare you pay.
Our Services
We cover airport pickups, airport drop-offs, hotel and city-centre transfers across Turkey, Georgia, Czechia, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, Switzerland, Serbia, Montenegro and Egypt, among others. Istanbul, Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Zurich, Tbilisi and Cairo are among our busiest routes.
Because our prices come straight from local operators, our coverage grows as the partner network grows. If a route is listed on this site, a real transfer company has already committed to serving it.
Our Values
Reliability
Flight tracking on every arrival, and a driver who waits if you are delayed.
Transparency
The price you confirm is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no end-of-ride surprises.
Local Expertise
Vetted operators who know their own city, not a call centre far away.
