Would you call me a taxi, please? I’m going to … .  – Tudna hívni nekem egy taxit? ….-ba/-be/-hoz/-hez/-höz megyek.
Could you give me the number for a taxi service? – Meg tudná adni egy taxitársaság telefonszámát?

Calling a taxi yourself – Ha magunknak hívunk taxit

When the dispatcher answers, you will hear something like “Radio Taxi. How can I help you?” or “4×4 Taxi. Where are you located?”You will need to tell the dispatcher the address of where you are (your location) and where you are going (your destination).

for example:

Can I get a taxi to the airport? I’m at the Four Seasons, in downtown Budapest. – Kaphatnék egy taxit a reptérre? A Four Seasons-nél vagyok, Budapest belvárosában.

Questions for a taxi dispatcher – Kérdések a diszpécser felé

Can I schedule a taxi pick-up for 6 am tomorrow? – Kaphatnék egy kocsit holnap reggel 6-ra? 
What will it cost me to go from my hotel to the airport? – Mennyibe fog kerülni az út a hotelből a reptérre?
How long is the wait for a taxi right now? – Mennyi a várakozási idő a taxira most?

Flagging down a taxi – Amikor leintünk egy taxit

In some locations, you don’t need to call a taxi. You can just wave your hands at one as it drives close to you. This is called “flagging” or “hailing” a taxi down. Stand close to the road and wave your arm out. An empty taxi will pull over for you. Many people get in the back of a taxi instead of the front passenger seat. A taxi without its light on is likely to be already on a run for someone else.
