Personal assistant service in Hungary: personal driver, administrative assistant, concierge service. We will make living in Hungary easy and enjoyable!
Helpers Expat Services provides assistance for expat families and foreign businesspeople living in Hungary ranging from relocation and bureaucratic tasks to daily personal assistance and problem-solving. Whether you live in Hungary full-time, visit regularly or simply have business interests or property here, you can rely on us for local know-how, practical advice and round-the-clock support.
Some clients use our personal assistance service for a few days when they first come to Hungary – we assist them with shopping, getting settled, using public transport, receiving deliveries, or anything else that they need in order to feel comfortable. When an unexpected emergency or errand comes along, you can call on us to take care of it for you or with you. Basically, we provide you with a local, English-speaking, practical-minded personal assistant whenever you need one.
Our assistants are available for personal errands but also for business tasks like basic administration or performing smaller research tasks. We also have personal drivers and cars at our clients’ disposal – you can use them for airport pickup, or transport to and from meetings.
Please note: our personal assistance services are not available currently.
Of course not! If your property needs renovation, we will help you renovate it. We will find you a reliable electrician, plumber, carpenter or interior decorator – all at local prices. We will supervise their work, negotiate the price of their service, and make sure they deliver on time. If you are located abroad, we can offer you key-holding, regular check-ups of your place, or help with renting it out.
Whatever you need, from holiday accommodation to corporate housing, we can accompany you to negotiate the rent or the purchase price, advise you as to which neighborhoods would suit you best or what you should pay special attention to when looking for a home, find you a garage to rent near your new place, look over (or translate) the tenancy contract for you, and take care of any paperwork.
After settling in, there is a lot of information to be gathered. You need to know where the nearest dry-cleaner is, which restaurants will serve you the best food or which ones are likely to rip you off, or where the best shopping areas, markets, English-language bookstores are, to find an international school or kindergarten for your children, or a Hungarian teacher or language school for yourself. Whether you are here for business, for work, or to study in Hungary, our personalized services will provide you with all the info that you need.
Naturally that depends on the nature of the request but you’ll probably be surprised. We have been known to find a replacement secretary in less than an hour, an IT-specialist Hungarian-to-English translator in about thirty minutes, or painters for a crisis situation immediately! Of course, we can only estimate the time required once we hear your request.
