Because Austria and Hungary are part of the Schengen zone, there are no border controls and cars drive by quickly. However, on either side of the border there are rest stops where you can ask drivers. Finding an onward lift to [[Vienna]] or [[Budapest]] shouldn't take long.
Very long-distance rides are possible here. From the rest station along the eastbound lane on the Hungarian side, one can thumb with a sign or ask drivers for a lift to [[Romania ]] or [[Serbia]]. On the Austria side of the border along the westbound lane, there is a Shell petrol station where Romanians constantly stop to buy vignettes. These Romanians are going to all parts of Western Europe, so a few simple phrases in Romanian and a smile can get you a very long-distance lift.
