Get on one of the very frequent ''Vac''-bound trains from ''Nyugati Pályaudvar'' (which is the main train station) and get off at the ''Sződliget''-stop which is roughly a half hour train ride(HUF 550/2€) . When you get off the train walk find the road and take a left. Follow it for about 200 meters until you get to the highway and then just stand on the highway hitchhiking instead of the onramp as there's a a lot of space to pull over and people don't really drive to fast at that stretch of the road.
Alternatively, you can take train from Nyugati to "Dunakeszi Gyártelep" (150/300 HUF) and walk 3.5 km to the Gas Station on the E77 (Hungarians call it Road Number Two). The walk is 40+ minutes but its pretty straight-forward. Here's a - check this map of how to get there: http://goo.gl/maps/bCKPVFrom Pipa st. you can see the sign of the petrol station in the distance, and it will help you to navigate.
The highway only has two lanes, and cars are going pretty slow, so it's not a problem to cross it. Once you get there its great spot to catch a long drive! You can be picky, so best wait for someone going straight to Poland because once you get the Slovak border the road is getting bad and this is your best shot.
