Landing in the city for the first time may be stressful. Probably the first thing you want to figure out is how to get from Prague Airport to the city center or your hotel. The best and most comfortable way is to use your own private driver.

Your driver will be waiting for you at arrivals with a sign with your name on it. All drivers are hand-picked Czech locals with excellent English skills and knowledge of Prague, so they can answer any questions you may have.

The driver will also monitor the arrival time of your flight, so if it’s delayed or canceled you don’t need to worry about informing him. He is always there on time. Once you land, you can go immediately to your car and drive to your destination in Prague or anywhere in the Czech Republic (Cesky Krumlov, Karlovy Vary, Kutna Hora, Brno, etc.), no time wasted.

Feel like a celebrity for only €33 which is the price of a regular taxi or Uber in Prague! Service is provided by our partner company Welcome Pickups.

Conclusion

Choosing a private transfer from Prague Airport is an excellent option, especially if you are traveling with family or a group. The fixed price of just €33 is the same as a regular taxi, but you’ll enjoy a much more comfortable, reliable, and stress-free experience. With a friendly English-speaking driver, personal meet and greet, and the convenience of door-to-door service, your arrival in Prague will be smooth and enjoyable for everyone.

Too Expensive? Use Shared Transfer for €16.95

If a private transfer feels too expensive, you can also opt for a shared shuttle transfer. This economical option lets you avoid the hassle of public transportation or waiting in line for a taxi.

Your driver will meet you in the arrivals hall with an orange placard, assist with your luggage, and guide you to a modern, air-conditioned minibus (typically Mercedes Benz V-Class or VW Transporter). The shuttle departs once all passengers from certain flights are gathered.
