Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service from Prague Airport
Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is the main international gateway to Prague and the largest airport in the Czech Republic. Located in the Prague 6 area of Ruzyně, it serves leisure and business travelers visiting the Czech capital as well as passengers continuing to other destinations in Bohemia and Central Europe.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from Prague Airport to hotels, apartments, offices, railway stations and other addresses throughout Prague. Chauffeur-driven transportation can also be arranged for business travel, events, sightseeing, hourly hire and long-distance journeys across the Czech Republic and neighboring countries.
Getting from Prague Airport to the City Centre
Travelers arriving at PRG can choose between Prague public transport, the Airport Express bus, taxis, ride-hailing services, rental cars and pre-booked private transfers. There is currently no direct passenger railway station at the airport, so public transport journeys into central Prague normally involve a bus or trolleybus connection.
One of the fastest public transport options is trolleybus line 59, which connects the airport terminals with Nádraží Veleslavín. From there, passengers can change to Metro Line A for central Prague. Bus line 100 runs to Zličín, where passengers can transfer to Metro Line B. Bus line 191 provides another connection toward the city, including the Anděl area.
The Airport Express provides a direct bus connection between Prague Airport and Praha hlavní nádraží, the city’s main railway station. This can be particularly useful for passengers continuing by train to other Czech or European destinations. Journey times depend on traffic, and passengers with accommodation elsewhere in Prague may still need another transfer from the railway station.
Private Airport Transfers to Prague
A pre-booked private transfer provides a direct journey from the airport to the passenger’s final address without changing between buses and metro lines or carrying luggage through stations. The vehicle is selected in advance according to the number of passengers, luggage requirements and preferred vehicle category.
This is especially convenient for families, business travelers, groups, passengers arriving with several suitcases and visitors staying outside the immediate historic centre. Transfers can be arranged to hotels and apartments throughout Prague, including Prague 1, Malá Strana, Staré Město, Nové Město, Vinohrady, Karlín, Holešovice and other districts.
Taxi and Ride-Hailing Services at Prague Airport
Taxi transportation is available directly at Václav Havel Airport Prague. The airport’s official taxi service is Uber Airport, and passengers can also use other licensed taxis and app-based services operating in Prague.
For a straightforward journey into the city, an airport taxi or ride-hailing service may be suitable. A pre-booked transfer offers a different type of service: transportation is organized before arrival, the required vehicle category can be selected in advance, and more complicated journeys can be planned before the passenger reaches Prague.
This distinction becomes particularly useful for larger groups, travelers requiring a van or minibus, passengers heading outside Prague, or customers who need several vehicles coordinated for the same arrival.
Chauffeur Service in Prague
Prague is an important destination for international business, conferences, private tourism and corporate events. WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service can be arranged when transportation is required for more than a simple airport-to-hotel transfer.
Hourly chauffeur hire is suitable for business meetings, roadshows, private sightseeing, restaurant visits and itineraries involving several stops. A chauffeur-driven car or van can remain available according to the booked schedule, avoiding the need to arrange a new taxi for each part of the journey.
English-speaking drivers can be requested where available. Different vehicle categories allow the service to be adapted to individual passengers, families, executive travelers and larger groups.
Regional Transfers from Prague Airport
Prague Airport is also a practical starting point for journeys beyond the capital. Private transfers can be arranged to destinations throughout Bohemia and other parts of the Czech Republic, including Karlovy Vary, Plzeň, Český Krumlov, České Budějovice, Kutná Hora, Liberec, Brno and many smaller towns and resorts.
Karlovy Vary is one of the most common longer-distance destinations from Prague, particularly for international visitors traveling to the famous spa region. Český Krumlov in South Bohemia is another popular destination where direct road transportation can be considerably more convenient for passengers with luggage than making several public transport connections.
Private transfers are also useful for journeys to ski areas, spa hotels, castles, conference venues and rural accommodation where public transportation may involve several changes or limited schedules.
Long-Distance and International Transfers
Prague’s central European location makes road transfers practical for certain international itineraries. WelcomeTaxi can arrange long-distance transportation from Prague Airport to destinations in Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovakia and other neighboring countries, subject to route and vehicle availability.
Examples include journeys from Prague to Dresden, Leipzig, Nuremberg, Vienna, Bratislava, Wrocław or other regional cities. An international private transfer can be particularly attractive for families, groups and business travelers who prefer a direct door-to-door journey rather than traveling first from the airport to a railway or coach station.
For cross-border journeys, passengers should carry the identification and travel documents required for every country included in the itinerary. Travel times can also vary according to traffic, road conditions and the selected border route.
Transfers Between Prague and Other Airports
Václav Havel Airport Prague is by far the principal airport for the Czech capital, but other regional airports can occasionally be relevant to travelers with particular flight schedules or multi-city itineraries.
Pardubice Airport (PED), east of Prague, handles international passenger flights and serves the East Bohemian region. Karlovy Vary Airport (KLV) serves western Bohemia and the Karlovy Vary spa region. Across the German border, Dresden Airport (DRS) can also be relevant for journeys combining Prague with Saxony.
WelcomeTaxi can arrange airport-to-airport transfers as well as transportation between these airports and Prague. This can be useful when an itinerary uses different airports for arrival and departure or when a flight disruption requires alternative ground transportation.
Why Pre-Book a Transfer Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
A regular taxi is convenient when a passenger simply needs the next available car for a short journey. Pre-booking is more useful when the trip requires planning. The route, vehicle requirements and pickup details can be established before travel, reducing the number of decisions that have to be made after landing.
Advance booking also makes it easier to arrange vans and larger vehicles for groups or substantial luggage. For long-distance transportation, the complete route can be agreed in advance instead of requesting an intercity journey from a local taxi after arrival.
For corporate travelers and organized groups, advance reservations also allow several transfers, vehicles or chauffeur services to be coordinated as part of the same itinerary.
Useful Travel Information for Prague Airport Arrivals
Prague Airport has two principal passenger terminals. Terminal 1 is primarily used for flights outside the Schengen Area, while Terminal 2 handles most flights within the Schengen Area. Passengers arranging a pickup should therefore provide accurate flight information so that the appropriate terminal can be identified.
Road travel times between the airport and central Prague vary according to the destination and traffic conditions. Peak-hour congestion can affect journeys, particularly on working days, so passengers traveling from the city to the airport should leave sufficient time before departure.
Public transportation is well integrated with Prague’s metro network. Trolleybus line 59 connects with Metro Line A at Nádraží Veleslavín, while bus line 100 connects with Metro Line B at Zličín. The Airport Express travels directly to Prague Main Railway Station, making it useful for onward rail journeys.
For passengers continuing directly to another Czech city, intercity coaches also serve Prague Airport. However, a private transfer can provide a simpler door-to-door alternative when the final destination is not served directly, when passengers have considerable luggage or when arrival times do not fit public transport schedules.
Book a Private Transfer from Prague Airport
WelcomeTaxi provides international private transfer and chauffeur services from Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG). Transportation can be arranged for a direct airport-to-hotel journey, corporate travel within Prague, chauffeur hire for several hours or a long-distance transfer across the Czech Republic and Central Europe.
Pre-booking allows passengers to choose a vehicle suitable for their journey and travel directly from the airport to their final destination with transportation arranged before arrival.
