Airport Transportation in Prague

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Václav Havel Airport Prague to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Airport transportation in Prague takes you from Václav Havel Airport to hotels and apartments in the Old Town, Malá Strana and the castle district, and further out to Kutná Hora, Karlovy Vary and Český Krumlov.

Prague Airport Transfers

Our Prague airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight uses: Terminal 1 for flights from outside the Schengen Area and Terminal 2 for Schengen flights. We track your flight, so your driver waits in the right hall.

You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Prague airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at an Old Town hotel, an apartment in Malá Strana, a spa hotel in Karlovy Vary or a guesthouse in Český Krumlov.

Prague Airport Shuttle

Our Prague airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families and groups, and longer trips with luggage to Kutná Hora, Karlovy Vary or Český Krumlov.

Landing at Prague Airport

Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is in the Ruzyně district on the northwestern edge of Prague and is the hub of Smartwings. Passengers use two terminals joined by a connecting building: Terminal 1 for flights outside the Schengen Area and Terminal 2 for Schengen flights.

From outside Schengen you land at Terminal 1 and go through passport control; at Terminal 2 most passengers have no passport check. Collect your bags in the baggage hall of your terminal and walk out into its public arrivals hall.

Prague is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October.

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. The Czech Republic is in the Schengen Area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.

Czech koruna. The Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna (CZK), not the euro, so prices and most payments are in koruna.

Terminal by route, not airline. Your terminal depends on where your flight comes from, and Smartwings, Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air use both terminals. Give us your flight number so your driver waits in the right arrivals hall.

Offers in the arrivals hall. Turn down drivers who approach you in the arrivals hall and look for your pre-booked driver.
