Airport Transportation in Warsaw

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Warsaw Chopin Airport 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.

Our airport transportation in Warsaw picks you up at Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), not Modlin, and takes you to hotels and apartments in the city center around the Palace of Culture and Science, the Old Town, the Wola business district, Praga, Mokotów and Wilanów, and to Warszawa Centralna station.

Warsaw Airport Transfers

Warsaw airport transfers start at Warsaw Chopin Airport, where all passenger flights use one terminal, and your driver waits for you in the public arrivals hall with a name sign after baggage claim and customs. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Warsaw airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or office in the city center, the Old Town, Wola, Praga, Mokotów or Wilanów, or to Warszawa Centralna for an onward train. Going on to Łódź or Lublin? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Warsaw Airport Shuttle

Our Warsaw airport shuttle is a private car or van for your party only, not a shared minibus that stops at other hotels on the way into the city. It leaves as soon as you are through arrivals at Chopin, with room for suitcases and winter coats, and suits families, business travelers heading to Wola and groups arriving together.

Landing at Warsaw Airport

Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), named after the composer Frédéric Chopin and known in Polish as Lotnisko Chopina, is Poland's largest and busiest airport and the hub of LOT Polish Airlines. It lies on the southwest side of Warsaw, inside the city limits, and all passenger flights use one terminal.

If you fly in from outside the Schengen area, including the US, Canada and the UK, you pass border control before baggage claim; flights from other Schengen countries skip passport control. Non-EU visitors are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System on their first entry, with fingerprints and a facial photo, which can add time. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the public arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Poland is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the Polish złoty (PLN).

Entry requirements and local notes

Schengen entry. Poland 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.

Chopin, not Modlin. Warsaw has a second airport, Warsaw Modlin (WMI), north of the city and used mainly by low-cost airlines. This page books rides from Chopin (WAW) only, so check the airport code on your ticket.

Złoty, not euro. Poland is in the EU but uses the Polish złoty (PLN); cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere.

Warsaw Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Warsaw Chopin Airport?

In the public arrivals hall, after baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Chopin has one passenger terminal, so every flight comes out into the same arrivals area.

Is this page for Warsaw Chopin or Warsaw Modlin?

This page books rides from Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) only. Warsaw Modlin (WMI) is a separate airport north of the city, used mainly by low-cost airlines, and it is not covered here, so check the code on your ticket; if it shows WMI, contact us before you fly.

Is Warsaw Airport the same as Chopin Airport or Okęcie?

Yes. Warsaw Chopin Airport is called Lotnisko Chopina in Polish and is still often called Okęcie, after the district where it stands. Its code is WAW, and this page books rides from it.

How far is Warsaw Chopin Airport from the city center?

About 10 km (6 miles) southwest of the city center, inside Warsaw's city limits. Drive times depend on traffic, which is heaviest at the morning and evening rush hours.

Can you take me to the Old Town?

Yes. We drive to hotels and apartments in and around the Old Town (Stare Miasto) and the New Town. Some streets in the historic center are closed to cars, so the driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can you take me to Warszawa Centralna station?

Yes. We drive you to Warszawa Centralna or any other Warsaw station for an onward train. Give us your train time when you book, so the pickup leaves a comfortable margin.

Can you take me to the Wola business district or Mokotów?

Yes. We drive to offices and hotels in Wola, around Rondo Daszyńskiego, and in Mokotów, including the office district around Domaniewska Street. Give the full address and the building name when you book.

Can you take me to Łódź or Lublin?

Łódź lies southwest of Warsaw and Lublin southeast, both well beyond the city. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Do you drive to apartments in Warsaw?

Yes. Give the full street address, the building and apartment number and any gate or intercom code, since many Warsaw apartment blocks sit around gated courtyards.

Is there a train or bus from Chopin Airport to the city center?

Yes. SKM trains S2 and S3 run from the airport station to the city center, and city buses 175 and 188 stop outside the terminal. A private transfer is easier with luggage, late at night or for addresses away from the stations.

Should I buy transportation from people offering rides inside Chopin Airport?

There is no need. Turn down ride offers inside the terminal: booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you in arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight to Warsaw is delayed?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver at Warsaw Chopin Airport waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Warsaw Chopin Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, apartment or office. Give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup is set for check-in and security.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Warsaw Chopin Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that books rides from WAW; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Warsaw Chopin Airport page.
