Via R7 highway. Prague traffic is moderate — the drive is usually straightforward. Entering the Old Town can be slow due to narrow streets.
Fastest: Late night or early morning — roads are clear and the drive is at its shortest.
Slowest: Weekday rush hours (7–10am, 4–7pm) can add 30–60 minutes to the journey. If your flight arrives during these times, allow extra margin before onward connections.
Weekends: Generally smooth, similar to midday weekday times.
1. Clear immigration and collect your baggage. Your transfer driver is tracking your flight in real time — if it's delayed, they adjust automatically. No need to call or message.
2. Walk through Customs into the Arrivals hall. Terminal 1 (non-Schengen) or Terminal 2 (Schengen). Both have compact Arrivals halls — drivers wait near the exit doors.
3. Identify your driver. Look for someone holding a board with your name. Most services send the driver's name, photo, and phone number via email or app before your arrival.
4. Walk to the car. Your driver will guide you to the vehicle, usually parked in the short-stay car park (2–5 minute walk). They'll handle your luggage.

Standard sedan: Prague's cobblestone streets can be tough with wheeled luggage — door-to-door transfers avoid this entirely.
Child seats: Welcome Pickups includes free child seats on all bookings. Kiwitaxi charges a small fee. GetTransfer and intui.travel — ask during booking.
Oversized items: Ski bags, surfboards, golf clubs, or musical instruments require larger vehicles. Mention during booking to ensure the right car is sent.
Prague airport is compact and transfers are affordable. Bus 119 + Metro is the cheapest option at $1.70 but involves a transfer. The Airport Express bus ($4.20, 35 min) is a good middle ground. For groups of 3+, a pre-booked transfer is excellent value per person.
