Frequently Asked Questions
The recommended way is to make a booking online; just fill in all the required information and confirmation is sent to you instantly. You are not required to prepay or enter credit card data in order to secure your booking. For more complicated routes and special requests, sending an email is the best way. You can also make bookings over the phone (although it is a less recommended way); in this case please have your flight number, arrival time and lead passenger name handy to speed up the booking process.
Usually, this is because your email account thinks our message is spam, so check your spam folder to see if it’s in there. If it’s not, check to see that you gave us your correct email address when you booked. If you did, then please contact us again and we’d be happy to resend your confirmation email. If you make a train or airport transport booking very close to the time of arrival and don’t receive a confirmation email, our driver will be informed by our automated booking system, and will be waiting for you when you arrive.
Yes, we count infants and children as people in your party. Under Czech law, we’re required to use seats for children, and we provide these free of charge. So that we’re fully prepared for this, please leave a note for us in your booking form telling us how many children you’ll have with you.
You can either choose to pay in advance for your airport transport service, or when you’re dropped at your hotel. If you’re paying in advance online our driver will be informed by our system and there’s nothing more you need to do. If you’re paying on arrival by cash or credit card, you’ll pay the full amount when you arrive at your destination.
Naturally we accept payment in the local CZK currency, but we also accept pounds sterling (GBP), US Dollars, Euros, and other currencies selectable during the booking process. If you pay in cash in anything other than the local currency (CZK) the price may vary slightly based on the actual exchange rate.
Prices for all our services are quoted per vehicle and not per person, except in the case of our shared shuttle services. With these, the price depends on how many people there are in your party.
If you did not pay online you can choose to pay the total amount at once when you arrive at your hotel, or to pay for each trip separately. In every case our chauffeur will give you a “transport voucher” stating the exact amount paid (denoting whether the payment includes just one way or a return trip).
If you are happy with the service you receive, it’s customary to tip your driver between 5% and 15% of your total charge. This is entirely at your discretion. Even a very small tip will be much appreciated by your driver.
Our transfer price from Prague airport includes two drop-off hotels (if they are both in the city centre). If your party is going to more than two hotels or extra address is outside of city centre, then there may be an extra charge of 200 CZK for each additional drop-off per booking. If this is the case, you’ll be told about it in your confirmation email after you’ve booked your Prague transport service with us.
Your driver will be kept aware of your flight's arrival time and will be waiting to pick you up whenever your flight does arrive. All at no extra charge.
If you are staying in a holiday or service apartment and you need to pick up keys at the rental office/booking agency before heading to your apartment, there is no extra charge (if both address are in the city centre) . We charge an extra fee only if the driver has to wait for you for a significantly longer period (normally more than 15 minutes).
When you make your Prague airport transfer booking, you’ll supply us with your flight’s scheduled arrival time. From here, we track your flight in "real time" so that whether your plane is on time, early or late, we are aware of your flight status and will meet you based on your actual arrival time. We also factor in the time you’ll need to collect your luggage at baggage reclaim. The driver is present at the arrival lobby about 10 minutes after your actual arrival.
Airport parking fee is included in the price. Please take a note of the following conditions. Our driver will be waiting at the Terminal 1 lobby about 20 minutes after flight arrival time or 15 minutes if you arrive in Terminal 2. Please note that the driver will wait up to 60 minutes from arrival time. If you do not have check-in bags and you put a note or checked option (X) No check-in bags, the driver will be ready at each Terminal 10 minutes after flight arrival and will leave 45 minutes after arrival. Before the driver leaves the airport, we will try to contact you on the provided mobile phone. If you expect longer or require longer waiting, please make a note for the booking.
If you are able to inform us in the unlikely event that you, for example, miss your connecting flight, we will change your booking accordingly – there is no charge. You can just email us, call, or even text us on +420 777 777 237 about your missed flight.
If you need a special transport service such as a car with a baby chair, extra space for a pushchair, or are travelling with disabled passengers, please make a note of this when you make your booking.
