Coming from Berlin Brandenburg
Berlin Brandenburg is south-east of the city, which means it is already pointing the right way — leaving from the airport takes nothing off the four hours and saves you the trip into town. Send the flight number when you book: the driver watches the flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a board with your name, and waiting time for a delayed landing is free.
Train, coach or car
This is a well-served route and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The honest comparison:
| Option | Time | What it is really like |
|---|---|---|
| Train | ~4 hours | Direct EuroCity services roughly every two hours from Berlin Hauptbahnhof, running down the Elbe gorge — one of the prettiest stretches of railway in Europe. Cheap booked ahead. You still get yourself and your luggage to the station at both ends. |
| Coach | ~4-5 hours | The cheapest way to do it, frequent and direct. Fixed departures, limited luggage. |
| Private transfer | ~4 hours | Door to door, your own departure time, luggage no object — and you can break the journey wherever you like, which neither of the other two can do. |
For one or two people travelling light, the train is genuinely good and we will say so. The car earns its keep with three or more passengers, with luggage, with children, at hours when nothing runs, and when you want to stop in Dresden on the way.
The drive
We leave Berlin southwards on the A13 across Brandenburg, join the A17 at Dresden and drop over the ridge into the Czech Republic at Petrovice. On the Czech side the D8 runs down through the volcanic hills of the Ceske stredohori and into Prague from the north.
There is no border control — both countries are in the Schengen area — and German motorways carry no toll for cars, so the only vignette on this route is the Czech one, and it is ours.
Stops on the way
The road passes two places worth breaking the journey for. Neither costs extra; they simply lengthen the drive.
- Dresden — the Zwinger, the Frauenkirche and the Semperoper are twenty minutes off the motorway, and it is the natural halfway stop.
- Saxon Switzerland — the sandstone towers and the Bastei bridge, right beside the A17 before the border.
Arriving in Prague
We take you to the door of your hotel or apartment in any district, including the lanes of the old town where cars are otherwise restricted. If you are flying on, we drive to the right terminal at Vaclav Havel Airport instead — say so when you book.
What is included
A private car with an English-speaking driver for your group only, one driver for the whole journey. Fuel, motorway tolls and the Czech vignette. Help with luggage. Child seats on request at no charge — tell us the age and weight when you book.
The fare is fixed at booking: no meter, no surcharge for luggage, no recalculation on arrival.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer from Berlin to Prague?
From 350 € per car, one way: economy 350 €, comfort 370 €, premium 400 €, a minibus for up to eight 420 €. The price is for the whole car, not per person.
How long does the drive from Berlin to Prague take?
About four hours for roughly 350 kilometres on the A13 to Dresden, the A17 to the border and the Czech D8 to Prague.
Can you pick us up at Berlin Brandenburg Airport?
Yes. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall at BER with a name sign and tracks your flight. Tell us the flight number when you book.
Can you take us straight to Prague Airport?
Yes. We drive to the right terminal at Václav Havel Airport instead of the city, from 350 € per car. Say so when you book.
Can we stop in Dresden on the way?
Yes. Dresden is almost exactly halfway and right on the route, so a break in its old town is easy to add. Tell us when you book.
Is the train a better option than a transfer?
The direct train takes about four and a half hours and is a good choice if you travel light. For two or more people with luggage, or with a flight to catch in Prague, a transfer from door to door is usually simpler.
