Taxi or private transfer: the same car
Whether you call it a taxi or a private transfer, what you book is one car with a driver for your group, from your door in Frankfurt to the terminal in Prague. The difference from a street taxi is the price: it is fixed per car before you set off, with no meter running over 510 kilometres and no surcharge for luggage.
Who books this
Mostly people whose trip ends in Frankfurt but whose flight leaves from Prague: a return ticket booked into Prague, a cheaper fare from Václav Havel, or a group with too much luggage for the train. There is no direct train; the rail journey to Prague takes six to seven hours with a change, usually in Nuremberg, and the airport is still a bus ride beyond the main station.
| Option | Time | What it is really like |
|---|---|---|
| Train + bus | 7–8 hours | A change in Nuremberg, the train to Prague main station, then the Airport Express bus. A full day with luggage. |
| Coach | 7+ hours | Cheapest. Arrives in the city, not at the airport, and night departures make for a tired start to a flight. |
| Taxi / private transfer | ~5.5 hours with a stop | From your door to the departures kerb, on your own schedule. Priced per car, so it divides between everyone travelling. |
Where we pick you up
At your hotel or private address anywhere in Frankfurt, including the banking district, Sachsenhausen and the hotels around the Messe. The driver comes to the door and takes the luggage. If you need a pick-up at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) instead, ask us and we will quote that run.
The drive
The car takes the A3 south-east through Würzburg to Nuremberg, then the A6 to the border at Waidhaus and Rozvadov, where the motorway continues as the Czech D5 past Plzeň. Václav Havel Airport sits on the western edge of Prague, right where the D5 comes in, so the car never crosses the city. Germany runs temporary checks at its land borders, so carry your passport on the road as well as for the flight. Germany does not toll private cars, so the Czech vignette is the only road charge, and it is included.
At the airport
Flights to Schengen countries leave from Terminal 2; flights to the UK, the US, Israel, the Gulf and other non-Schengen destinations from Terminal 1. Give us your flight number and the driver will stop at the right departures kerb and help you with the luggage.
When to leave Frankfurt. Allow five hours of driving, one or two short stops, and two hours at the airport for a Schengen flight or three for a long-haul one. An afternoon flight within Europe means leaving Frankfurt in the early morning.

The fare is fixed at booking: no meter, no surcharge for luggage, no recalculation at the airport.
