Route from Munich to Prague Airport
350 €per car, one way
- Pick-up at your hotel or address in Munich, at the hour your flight needs
- Drive to Prague Airport: about four hours, one driver the whole way
- Drop-off at the departures kerb of Terminal 1 or 2

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 Munich 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 370 kilometres and no surcharge for luggage or an early start.
Why the road is faster than the rail
Munich and Prague are not far apart, but the railway between them was never modernised: the direct train runs on a single-track line through the Bohemian Forest and takes around six hours to Prague’s main station. To reach the airport you then add the Airport Express bus. By road the whole trip is about four hours, door to departures.
| Option | Time | What it is really like |
|---|---|---|
| Train + bus | 7 hours | Direct but slow train to Prague main station, then the Airport Express bus. A very long day before a flight. |
| Coach | 5+ hours | Cheapest. Arrives in the city, not at the airport, with fixed departures and limited luggage. |
| Taxi / private transfer | ~4 hours | From your door to the departures kerb, at whatever hour your flight needs. Priced per car. |
Where we pick you up
At your hotel or private address anywhere in Munich, whether in the Altstadt, Schwabing, Maxvorstadt or by the trade fair grounds at Riem. The driver comes to the door and takes the luggage. If you are flying into Munich Airport and on from Prague, ask us about a pick-up at MUC.
The drive
From Munich the car heads north to Regensburg and then east on the A6 to the border at Waidhaus and Rozvadov, where the motorway continues as the Czech D5 past Plzeň towards Prague. Václav Havel Airport sits on the western edge of the city, right where the D5 comes in, so the car never crosses the centre. There is no regular border control, but carry your passport: you need it for the flight anyway.
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 Munich. Allow four hours of driving, a short stop, and two hours at the airport for a Schengen flight or three for a long-haul one. A midday flight within Europe means leaving Munich at about six in the morning.
