Route from Vienna to Prague Airport
370 €per car, one way
- Pick-up at your hotel or address in Vienna, 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
- Fixed fare agreed when you book

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 Vienna 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 330 kilometres and no surcharge for luggage or an early start.
When the car beats the train
The direct Railjet from Wien Hauptbahnhof reaches Prague’s main station in about four hours, roughly every two hours. To make a flight you add the trip to the station in Vienna, the Airport Express bus from Prague’s main station to the airport, and a margin in case the train is late. For one person travelling light the train works; with three or more passengers, luggage or an early flight, the car is simpler.
| Option | Time | What it is really like |
|---|---|---|
| Train + bus | 5+ hours | Railjet to Prague main station, then the Airport Express bus. Comfortable, but two transfers with luggage and a timetable to fit. |
| Coach | 4.5–5.5 hours | Cheapest. Arrives in the city, not at the airport, so you still cross Prague to your flight. |
| 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 Vienna, inside the Ring or in the outer districts. The driver comes to the door and takes the luggage. If you are coming straight from Vienna Airport (VIE), ask us and we will quote the airport-to-airport run.
The drive
From Vienna the car takes the A5 north through the Weinviertel to the border at Mikulov, then the Czech D52 past the Pálava hills to Brno and the D1 motorway across the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands to Prague. The car takes the ring road round the city to the airport on its north-western edge. 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 Vienna. 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 Vienna at about six in the morning.

About four hours for roughly 330 kilometres on the A5, the D52 and the D1 through Brno, plus a short stop on the way.
