Prague Airport taxi price
Since 2023, the airport’s official taxi partner is Uber. This means that if you take an airport taxi in Prague, you’ll use ‘Uber Airport Cars’ and your final fare will depend on the distance travelled, the time of day, demand, and so on.
Note that you may be subject to surge pricing during periods of high demand, often making official airport taxis the more expensive choice. So if you’d prefer the peace of mind of a competitive fixed fare, you can book your Prague Airport taxi with a trusted transfer provider like Welcome Pickups and pay in advance.
Whether you’re travelling solo or as a group, we offer different-sized vehicles to suit your needs. You can choose between our stylish sedans that can accommodate up to 4 passengers, our spacious minivans that can seat up to 8, and our larger minibuses for groups of up to 12.

Where to get a Prague Airport taxi?
Prague Airport’s taxi ranks are located just outside both terminals (T1 and T2). You can request rides from the app, online, or from the Uber kiosks located in the Arrival Halls of either terminal. Once you’ve requested your ride, you’ll be directed to the ranks outside to meet your driver. Just keep in mind that waiting times may be long if you’re travelling during peak season.
To skip the crowds and hop straight into a waiting vehicle, we recommend booking your Prague Airport taxi in advance. That way, you can ensure a seamless door-to-door experience and secure a competitive fixed fare.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Prague Airport
- The official Prague Airport taxi partner is Uber. This means you’ll receive a fare estimate before booking your trip. Just keep in mind that your fare will be calculated based on taximeter rates, so the estimation is not always exact.
- Local taxis also calculate fares using a taximeter.
- Uber applies surge pricing during busy periods, so if you’re travelling on weekends or during peak season, Uber will be more expensive than usual.
- Never accept rides from unlicensed drivers offering rides inside the airport.
- Tipping in Prague is generally expected, with a 10% tip as the standard.
- Airport taxis in Prague typically accept card payments thanks to the Uber app’s digital payment feature. However, it’s always best to carry some cash in the local currency just in case (€).
- You can still call a local taxi company and arrange a pickup from the airport if you don't want to use a ride-hailing service. These taxis usually pick you up in one of the car parks.
- Some taxi drivers may speak English, but this is never guaranteed. We recommend jotting down the address of your hotel or accommodation to avoid miscommunication.
