What's the Prague Airport taxi price?
Since 2023, the official Prague Airport taxi partner is Uber. This means that if you take an airport taxi in Prague, you’ll use one of the ‘Uber Airport’ cars. As with the regular Uber taxis, the price of your journey must be pre-paid and will be decided upon based on your destination, the time of day and the demand. This means that your journey may incur surge pricing during periods of high demand, often making the official airport taxis an expensive choice.
If you’re travelling during a non-peak time, you can expect a taxi for the 21 km journey from Prague Airport to the city centre to cost around €30 (CZK 650) to €36 (CZK 800). Similarly, you will pay around €145 to take the 1 hour and 25-minute journey to the beautiful town of Karlovy Vary.
If you’d prefer an all-inclusive price that isn’t subject to peak-time surges, you can pre-book your transfer with a trusted company such as Welcome Pickups.

Where is the Prague Airport taxi rank?
The official Prague Airport taxi partner is Uber. The special Uber Airport black taxis can be found waiting at the Prague Airport taxi rank outside of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Before taking your Uber taxi, you will have to request your ride at the automatic kiosks or help desk in the airport, or from the app. However, as the sole provider of taxis at Prague Airport is Uber, there can be extremely long wait times in the queue for the kiosks and for an available driver.
To skip the crowds, avoid the wait and hop straight into your assigned vehicle, we recommend booking your Prague Airport taxi in advance. That way, you can ensure a seamless door-to-door experience.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Prague Airport
- There are no local taxi drivers at Prague Airport. You will only be able to take a Welcome Pickups or Uber Airport ride.
- Local taxis also calculate fares using a taximeter.
- During peak travel times, the cost of your Prague taxi from the airport can increase dramatically.
- Never accept rides from unlicensed drivers offering rides inside the airport.
- Tipping your taxi driver in Prague is generally expected, with a 10% tip as the standard.
- You can pay for your Prague Airport taxi by credit card through the Uber app or the kiosks in the airport.
- If you call a local company or pre-book your rides with a private company, they will meet you in the Prague Airport parking lot, as they aren’t authorised to drive to the terminal.
- Some taxi drivers may speak English, but this is never guaranteed. We recommend jotting down the address of your hotel or accommodation or using a GPS app to avoid any miscommunication.

You will also be able to travel with the peace of mind that your personal belongings and loved ones are safe throughout the entire journey.
