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 trip may incur surge pricing during periods of high demand, often making the official airport taxis an expensive choice.
If you’re traveling during a non-peak time, you can expect a taxi for the 21 km journey from Prague Airport to the city center to cost around €30 (CZK 650) to €36 (CZK 800). Similarly, you will pay between €145 (CZK 3,675) and €185 (CZK 4,689) for the 1 hour and 25-minute journey from PRG Airport to Karlovy Vary.
If you’d prefer an all-inclusive price that isn’t subject to peak-time surges, you can pre-book your taxi from Prague Airport with a trusted company such as Welcome Pickups.

Where is the Prague Airport taxi rank?
The official airport taxi partner is Uber. The black taxis can be found waiting at the Prague Airport taxi rank outside of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Before taking your taxi from Prague Airport, you must request your ride at the automatic kiosks or help desk in the airport or from the app. However, as Uber is the sole taxi provider at Prague Airport, there can be extremely long wait times for the kiosks and an available driver.
We recommend booking your Prague Airport taxi in advance to avoid the crowds, avoid the wait, and hop straight into your assigned vehicle. That way, you can ensure a seamless door-to-door experience.
