Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Prague to Karlovy Vary take?
The private transfer covers about 130 km and takes roughly 1 h 37 min door-to-door, depending on traffic and any border wait.
How much is a taxi from Prague to Karlovy Vary?
From 219 € per car (up to 3 passengers) and 266 € per minivan (up to 8). The price is per vehicle — not per person — and includes VAT, tolls and parking.
Can we make a stop on the way?
Yes — a sightseeing or comfort stop on the way is possible on request; just tell us when booking.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, child and booster seats are available on request — add a note when you book.
How much luggage can I bring?
A car fits up to 3 passengers with standard luggage; the minivan has a spacious luggage area for groups. For extra or oversized luggage, let us know in advance.
How do I get confirmation?
Book online and we confirm by e-mail or WhatsApp with your driver and pickup details. Payment is secure — card or bank transfer, in advance.
How long does the Prague–Karlovy Vary transfer take, and how much does it cost?
The drive is about 2 hours door-to-door in either direction. It is a private car just for your group — 1–3 passengers travel in a car, 4–8 in a minivan — so the price is per vehicle, not per person. See the price above for your party size; a return trip is roughly double the one-way fare.
Can you pick us up at (or drop us at) Prague Airport?
Yes. We cover both directions — Prague Airport to your Karlovy Vary hotel, or from Karlovy Vary back to the airport — as a door-to-door private transfer. Just give us your flight number and hotel address so we can time the pickup to your arrival.
Karlovy Vary is a spa town — can we visit for the day and have the driver bring us back?
Absolutely. Choose the excursion option and your driver waits while you enjoy the spa or sightseeing, then takes you back. Waiting time is charged at €15 per hour, and popular stopovers such as Loket can easily be added along the way.
How do we book, and do you offer a shared shuttle to save money?
All transfers are private car only — we do not run shared shuttles. You can book and pay online in a few minutes (a 50% card deposit confirms it) and receive your confirmation instantly. English-speaking drivers are standard, and child seats are available on request.
Do you offer a cheaper shared shuttle?
No — we run private transfers only, so you never share the car. If you are on a tight budget, the scheduled bus or train is the cheapest way to travel:
