By Taxi from the Airport

ticktack.cz – approx. 550 CZK – the nicest taxis – the company’s success recipe is “no fraud” and very nice cars. Order them from home before you fly to Prague, specify your flight number and they will wait for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, no extra charge for flight delays, you can pay by card in the taxi and the driver speaks English. I’ll happily book this for you.
Liftago app – this is the most common local app for regular taxi’s. I recommend that one above Uber. Has the same features, drivers apply to your journey and you can pick as by car and rating. Links: App Store Google Play
Uber app – Gets you to the apartment for about 350-650 CZK depending on surcharge. It works but takes a little longer than ticktack.cz and cars vary if you use the standard rates.
Prague-airport-transfers.co.uk – Clean cars, waiting in arrival area with name signs. Various options from shared shuttle to private limousine.
Warning(!!) – read about Taxis in Prague

Where not to Park
- Blue zones: your car has a high chance of getting towed for parking in any blue zone. They are reserved for companies with offices in the area and people leaving in the nearby buildings.
- Places not marked for parking: parking in any area that has no parking labeling will get you a wheel clamp. You will find a receipt on your windshield with a phone number written on it; call the officer on the number provided and he will remove the clamp. There is no fixed price for removing a clamp, only minimal and maximal amount. Police officers often don’t speak English.
Security Advice
- Car break-ins take the biggest share of property-related crimes in Prague
- Don’t leave your bag in the car
- Make it obvious that there is nothing to steal from the car:
- Put non-valuable items visibly behind the windshield
- Open all compartments, glove boxes, etc.
Car Theft: High Risk
- German made cars priced at 30.000+ EUR and new Skoda models have the highest risk of being stolen
- Cars owned by locals (in contrast to tourist cars) always have a third-party alarm system in addition to the pre-installed one. Thieves prefer tourist cars for obvious reasons.
- If your car falls into the high-risk category, only use protected parking. Better safe than sorry.
