How long is the Katowice Pyrzowice to Prague Ruzyne transfer?
Typically 4 h 30 min - 5 h off-peak. The route runs across Upper Silesia and Moravia, past Ostrava and Olomouc. The border crossing is usually queue-free; allow 20-45 min extra on Friday afternoons and at peak times. We back-plan against your departure time.
Is the price per person or for the whole car?
For the whole car. This is a private, exclusive transfer — one fixed price covers the vehicle and chauffeur regardless of whether one person or a full group is travelling. A standard saloon comfortably seats up to four passengers; a larger MPV up to seven. For three or four people the per-head cost is often comparable to rail or coach tickets, with the added benefit of no changes, departure on your schedule and delivery straight to the door.
Train or bus versus private transfer — which should I choose?
The train from Katowice to Prague takes around 5-6 hours with a change in Ostrava or Brno; coaches are similar or longer. A private transfer is 4 h 30 min - 5 h door to door — no changes, luggage in the boot, departure at the time you choose rather than a timetable. For a family or a team with bags, the difference in comfort is most pronounced, especially at a comparable cost per head for a group.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. The route passes through Ostrava and Olomouc, so a coffee stop or short lunch break is available on request. Simply note it at the time of booking — longer stops are factored into the price upfront, with no surprises for the driver.
What is included in the price?
The fixed price covers the full journey in a private car with a chauffeur, fuel, motorway tolls and vignettes on both the Polish and Czech sides, the driver's return trip, and 60 minutes of free waiting at the airport. No surcharges for luggage, traffic or the border crossing. A VAT invoice is available on request.
How much buffer should I leave before a Prague departure?
We recommend 4 hours before a long-haul departure (Delta to JFK, Korean Air to Seoul, Emirates to Dubai) and 3 hours for Schengen European flights. We back-plan against the flight time, factoring in the Prague ring road and the correct terminal — T1 for non-Schengen and long-haul, T2 for Schengen.
Do I need a passport for the KTW → PRG route?
No. Poland and Czechia are both in the Schengen Area — border checks are not conducted. In practice the Cieszyn bridge crossing happens without stopping. ID is sufficient in case of a police check during the journey.
My flight into Pyrzowice is delayed — what happens?
We track the flight in real time and shift pickup automatically. 60 minutes of free waiting is included in the price. The fixed price applies regardless of the delay. If the delay threatens the PRG long-haul, one direct contact line stays open — we operate 24/7.
Can I add a stop on route Katowice Pyrzowice Airport (KTW) → Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG)?
Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.
Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?
Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
