Mercedes E-Class for 1-3 passengers, S-Class for executive or diplomatic travel, V-Class for families or groups of up to 6.

FAQ

How early should I schedule pickup from Košice?

We recommend pickup 7 h before international flights and 6 h before Schengen — with 4 h 15 min driving time on the D1 motorway, this leaves buffer. Entire route is within Slovakia, no borders.

Yes. The chauffeur pulls up at the BTS departures terminal, helps with luggage unloading and, for first-time BTS travellers, points you to the right entrance. The Košice → BTS transfer (395-415 km) includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting at pickup.
