How long is the Krakow Balice to Prague Václav Havel transfer?
Typically 5 h 45 min - 6 h 30 min off-peak. The route runs through Upper Silesia and Moravia — towards the border near Ostrava, past Olomouc, and onto the Prague ring road. The border crossing is usually queue-free, though the holiday season can add 20-30 min. 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 individual train or bus tickets, with the added benefit of no changes, departure on your schedule and delivery to the door.
Train, bus or private transfer — which should I choose?
The train from Krakow to Prague takes 7-8 hours with a change (typically in Katowice or Ostrava); the bus 7-9 hours. A private transfer is 5 h 45 min - 6 h 30 min 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 time and comfort is most pronounced.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. The route passes through Moravia, so we can plan a coffee stop or a short lunch break in Olomouc 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 approach and the correct terminal — T1 for non-Schengen and long-haul, T2 for Schengen.
My flight into Krakow 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. If the delay threatens the PRG connection, one direct contact line stays open — we operate 24/7 and regularly handle overnight misconnects to Prague long-haul departures.
Can I add a stop on route Krakow Balice Airport (KRK) → 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.
