FAQ

How to make a booking?

The recommended way is to make a booking online; just fill in all the required information and a confirmation will be sent to you shortly after. You are not required to prepay or enter credit card data in order to secure your booking. For more complicated routes and special requests, sending an email is the best way. You can also make bookings over the phone or WhatsApp (although it is a less recommended way); in this case please have your flight number, arrival time and lead passenger name handy to speed up the booking process.

When making a last-minute reservation, please do call us to make sure that we have an available car for you at all. The best number to call is +420 774 380 008.

If you are making a reservation after midnight for your early morning (0-7am) transfer to the airport/train/bus station please call us to make sure that the we have the reservation in our system as that is outside of our office hours. The best number to call is +420 774 380 008.

I haven’t received my confirmation email. Why is this and what can I do?

Usually, this is because your email account thinks our message is spam, so check your spam folder to see if it’s in there. If it’s not, check to see that you gave us your correct email address when you booked. If you did, then please contact us again and we’d be happy to resend your confirmation email.

The booking form is not accepting my phone number?

That is because we need your number in the international format to be able to call in you. For example, +1 and the number for US, +44 and the number without zero for UK, +33 for France, +39 for Italy, +49 for Germany, ...

How does booking works?

After filling in the form you will receive an automatic email with your itinerary, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you shortly after including all details (such as where to meet your driver, how to pay etc.).

What is the luggage storage? Do I need to book it when traveling with some luggage?

Luggage storage service is an extra service for people who would like to leave their luggage for some time with us during the day, since either their apartment is not ready yet, or they have to check out way sooner than their departure time to the airport is. You don’t need to book this service when traveling with some luggage. Only when you wish to leave the luggage with us.

Do infants count?

Yes, we count infants and children as people in your group. Under Czech law, we’re required to use seats for children, and we provide these free of charge. So that we’re fully prepared for this, please leave a note for us in your booking, telling us how many children you are traveling with, and what their age is.

When do I pay?

You can either choose to pay online by credit card in the last step of your reservation, or when you’re dropped at your destination. If you’re paying in advance online our driver will be informed by our system and there’s nothing more you need to do. If you’re paying on arrival by cash, you’ll pay the full amount when you arrive at your destination in CZK or EUR.

Are your prices per person or per vehicle?

Prices for all our services are quoted per vehicle and not per person, unless you are booking a spot in the shared shuttle to Cesky Krumlov, or Kutna Hora.

Upon departure. Is the driver going to contact me prior to my pick-up?

Your driver will contact you only in case when he has a slight delay, or he was not able to park right in front of your door. Therefore, please do not wait for the driver inside of your apartment, but outside at the requested time. If the driver has to wait for your for more than 15min up on your departure, you will be asked to pay 100CZK/5EUR extra for the waiting. That is because he is more than likely to miss his next job that was planned for him.

Should I tip the driver?

If you are happy with the service you receive, it’s customary to tip your driver between 10% and 15% of your total charge. This is entirely at your discretion. Even a very small tip will be much appreciated by your driver.

Our group is staying at different apartments/hotels; do you charge extra for additional drop-off locations?

Our transfer price from Prague airport includes a key pick up (if needed) at one destination and a drop-off at your apartment. If your party is going to another apartment or a hotel, then there will be an extra charge of 200 CZK for each additional drop-off per booking. If this is the case, you’ll be told about it in your confirmation email after you’ve booked your transfer.

If you need to collect keys from an office before going to your apartment.

If you are staying in an apartment and you need to pick up keys at the rental office/key pick up point before heading to your apartment, there is no extra charge (if both addresses are in the city centre). We charge an extra fee only if the driver has to wait for you for a significantly longer period (normally more than 15 minutes – 100CZK).

How do you use my scheduled airline arrival time to calculate my pick-up time?

When you make your transfer booking, you’ll supply us with your flight’s scheduled arrival time. From here, we track your flight in “real time” so that whether your plane is on time, early or late, we are aware of your flight status and will meet you based on your actual arrival time. We also factor in the time you’ll need to collect your luggage at baggage reclaim. The driver is present inside the arrivals hall in about 20-40 minutes after your actual arrival, depending on the origin of your flight and whether you need to collect your bags at the baggage claim.

Airport parking fee

Airport parking fee is included in the price. Please take a note of the following conditions. Our driver will be waiting inside the Terminal 1 or 2 arrivals hall at the exit D about 20 minutes after flight arrival time. Please note that the driver will wait up to 60 minutes from arrival time. If the driver has to wait for you for more than 60min after your landing time, he will have to pay the parking fee twice, which will result in an extra charge for your of 100CZK/5EUR. If you are coming from Russia, Dubai, Doha, China, S. Korea, USA or Canada,.. it will take you about 40-60min to get from your plane to the driver. If you do expect longer or require longer waiting, please make a note for the booking. From any EU country it takes only between 20-40min.
