Unofficial taxi services can be ordered via apps or operated with a taximeter. Pick-ups take place at express car parks P1 EXPRESS, P2 EXPRESS, and PB EXPRESS. At P1 EXPRESS and PB EXPRESS, these locations are marked as Taxi Point.
When using any taxi service other than the official Uber Airport, exercise caution and avoid overpriced rides. Prague Airport does not guarantee the accuracy of transportation pricing when using unofficial taxi services. For your safety, do not accept ride offers from individuals standing outside terminals offering transport outside of the official Uber Airport service.
If you are approached with an unsolicited offer of transport outside the official Uber Airport service, do not accept it. Be cautious of individuals claiming to be taxi drivers, often wearing labels such as "Official Taxi"—these do not represent the official Uber Airport taxi service.
Taxi Fares Within Prague
As of 1 October 2026, taxi fares calculated using a taximeter are no longer subject to maximum fare regulation in Prague.
Taxi prices may therefore vary between providers. A typical fare from Prague Airport to the city centre (approx. 20 km) is around CZK 800 / EUR 32. We recommend checking the fare conditions before starting your journey. Following the removal of maximum fare limits, there is a risk that some taxi providers may charge prices significantly higher than the usual market rate. Whenever possible, consider using a service where the total fare is known in advance, such as the official Uber Airport service, other ride-hailing apps, or reputable taxi dispatch companies. At the end of your journey, always ask for a receipt and check the amount charged. If you suspect unfair or fraudulent behaviour by the driver, you can contact the Prague Municipal Police by calling 156.
The official Uber Airport service shows the total fare before you confirm your booking. Although maximum taxi fares in Prague have been abolished, Uber Airport remains subject to fare limits agreed contractually with Prague Airport.
Safety Recommendations
When using traditional metered taxis, there have been complaints of fare overcharging and reports of illegally modified taximeters. Be vigilant—verify the fare, and consider using the official Uber Airport service, a trusted dispatch center, or a service that provides a fixed fare in advance. As an alternative, Prague’s public transport offers a fast, safe, and affordable connection.
Licensed taxis must display a TAXI sign externally, a yellow registration sticker, and a taxi driver ID card clearly visible inside the car.
The validity of the sticker and driver’s ID can be verified on the website of the Ministry of Transport.
Verify a Taxi Driver’s License
After the ride, always ask for a printed receipt from the taximeter and verify the fare. The receipt must include, among other details, the carrier’s information, pick-up and drop-off locations, distance traveled, and fare breakdown. If the fare is clearly excessive or the driver refuses to issue a receipt, do not pay and contact the Municipal Police at 156.
If you have already paid an excessive fare or encountered another issue during transport, you may file a complaint with the Prague City Hall at taxi@praha.eu.
If possible, attach the following supporting documents to your complaint:
- Vehicle information (e.g., license plate, sticker number, or driver’s ID)
- Route details — where, when, and to where you traveled
- The receipt for the ride
- Your contact information
Rideshare Applications
For rides via rideshare apps, traditional taxi regulations apply only in a limited manner. Regulated maximum taxi fares do not apply when booking through an app or website if the total fare is agreed upon in advance. The vehicle is not required to have a taximeter in such cases. The official Uber Airport service displays the price before confirming the booking, and—unlike other rideshare apps—may not exceed the maximum regulated fares applicable to traditional taxi services.
Available rideshare options include E.g. Uber, Bolt, and Liftago.
