Hiring a private driver in Prague is one of the most practical decisions you can make when visiting the Czech Republic — whether you need an airport transfer, a full-day tour, or a day trip to somewhere outside the city. This guide explains what a private driver service in Prague actually covers, what it costs, and how to choose the right vehicle for your group.
Driver-Guide vs Driver Only — What's the Difference?
When people search for a private driver in Prague, they usually want one of two things:
A driver only — someone to get you from A to B. Airport to hotel, hotel to restaurant, Prague to Kutná Hora and back. No commentary, no guiding — just reliable, comfortable transportation with a professional at the wheel.
A driver-guide — a driver who is also a licensed guide. You get the transport and the expertise in one person. They drive you to Prague Castle, they also explain what you're looking at when you get there. For a family of 3 or a small group, a driver-guide is often the ideal format — you don't need a separate guide and a separate vehicle. One person, one vehicle, one price.
At Get-A-Tour, we have both. For most private tours and day trips, our driver-guides handle everything — door-to-door transport and expert commentary throughout. For pure transfers (airport pickups, point-to-point), we provide a driver without the guiding component.
Private Driver Prague — What It Costs
Pricing depends on the type of service and the vehicle:
Airport transfer: from €50 for up to 3 passengers from Prague Václav Havel Airport to the city centre. We monitor your flight in real time — if it's delayed, we adjust without extra charge.
Private city tour with driver-guide: from €200 for up to 4 hours. Covers the main highlights of Prague with door-to-door pickup from your hotel.
Full-day private driver for day trips: pricing varies by destination — Kutná Hora from €250 (up to 3 people), Karlovy Vary from €350 (up to 3 people), Dresden from €550 (up to 3 people), Vienna from €750 (up to 3 people). The price includes the vehicle and driver-guide for the full day. No hidden costs. Larger groups available on request.
Airport transfer is free when you book a tour with us. If you are flying into Prague and booking a private tour or day trip, we include the airport pickup at no extra charge. You land, our driver meets you at arrivals, and your tour begins from there. No separate transfer cost, no additional booking.

For Families: Why a Driver-Guide Makes Sense
For a family of three — two adults and a child, or three friends travelling together — a private driver-guide is almost always the best value and the best experience.
On a group tour, you share the guide with 20–40 other people. The pace is fixed, the route is fixed, and the commentary is designed for the average rather than for you. Children get bored. Adults who want to linger somewhere can't.
With a private driver-guide, the tour works around your family. You stop where it interests you. The guide adjusts the stories for the ages in the group. If someone needs a break, you take one. If you want to spend an extra 20 minutes at the castle and skip the souvenir shops, that's your call.
For a family of 3, the cost of a private driver-guide is often comparable to buying three individual group tour tickets — and the experience is incomparably better.
Sprinter Vans for Groups up to 20 People
For larger groups — corporate teams, extended families, school groups, incentive travel — we operate Mercedes Sprinter vans accommodating up to 20 passengers comfortably.
A Sprinter with a driver-guide is the standard format for group day trips from Prague: one vehicle, everyone travels together, no one gets separated, and the guide addresses the whole group without a microphone or earpiece. It's simpler, more efficient, and significantly more enjoyable than splitting a large group across multiple taxis or joining separate group tours.
Sprinter hire in Prague with a driver-guide is available for:
- Airport transfers for large groups
- Day trips to Kutná Hora, Český Krumlov, Karlovy Vary, Dresden and beyond
- Multi-day programmes across Czech Republic and Central Europe
- Corporate events and conference excursions
- Prague city tours for groups
Prague Airport Transfer — Private Car Service
Prague Václav Havel Airport is approximately 17 km from the city centre — around 30–45 minutes by private car depending on traffic. Public transport options exist (bus + metro) but involve luggage handling, transfers, and navigating an unfamiliar system at the end of a flight.
A private airport transfer means your driver is waiting at arrivals with your name on a board, helps with luggage, and drives you directly to your hotel. No queues, no navigation, no stress.
We monitor your flight in real time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the pickup time automatically. You don't need to call or message us — we're already tracking it.
Private airport transfers from Prague are available 24 hours a day, including early morning and late night arrivals.
What Vehicles Do We Use?
Standard private car — comfortable sedan or estate, up to 4 passengers with luggage. Suitable for couples, small families, solo travellers needing a reliable transfer.
Minivan / MPV — up to 7–8 passengers. The right choice for a group of 5–7 people on a day trip or a family with significant luggage.
Mercedes Sprinter — up to 20 passengers. For larger groups needing a single vehicle for transfers, city tours, or day trips from Prague.
All vehicles are air-conditioned, clean, and maintained to a high standard. Child seats are available on request — let us know when you book.
Day Trips from Prague with a Private Driver
A private driver opens up destinations that are impractical or time-consuming to reach by public transport:
Kutná Hora — 70 km east of Prague, 1h15min by car. The medieval silver mining town and Bone Church. One of the most striking day trips from Prague. Full guide →
Český Krumlov — 170 km south. UNESCO-listed town on a river bend with a castle. A full day by private car, impossible to do comfortably by train in a single day.
Karlovy Vary — 130 km west. The spa resort town where Goethe and Beethoven came to take the waters. Best combined with the medieval town of Loket. Full guide →
Dresden — 150 km northwest, across the German border. The Frauenkirche, the Zwinger, the Semperoper. A full-day excursion that many Prague visitors miss simply because they don't know how close it is.
