A private transfer from Františkovy Lázně to Prague covers 175 km — past Cheb and then east on the motorway across West and Central Bohemia — and takes approximately 2.5 hours door to door. The fixed fare starts at €270 in a Mercedes E-Class for up to 3 passengers; groups of up to 6 travel in the V-Class from €300; the S-Class is available from €445 for executive or VIP travel. Your chauffeur collects you at your spa hotel or apartment in Františkovy Lázně, or at Cheb station, and drops you at your Prague hotel, your meeting or Václav Havel Airport.
The fare is agreed before you travel and does not change: fuel, the Czech motorway vignette, bottled water, Wi-Fi and child seats on request are all included. From the smallest of the West Bohemian spa towns to the centre of Prague, there is one car, one chauffeur and nothing to arrange on arrival.
The Route
Františkovy Lázně to Prague
in two and a half hours.
From a pickup among the yellow Empire-style façades of the spa quarter, your chauffeur drives the few minutes south to Cheb and then turns east. There are two good ways to Prague from here: the D6 past Sokolov and Karlovy Vary, or south-east to the D5 and on through Plzeň. Both stay entirely inside the Czech Republic — the German border is close to town, but you never cross it.
Total distance is approximately 175 kilometres; driving time is two and a half hours in normal conditions. Your chauffeur checks both roads before departure and takes whichever is clearer that day — roadworks on the D6 or a slow stretch on the D5 can change the choice.
Either way you arrive on the western side of Prague. Václav Havel Airport is a short run from the end of the motorway; the Old Town, Malá Strana or Vinohrady are another 20–30 minutes, depending on the time of day. The car stops at your door.

Everything included,

The Chauffeur
What to expect
from your driver.
Your chauffeur is at the entrance of your spa hotel at the agreed time, takes the bags from reception and has the car ready for a long, quiet drive. No taxi to Cheb station, no change of train.
Two and a half hours is time to rest, read or make calls. Your chauffeur keeps the cabin quiet unless you would like to talk. Ask about Prague if it helps — your hotel’s neighbourhood, a good place for dinner, how early to leave for the airport tomorrow.
Water, charger and Wi-Fi are already in the back. Ask for a coffee stop whenever you like. In Prague your chauffeur carries the luggage to reception or the check-in area, not just to the kerb.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a private transfer from Františkovy Lázně to Prague take?
Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes door to door, via Cheb and either the D6 through Karlovy Vary or the D5 through Plzeň. Friday afternoon traffic into Prague can add 15–20 minutes.
How much is a taxi or chauffeur from Františkovy Lázně to Prague?
A fixed fare from €270 in a Mercedes E-Class for up to 3 passengers, €300 in the V-Class for up to 6, or €445 in the S-Class. The price includes fuel, the Czech vignette and driver time — it is per car, not per person.
Can you pick me up at my spa hotel or at Cheb station?
Yes. Give us the hotel name or your train arrival time at Cheb. Your chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance or at the station and drives you directly to your Prague address.
Is a private transfer better than the train from Františkovy Lázně to Prague?
The train takes around three hours or more, usually via Cheb, plus a taxi at the Prague end. For a solo traveller with light luggage, the train is cheaper. A private transfer is door to door, leaves when you want, takes all your luggage and costs the same for one passenger or three.
Can we stop on the way from Františkovy Lázně to Prague?
Yes. Cheb, Loket and Karlovy Vary are the most popular stops. Tell us at booking and we include the stop in a fixed quote. A short coffee or rest break is always included.
Do we cross the German border on the way to Prague?
No. Františkovy Lázně is only a few kilometres from Germany, but the drive to Prague runs east and stays entirely inside the Czech Republic. No documents are checked; only the Czech vignette applies, and it is included.
