This is not a shared shuttle. Not a ride-hail app. A private Mercedes, one chauffeur, and a fare that does not change.
The Route
Prague to Ostrava
in four hours.
From a Prague pickup in Old Town, Vinohrady, Malá Strana, or Václav Havel Airport, your chauffeur takes the D1 east through the Vysočina highlands towards Brno. This is a long but uniform run on the busiest Czech motorway — recently completed end to end, linking Prague to the Polish border without a single set of traffic lights. At Brno the route bends northeast, crossing into Moravia, past the rolling farmland around Prostějov and Olomouc, and finally down through Ostrava's industrial outskirts to the centre.
There is no border crossing on this route — everything is Czech motorway. But Ostrava itself sits at the corner where Czech, Polish, and Slovak territory meet, and the city's character reflects that. Landmarks you pass or arrive at include Dolní Vítkovice, the post-industrial cultural centre with its iconic blast furnaces and the Bolt Tower; Stodolní street, the nightlife spine of the city; the New Town Hall observation deck, the tallest in the country; and the riverside venues where Colours of Ostrava fills the summer.
Your chauffeur watches D1 traffic before every departure. If the long-running Velké Meziříčí construction zones are active, they reroute through Žďár nad Sázavou without asking. You are not paying for traffic; you are paying for time.

The Chauffeur
What to expect
from your driver.
Your chauffeur meets you in front of your pickup address — central Prague hotel, private apartment, office, or the arrivals hall at Václav Havel Airport, where they stand inside the terminal with a Prestigo tablet displaying your name. No parking lot across the street, no meeting point a ten-minute walk away.
Conversation is a choice. If you want a quiet cabin for four hours of work or rest, the chauffeur reads that signal and lets you be. If you want context on Ostrava — the story of how the Vítkovice ironworks shut down in the 1990s and were reborn from 2002 onwards as a cultural centre; how Colours of Ostrava turned a festival in a steelworks into one of Europe's most distinctive music weekends; how the city sits at the Czech-Polish-Slovak corner — your chauffeur knows it.
Phone charger, bottled water, and WiFi are already in the cabin. Temperature to your preference. On a four-hour drive, a real rest stop halfway is part of the plan — not a rushed fuel break, but a proper stop on the D1 for coffee and a stretch before the second leg into Moravia-Silesia.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a private transfer from Prague to Ostrava take?
Approximately 4 hours door-to-door via the D1 motorway east through Brno and into Moravia-Silesia. Rush-hour congestion leaving Prague or around Brno can add 20–30 minutes. The route covers roughly 370 kilometres on the newly completed D1.
How much does a chauffeur from Prague to Ostrava cost?
Fixed fare from €610 in Mercedes E-Class (up to 3 passengers), €705 in V-Class (up to 6 passengers), or €905 in S-Class. Prices include fuel, the Czech motorway vignette, driver time, and every toll. No meter, no surge, no hidden charges.
Can I book a same-day return to Prague?
Yes, but a same-day round trip is heavy: roughly eight hours on the road plus time in Ostrava. Most clients overnight in Ostrava and return the following day, which the chauffeur can accommodate at a reduced rate. If the meeting or event is short, the driver can wait on-site and return the same evening.
Is there a border crossing on this route?
No. The Prague–Ostrava route is entirely inside the Czech Republic. Ostrava itself sits at the corner where Czech, Polish, and Slovak territory meet — the Polish border is roughly 10 km from the city centre, and the Slovak border is under an hour south. Prestigo can extend the booking across either border as a single fare.
Is a child seat available?
Yes. Rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing toddler seats, and booster seats are available at no extra cost. Please specify your child's age at booking so the correct seat is installed before pickup.
What language does the chauffeur speak?
Every Prestigo chauffeur speaks fluent English and Czech as standard. A Polish-speaking or Russian-speaking chauffeur is available on request, which many clients find useful given Ostrava's proximity to the Polish border.
