Mercedes-Benz V-Class on a long-distance route between cities

Train or private transfer from Prague to Vienna or Munich?

The train is a good choice from city center to city center. Prague and Munich have no high-speed rail link: the direct train takes about 5.5–6 hours station to station, a private transfer about 4 hours door to door. To Vienna the train takes about 4 hours station to station. A car with a driver makes sense when there are three or more of you, when you have luggage, a flight to catch from Vienna or Munich, a meeting on the way, or a destination outside the center. Your driver picks you up at the door of your hotel or office and drops you exactly where you need to be — no changes, no carrying suitcases.

River cruise ship on the Danube

River-cruise transfers: Prague to Passau, Vilshofen, Regensburg — and back

Many Danube river cruises start or end in Passau, Vilshofen, Regensburg or Nuremberg, about 3 to 3.5 hours from Prague by car. We plan the departure backwards from your embarkation time, with time to spare, confirm the ship's berth on the day, and the driver drops you and your luggage right at the gangway. We also pick you up after disembarkation and drive you to Prague or to the airport.

FAQ

Long-distance transfers in practice

Which vehicle for 10 people with luggage to Munich?
A Sprinter minibus (8–19 seats) — how much luggage fits depends on the seating layout. For 4–7 people a V-Class minivan is enough, for 1–3 a sedan. Send us the number of passengers and suitcases and we will recommend the vehicle.
How do we get from Prague to Vienna by private transfer?
Transport Artists drives from Prague to Vienna door to door in about 3.5–4 hours (330 km), in one vehicle with an English-speaking driver: a Mercedes-Benz sedan for up to 3 passengers, a V-Class for up to 7 or a Sprinter for up to 19. The fixed price quoted in advance includes tolls and motorway vignettes, and you can add a stop on the way, for example in Český Krumlov, Telč or Mikulov.
How long is the drive from Prague to Vienna, Munich or Budapest?
Vienna is 330 km (about 3.5–4 hours), Munich 385 km (about 4 hours), Budapest 535 km (about 5.5 hours), Dresden 150 km (about 2 hours) — door to door, depending on traffic. Approximate times for other routes are in the overview above.
Can you pick us up at Vienna or Munich airport and drive us to Prague?
Yes. We track your flight, the driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and drives you door to door to Prague — about 4 hours from Vienna Airport and 3.5–4 hours from Munich Airport. In the other direction we plan the departure from Prague around your flight, with time for check-in.
Can you drive us from Prague Airport straight to Karlovy Vary?
Yes. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and drives you directly to your hotel in Karlovy Vary — about 1.5 hours.
How do we get from Passau or Vilshofen to Prague after our river cruise?
We meet you at the ship after disembarkation and drive you to your hotel in Prague or to Prague Airport — about 3 hours from Passau, 3.5 hours from Vilshofen.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. Stops are agreed in advance and included in the plan and the price — lunch, a short visit, a meeting in another city. The driver knows the route and is happy to advise, but is not a licensed guide.
Can the driver wait and drive us back the same day?
Yes. A return on the same or a later day is quoted as one job, with waiting included in the quote. For a full-day program outside Prague, chauffeur hire by the day is often the better option.
Is a private transfer the same as a taxi?
You book a private transfer in advance at a fixed price for the whole route. The same vehicle and English-speaking driver take you door to door, with stops agreed in advance, and we track your flight if you are being picked up at an airport.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. We quote one fixed price for the whole route, including tolls, motorway vignettes and any stops agreed in advance, so it does not change with the number of passengers in the vehicle.
Do you invoice foreign companies?
Yes. We invoice Czech and foreign companies with 14-day payment terms; for EU companies please send your VAT ID. Private groups pay by card through a secure payment link or by bank transfer in advance.
What is the cancellation policy for long-distance transfers?
Canceling more than 48 hours before pickup is free of charge (5% if the ride is prepaid). Between 48 and 24 hours before pickup we charge 50% of the price; less than 24 hours before pickup, or in the event of a no-show, 100%. Bookings over €1,000 excl. VAT and multi-day bookings have longer notice periods. You can cancel by email or WhatsApp. Full details are in our cancellation policy.
What do we need to cross the border?
Citizens of EU and Schengen countries need a valid national ID card or passport; all other passengers need a valid passport (and a Schengen visa if their nationality requires one). Border checks within the Schengen Area are occasional but do happen, so every passenger should carry their document. Motorway vignettes, tolls and vehicle documents are our responsibility and are included in the price.
