About Renting a Car at Prague Airport
Václav Havel Airport (PRG) is located approximately 17 km west of Prague's city center, roughly 25-35 minutes' drive depending on traffic. With 24 rental agencies on-site you'll always find a good offer right upon arrival. Pick up your car in Terminal 1 or 2 and drive directly onto motorway D7 towards the city.
The airport serves all of Bohemia and is the starting point for trips to Karlovy Vary (130 km, approximately 1.5 hours) and Plzeň (90 km, approximately 1 hour). Avoid rush hour traffic on D7 on weekdays from 07-09 and 16-18. Book your rental car in advance during summer season - queues at the counter can get long.
Gas stations are located along E48 just outside the airport area at lower prices than in the city center. Check whether your rental agency is located in Terminal 2 building or requires a shuttle to an off-airport depot. How long does it take to drive from PRG to Prague's Old Town?
Approximately 25-35 minutes via motorway D7 and then Evropská, depending on traffic. Are there parking options at the rental car counter? Yes, short-term parking is available directly outside the terminals, but most rental agencies have their own depots with free parking during pickup.
Can I drive the rental car to Austria or Germany? Most rental agencies allow driving within the EU, but always inform in advance and check if an additional fee applies for border crossing.
We compare prices from all major providers at Prague Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
