Private transfer Prague to Nuremberg
Solid Transfers — solid-transfers.com
We drive both ways: Prague → Nuremberg and Nuremberg → Prague. Under three hours along the D5 and the Bavarian A6 — for business, for trade fairs and for the Christmas market.
The route in numbers
Distance — approximately 300 km by road
Driving time — approximately 2 hours 40 minutes of driving without stops
Vehicles — Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate (1–3 passengers) or V-Class (up to 7 passengers)
Why by car
There is no direct train; with a change in Cheb or Munich it takes over five hours. By car it is half that, and you arrive at the trade fair gate rather than at a railway station.
The route
Along the D5 via Plzeň to the Rozvadov border crossing and on along the German A6. The whole route is motorway and there are no toll gates.
And the same in reverse
We also drive Nuremberg → Prague — pick-up at an address, at your hotel or at Nuremberg Airport. The price is calculated the same way and both legs can be booked together.
Tolls and charges
Germany does not charge tolls for passenger cars. Any charges outside the Czech Republic are billed separately according to our price list and stated in the booking confirmation. For journeys leaving the Czech Republic, payment of the agreed price in advance is a condition, at the latest 24 hours before pick-up.
What it costs
The price follows our price list, is calculated from the actual road distance and is agreed in advance as a fixed sum — there is no meter. It includes fuel, motorway tolls in the Czech Republic and standard luggage.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate — base fare 800 CZK incl. VAT including the first 20 km, 36 CZK per km up to 150 km and 30 CZK per km beyond
Mercedes-Benz V-Class — base fare 921 CZK incl. VAT including the first 20 km, 46 CZK per km up to 150 km and 38 CZK per km beyond
From our price list this route works out at 9 980 CZK incl. VAT in the E-Class estate, 12 601 CZK incl. VAT in the V-Class — one way. The empty return leg is not charged.
The exact amount for your particular pick-up address is worked out by the calculator on the home page, which also allows for current traffic. The full price list is on the Price list page.
Day trip: back the same day
For journeys outside the Czech Republic the return leg is 50 % of the outbound fare, provided you return the same day and the driver waits no more than six hours — on a long-distance run he drives back empty anyway. For longer waiting or a return on another day, the agreed waiting rate applies; we settle it in advance and state it in the booking confirmation. The calculator gives you the price.
Worth seeing in Nuremberg
The Christkindlesmarkt on the Hauptmarkt is one of the oldest Christmas markets in Europe — first recorded in 1628 — and is opened each year by a girl in the role of the Nuremberg Christ Child. It sells Lebkuchen gingerbread made to centuries-old recipes and Rostbratwurst sausages, which by a rule dating from 1313 may be no longer than a finger. The Imperial Castle above the city was the seat of every Holy Roman Emperor. Albrecht Dürer lived here for twenty years and his house is now a museum. Courtroom 600 in the Palace of Justice hosted the Nuremberg trials; the room is still in use and open to visitors when no case is being heard. In December the centre is full, so it is worth booking well ahead.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a private transfer from Prague to Nuremberg?
The price is for the whole car, not per person: 9 980 CZK in a Mercedes E-Class for one to three passengers and 12 601 CZK in a V-Class for up to seven, VAT included. You do not pay for the empty drive back. Germany does not charge cars for its motorways, so nothing is added. The figure is from central Prague; the calculator works it out for your address.
How long does it take, and can we stop on the way?
The drive itself takes two hours and forty minutes; at rush hour allow a little extra for getting out of Prague. We stop for coffee or the toilet whenever you like. If you need an extra stop, in Pilsen for instance, use the Stop on the way field when you book and we confirm the price with it in advance.
Why do journeys abroad have to be paid in advance?
For every journey outside the Czech Republic we ask for payment at least 24 hours before pick-up, usually by card online when you book. The driver covers hundreds of kilometres for you and normally drives back empty, so we need to know the trip is definitely on. If your plans change more than 24 hours before, cancellation is free and you get the full amount back.
What documents do we need?
Every passenger, children included, needs a valid passport or national ID card and is responsible for their own documents. Borders inside Schengen are normally crossed without stopping, but random checks do happen. Travellers without EU citizenship need a passport and, where required, a Schengen visa.
Do you have child seats, and will our luggage fit?
Child seats are free: an infant carrier for babies, a seat or booster for older children; just give the children's ages when you book. How many suitcases fit depends on their size and the number of passengers. List them in your booking and we will tell you in the confirmation whether the E-Class is enough or the V-Class is the better choice.
Can you take us to the Nuremberg exhibition centre?
Yes, right to the entrance of the exhibition centre. During the big fairs, such as the toy fair at the turn of January and February, the city fills up, so book early.
