Driving from Germany to Prague Airport: what to prepare
Plan your drive to the car park in your confirmation. Before leaving, check the route, any vignette requirement and time for parking and the shuttle.

Plan the route to the car park first
Your first destination is your assigned car park, not the airport terminal. Choose your route from Germany based on your starting point, current traffic and confirmed address. A fixed driving time would not allow for queues, breaks or roadworks.
Check the vignette for your route
Before using a tolled Czech motorway, check whether your vehicle needs an electronic vignette. Find tolled sections and exemptions on the official eDalnice website. Not every journey from the border automatically requires the same vignette.
Include your return journey
Check the registration country, number plate and validity start when buying. The validity should cover your return too if you use tolled sections. Verify the status in the official system before driving.
Plan payment and booking
Pay cash in EUR or CZK at the car park on arrival. Cards are not accepted and no deposit is required. Open the German booking from the German website. Save your confirmation with the exact address and phone number.
Prepare for your return too
Save the pickup instructions and allow extra time for driving, parking and the whole transfer. Check your required terminal arrival time with your airline. After returning, call the driver once you have all your bags.
