Mirek's report from the transfer Budapest Prague

Transportation from Budapest to Prague

Mirek's English is not good enough to write reports. I translated his original Czech text into English. I tried to keep the same concept, but I found it very difficult. I hope you like it. If you do not, forward all complaint to Mirek :D.


Transfer summary:
Distance to travel: 550 km each way, total 1100
Travel time: approximatelly 12 hours + stops en route
Traffic conditions: very good, except of morning Budapest
Pick up point: Marriott Budapest
Drop off point: Prague Sax hotel

Prague to Budapest

I had to pick up 6 South American clients in Budapest Marriott hotel at 9:00am. I found it rough as I had to leave Prague short after 2:00am... An early start for sure.
After all it was better than driving during the day as traffic could be worse. I was lucky. Traffic was almost zero, visibility great and Mercedes Benz Vito drove smoothly as usual.


From Prague, passing Brno and Bratislava, to Budapest

I went on the ring road in Brno and headed down to Slovakia, through their capital Bratislava further down to Hungarian boarder. I had to buy two vignettes, one for Slovakia and one for Hungary. That were the only delays I encountered. I approached Budapest around 7:30am. The traffic there was already terrible. Even though the Marriott is not far to drive from my direction, it still took me over one hour to get to the hotel.

Taxi from Budapest to Prague with a stop in Jihlava

I arrived shortly after 8:30. I decided to have a quick nap to regain energy. When I woke up at 8:58 I could see the client waiting in the lobby. We introduced each other, loaded the bags and right away we were on the way. Around 13:00 we stopped for lunch in Jihlava. I had another nap instead of lunch. It was more than welcome :D.

Then it was just a piece of cake to get back to Prague. We made it in less than 2 hours.

After all I have to admit, it was an easy drive and I enjoyed it even though I was at work. 

The cost of the service was 13000 CZK as there were couple of special arrangements. You can book the transfer from Prague to Budapest or Budapest to Prague too.

Summarized benefits of Prague chauffeured driven car hire

First of all we have to find out for whom can the service bring benefits. I trust that my clients who hire me as a private driver to drive to cities in the Czech republic or even further to Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland or other, are clients interested in comfortable, swift and safe travelling. Usually businessmen that need to reach business meetings or other important event on time.

Second group of clients are small groups of 3 – 8 passengers. If you compare train / flight tickets per person, waiting time at the airport / train station and travel time you realize that hiring a private chauffeured driven car or minibus is cheaper!!

Third group of clients are people who want to have comfort, privacy and options to stop en route to the final destination. Freedom of travelling above all!
