Taxi from Airport to hotel. Pre arrange or hail at airport?

My hotel (Pentahotel) have quoted me 750czk (30 euro) for a taxi pickup to the hotel. Is this a fair price or will I get one cheaper at the airprort? How much is it usually?

Rideguru and Farefinder have very different prices. What's normal? Are there taxi apps like uber/mytaxi i should use?

Bus 100 Airport -> Zličín Metro B Zličín -> Křižíkova

50 min, 32 CZK

Even if you decide against public transport, be wary of hailing cabs on a street, they will rob you. Preorder them by phonecall or a mobile app.

Public transit, it's easy and the metro takes you literally everywhere in the city.

Catch a bus, #101, takes you to Zlicin metro. From there get a train to wherever your going. One way to downtown....after Andel its all downtown. Save you a ton and will cost you around 32czk.

Uber is normal, but prefered is to take public transportation option to nearest metro and just go with metro.

750 czk is a lot ! You would be charged 500 czk max at the airport. Still, taxi will notice you are a foreigner and will try to charge you more. Best is to take the bus from the airport, it will take you to a subway station. The second option is to take an Uber, hopefully you won't be landing during a protest against them. Finally if not working, get a cab but negotiate the price before to get in. You can easily compare with Uber's prices.

Uber should cost ~390,-. I will recommend not to use regular taxi if you cant speak czech.

Liftago; I landed at 1230am local time, got a driver within 10min and was in front of my airbnb in 25min from landing. Very good service and great rates...10/10

You can easily arrange it ahead of time with companies like Prague Airport Transfer that will give you a fixed rate and a discount to go back to the airport with them. Don't take a regular taxi unless they start the meter but fixed price is better in case of traffic (check the time you arrive). 750czk from your hotel isn't bad at all because its the most reliable service.
