Katowice Pyrzowice Airport (KTW) Transfers & Airport Taxis Fixed-price private cars and minibuses to Katowice, Kraków, Zakopane and the Beskid and Tatra ski resorts

Arrive happy with Katowice airport transfers & rides

Katowice Airport sits at Pyrzowice, about 35 km north of Katowice and 113 km from Kraków. The second number is the one that catches people out. Most travellers who land here are heading for Kraków's Old Town or the Tatra slopes, not the city on the ticket, and the metropolitan airport bus runs to Katowice, not Kraków. Walk out of arrivals at Terminal C with cases, children or skis and the questions start: which bus, which taxi, and what will the fare be after an hour and a half on the road?

Pre-book with hoppa and that is settled before you fly. Your fare is fixed at booking and your meeting point is on your e-ticket. Your driver comes from a network of 70,000+ vetted local operators that has carried 40M+ travellers across 182+ countries, and hoppa is trusted by Mastercard and UnionPay.

Private car from £54 · Minibus from £57 · Free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel · Prices are indicative. Check hoppa.com for live prices.

Everything you need to know before you book your Katowice Airport transfer

Pick a topic to see the most common questions travellers ask about transfers from Katowice Airport: fixed prices, vehicles, delays, deals, trust, and managing your booking.

What does it cost from Katowice Airport to Kraków or my hotel?

What's the price from Katowice Airport to Kraków, Katowice or my hotel?

Prices vary by route, vehicle, season, and time of day. Enter your dates and party size above to see your fixed quoted price for the exact journey.

What's included in my fixed Katowice Airport price?

Your quoted price covers vehicle hire, fuel, the driver's service fee (tips), tolls, parking, taxes, and any entry, congestion or airport-access fees on the route. There's nothing extra to pay the driver on arrival.

What's NOT included in a Katowice Airport transfer, and what could cost extra?

Charged separately and disclosed before they apply: overtime fees if your trip runs longer than reserved, excess-mileage fees if you exceed your booked distance, night-time service fees on some routes (22:00–08:00), holiday or event surcharges in some regions, additional child seats beyond the first one (which is free), and extra stops you add during the ride.

Will the quoted price change between booking and travel?

No. Once your booking is confirmed, your price is locked: it's what you pay regardless of demand, season or currency changes between today and your travel date. Booking early is the surest way to secure today's rate.

Will I pay anything to the driver on arrival at Katowice Airport?

No. Your fare is paid in full at booking and covers everything the driver's owed: tips, tolls, fuel, taxes, parking. Bookings are pre-paid via credit card, debit card, or PayPal on the hoppa platform. The only reasons your final charge could differ from the quote are changes you make on the day (extra stops, route changes) or fees for damage or smoking, which are disclosed in our terms.

Are there night-time or holiday surcharges at Katowice Airport?

Some services include a night-time fee for travel between 22:00 and 08:00, and prices may adjust on local holidays. Both are always reflected in the quote you see before paying, so there's nothing additional charged at the trip itself.

Can I tip the driver?

Tipping is entirely at your discretion. The driver's service fee is already included in your fare, so a tip is appreciated but never expected.

Do prices change for larger group sizes?

Rates are set per vehicle category, not per person. Moving up to a larger vehicle to fit a bigger party or extra baggage is reflected in the fixed quote you see at booking.

I think I was overcharged

Disputes must be raised within 14 days of the charge date by emailing customer service with your card statement and a brief explanation. After 14 days, charges are considered final.

Which vehicle fits my group at Katowice Airport?

How many people and how much luggage fit in each vehicle from Katowice Airport?

Vehicle categories include Sedan, Business Sedan, Minivan, Business Minivan, Minibus and Bus. Each has a strict insured maximum for passengers and luggage that drivers must adhere to. Default luggage allowance is one 24-inch suitcase per passenger, and bags larger than 24″ count as two pieces. Choose a category that fits both your party and your bags.

Will I get the exact car shown in the picture?

Vehicle images are for illustration only. You're booking a category, not a specific model, and we may upgrade you to a higher category at no extra charge if your selected one isn't available.

Which vehicles can I book from Katowice Airport?

Private cars, MPVs, minibuses and coaches all take you straight from the airport to your address, with no other passengers and no extra stops. Search your date in the booking box to see the vehicles available for your flight, as availability can vary.

Can I add a child seat to my Katowice Airport transfer?

Yes. We offer infant carriers, baby seats and boosters depending on your supplier and route. Add the seat type you need during booking so it can be confirmed in advance.

How much does a child seat cost?

The first child seat in your booking is included free. Any additional seats may carry a fee from the supplier. The exact amount is shown in your booking quote before you pay, so there are no surprises.

I forgot to request a child seat. Can I add it after booking?

Yes. Contact customer service as soon as possible to add it to your booking. Late requests are honoured subject to availability, so the sooner you ask, the better. Important: no refund or replacement applies if a driver arrives without a seat that wasn't requested in time.

Is my child seat guaranteed once I've added it to my booking?

If you've added the seat at the time of booking, it's confirmed with your transport supplier. Seats requested after the booking is placed are subject to availability. If a seat ends up unavailable on arrival because it wasn't requested in time, no refund applies.

Can I bring a pet or service animal?

Yes, at no extra charge. Notify us at booking so the right vehicle is allocated. Important: animals count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity, so a 5-seat vehicle with two pets has three human seats.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible options at Katowice Airport?

Yes. Note any accessibility need (wheelchair, mobility scooter, special assistance) in the booking comments. We work with specialised partners and make reasonable efforts to accommodate.

What if my flight into Katowice is delayed?

Will my driver wait at Katowice Airport if my flight is late?

Yes. On a domestic flight, your driver waits up to 60 minutes free from the moment you land. On an international flight, a 30-minute buffer is added to your landing time first, and the free wait starts after it.

What if my flight is delayed by more than 2 hours?

A delay of more than 2 hours after your scheduled arrival may mean rescheduling your transfer, so contact customer service. If your driver is unable to pick you up as scheduled, the order is cancelled without charge.

What if my flight is cancelled entirely?

Your transfer is cancelled free of charge. Contact customer service immediately so we can update the booking.

What if my flight is diverted away from Katowice?

Contact us immediately. We'll do our best to reschedule your pickup, though we can't guarantee a free transfer if the new airport is in a different region or significantly further from your destination.

Where will I meet my driver at Katowice Airport?

24 hours before pickup we send a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact meeting point and your driver's contact details. Meet & greet at the arrival gate is available on request, subject to airport policy. If it's not possible at the gate, we'll assign an alternative meeting point.

What if I'm stuck inside Katowice Airport (luggage, immigration)?

Use the emergency number on your e-ticket to call the driver or local supplier and let them know you're still in the terminal. The driver will wait through their free period and, if reached in time, can sometimes extend.

What counts as a no-show?

Not appearing within the free waiting period and being unreachable for additional time. No-shows are charged in full and non-refundable.

Best price & current deals for Katowice Airport

Where can I find a discount code?

Active offers are applied automatically when you search, so there's nothing to enter manually. To see what's currently running, check our discount codes page or our homepage banner.

Should I book my Katowice Airport transfer early?

Yes. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for the best vehicle selection. Bookings within 24 hours are subject to availability and may carry an expedited service fee. Booking early also locks in today's price.

Is there a low-deposit option?

On selected services and destinations, yes: pay a deposit now and the balance before your travel date. If the balance isn't paid in time the booking auto-cancels and the deposit is forfeited. Note: low-deposit bookings can't be paid with hoppa Credits.

What is Refund Protect?

An optional add-on at checkout from our partner Refund Protect. If you (or anyone in your party) can't attend for a covered reason, you receive 100% of your booking back. Refund Protect's decision is final. See their full terms when adding the option.

Can I use hoppa Credits from a previous booking?

Yes. hoppa Credits apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email. They expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred between accounts, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

Can I cancel my Katowice Airport transfer and get a refund?

Yes, depending on timing and vehicle size. Up to 7 seats: free cancellation at least 24 hours before pickup; 100% charge less than 24 hours before. 8–14 seats: free at least 48 hours before pickup. 16+ seats: free at least 14 days before pickup, 50% back less than 14 days but more than 7 days, no refund less than 7 days before pickup. Approved refunds reach your original payment method in 5 to 7 business days.

What does a taxi or transfer from Katowice Airport to Kraków or Katowice cost?

The airport's official taxi firm, Katowice Airport Taxi, waits in front of arrivals Terminal C. It charges by the kilometre on its own published tariff, with motorway tolls on top, so check its current rates before you fly. On a 113 km run to Kraków, every kilometre counts.

Pre-booked, the number is yours before you pack. A private car for up to three is from £54 to Katowice city centre, about 36 minutes away, and from £115 to Kraków, about 1 hr 20 min down the motorway. A seven-seat minibus to Kraków is from £124. The same £54 reaches Gliwice, and a connection to Kraków Airport is from £170 in a private car. Prices are indicative. Your exact fare shows at booking.

Every figure is all-in. Fuel, the driver's service fee, parking and any motorway toll on the way to Kraków are inside it, so nothing changes hands at the door.

My flight into Katowice is running late. Will my driver still be there?

A late landing is the worry most people bring to Pyrzowice, because the airport is a long way from anywhere you might be staying. Add your flight number when you book; it tells your driver which arrival to meet.

The free waiting time is counted from the scheduled arrival, not from touchdown. International arrivals get a 30-minute buffer first, then up to 60 minutes free. A flight due at 21:10 is covered until 22:40, passport control and the baggage belt included.

If you land more than 2 hours after the scheduled time, contact customer service to reschedule. A cancelled flight means a full refund. Can't see your driver in the hall? The number on your e-ticket reaches hoppa's team in an average of 11 seconds, at any hour.

Car, MPV or minibus: what suits your party out of Pyrzowice?

The distance decides the stakes here, but your party decides the vehicle. A couple heading for a Kraków hotel needs a car. A family of five with ski bags needs more boot than seats. Use this as a guide:

  • One to three people: a private car, usually the lowest fixed fare from the airport.
  • Four or five with luggage: a private MPV keeps everyone and the cases in one vehicle, and the first child seat costs nothing.
  • Six to sixteen, or a ski group: a private minibus takes the whole party and the kit for one price.
  • Larger groups: a private coach for teams and event groups arriving together.

Want to see every vehicle on offer for your flight? Search your date in the booking box, as availability can vary.

Your travel style Recommended service Why it works

Family of four or five with cases
Private MPV Everyone and every case in one vehicle. Ask for your first child seat at booking and it costs nothing.
Ski group heading for Białka, Szczyrk or Zakopane
Private minibus Skis and boards count as two pieces each, so a minibus carries the people and the kit together. Declare every bag when you book.
Business trip to Katowice or Gliwice
Executive car A higher-class car to a meeting or conference, and an invoice from customer service within 30 days of the trip.

Accessible vehicle on request Add the wheelchair to the notes when you book. hoppa makes reasonable efforts to meet special requirements, but a suitable vehicle cannot be guaranteed.

Is hoppa cheaper than the Katowice Airport taxi or the AP bus?

Each way out of Katowice Airport has a fair use case, and the right one depends on where you are going:

  • The ZTM airport bus (line AP) runs between the airport and Katowice Sądowa in the city centre on a public-transport ticket. Travelling light to central Katowice in daylight? It is the lowest-cost option.
  • Private coach companies also run timetabled services from the airport, including one via Katowice station to Kraków station. Check the airport's bus page for current routes before you rely on one.
  • The official airport taxi waits in front of Terminal C and charges by the kilometre on its published tariff, with tolls on top. It suits a short hop to Katowice, and you can book it ahead on the operator's own website.
  • Ride-hailing apps set the price when you request the car, not before you fly.

The bus and the coaches have fixed ticket prices too. Where a pre-booked fixed price earns its place is the longer run: to Kraków, to the mountains, or to any address the bus does not reach. It is the same figure whatever time you land, and it takes you to the door.

Transport option Indicative price to Katowice city centre Journey time What is included and what to watch for
hoppa private car (up to 3)
from £54 about 36 min A fixed figure in pounds, agreed at booking, from the terminal to the address you entered. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel.
hoppa private MPV (up to 5)

hoppa private minibus (up to 7)
from £62 about 36 min Seven seats on one booking to one door. Add child seats on the same booking form.
ZTM airport bus, line AP
Public-transport ticket Timetabled, check ZTM The lowest-cost way into Katowice for anyone travelling light. It ends at Katowice Sądowa, so the last stretch to your address is up to you, and it does not go to Kraków.
Official airport taxi
Per-km tariff, tolls extra Same road Katowice Airport Taxi waits in front of arrivals Terminal C. It is the airport's official carrier, charges on its published tariff and takes advance bookings on its own website.
Hire car
Daily rate plus extras Same road, plus parking Worth it if you plan to tour Silesia and the mountains yourself. For a single run to a hotel, you pay for days of hire and parking you may not use.

Watch the hidden cost: Kraków is 113 km from the terminal and Białka Tatrzańska is 203 km. Over that distance, a fare counted by the kilometre, with tolls on top, is a big number to discover with tired children and a pile of ski bags. A hoppa fare is settled at booking, cancels free up to 24 hours before travel on vehicles up to 7 seats, and comes with a driver who already knows if your flight is late.

1

Enter your route and flight

Put Katowice Airport as the pickup and your hotel, apartment or chalet as the drop-off, with the full street address. Add your flight number so your driver can follow the arrival.

2

Pick the vehicle

Private car, MPV, minibus and coach appear side by side, each with a fixed all-in price in pounds. Choose by headcount and luggage, and count skis or boards as two pieces each.

3

Add what you need

Request a child seat (the first one is free), note a pet, a pushchair or a wheelchair, and add anything else in the booking comments.

4

Get your confirmation

A confirmation email arrives straight after booking. 24 hours before pickup you get the exact meeting point and your driver's contact details by SMS or WhatsApp.

A few things worth knowing before you book:

Six details decide whether your Katowice transfer runs smoothly, so check them before you pay.

  • The first child seat is free. Request it at booking: the vehicle extras page shows the seats and boosters you can add, and a seat that is not on the booking can mean a refused ride with no refund.
  • Your fixed price is all-in. Fuel, parking, the driver's service fee and any motorway toll on the route are already inside it, so there is nothing to pay the driver.
  • Each passenger gets one case up to 24 inches. Anything longer, including skis and snowboards, counts as two pieces, so declare it and size up on the vehicle types page.
  • Free cancellation runs up to 24 hours before travel on vehicles up to 7 seats, 48 hours before on 8 to 14 seaters and 14 days before on 16 seats and above. The hoppa help centre walks you through a cancellation or a change.
  • Pets and service animals travel at no extra charge. They count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity, so add them when you book.
  • Book inside 24 hours of travel and an expedited booking fee applies, so lock the ride in the day before at the latest.

From Pyrzowice to the Old Town and the ski slopes: where your transfer takes you

Pyrzowice is a gateway, not a destination. Katowice is the closest stop, Kraków's Old Town is the most popular, and Zakopane and the Tatra slopes are about two and a half hours to the south. Pick the place first and the car follows.

Can I cancel or change my hoppa transfer?

Yes. For a private car or any vehicle up to 7 seats, cancel at least 24 hours before travel for a full refund. Larger vehicles carry longer windows: 8 to 14 seaters at least 48 hours before, and 16+ seaters at least 14 days before. Where your booking is eligible, you can make one free change to passenger names, contact numbers, passenger count or luggage count, within the booked vehicle's capacity. Changing the route, the vehicle type or the pickup point means cancelling and rebooking at the current price. The first child seat is free when you request it at booking.

If your flight into Katowice is cancelled, the transfer is cancelled free of charge. Contact customer service straight away so the booking is closed.

Is hoppa transfer reliable?

It is a fair question at an airport this far from the cities it serves. Booking a stranger for a 113 km run to Kraków, or a winter drive to the Tatras, takes trust. Here is what stands behind it.

hoppa's managed network connects you to 70,000+ vetted local operators across 182+ countries, each one checked for licensing, insurance and service standards. More than 40 million travellers have ridden with it, and Mastercard and UnionPay trust it with ground transport for their own networks. Fixed prices, real-time flight tracking, and 24/7 support mean your transfer is never in doubt.

Katowice Airport has its own risks, and the service is set up for each of them:

  • The long run south. Kraków is about 1 hr 20 min away and Zakopane about 2 hr 25 min. Your fare for that distance is fixed before you fly, not worked out at the kerb.
  • A busy kerb. The official taxi rank stands in front of arrivals Terminal C, right where you walk out. Your meeting point and your driver's contact details reach you before pickup, so there is no guessing which car is yours.
  • A late flight. On a domestic flight, your up to 60 minutes of free waiting starts when you land. On an international flight, a 30-minute buffer is added to your landing time first, and the free wait starts after it. Land more than 2 hours late and you contact customer service to reschedule.
  • Someone to call. The number on your e-ticket reaches hoppa's team in an average of 11 seconds, with a 99.7% answer rate, 24 hours a day.

Can an AI assistant book hoppa?

Yes. Mastercard's Agentic Pay platform is powered by hoppa, meaning AI agents can search, compare, and complete transfer bookings on your behalf, across hoppa's full network of 70,000+ vetted providers, without human intervention. hoppa is built for the agentic travel era.

Landing at Katowice Airport: Terminal C, the taxi rank and where to meet your driver

You come out into the arrivals hall of Terminal C after passport control, where needed, and the baggage belt. Your e-ticket names the meeting point for your booking. Three things to know about the pickup:

  • Private cars and minibuses: your driver meets you at the meeting point on your e-ticket, and their contact details arrive by SMS or WhatsApp 24 hours before pickup.
  • The taxi rank in front of Terminal C belongs to the airport's official taxi firm. It is there for anyone without a booking.
  • The free Airport Bus surprises first-time visitors. It only links Terminal C with the long-term car parks P2, P4 and P5, so it is no use for getting into Katowice.

Arriving by train instead? Pyrzowice Lotnisko station sits about 500 metres from the terminals along a paved path.

General Travel Information

Currency

Poland uses the złoty. Prices on this page are in pounds, and a hoppa transfer is paid in full at booking, so nothing is owed to the driver on the day.

B

Bus and train

The ZTM airport bus, line AP, runs to Katowice Sądowa in the city centre. Pyrzowice Lotnisko railway station is about 500 metres from the terminals on a paved path. Check the current timetables before you travel.

!

Taxis

The airport's official carrier, Katowice Airport Taxi, waits in front of Terminal C. If you take a taxi without a booking, use that rank. It charges by the kilometre on a published tariff, with tolls on top.

What to do around Katowice?

A few ideas for the days either side of your flight.

  • Nikiszowiec, Katowice's red-brick miners' estate built for the Giesche company's workers, is a listed Monument of History and free to walk around all year.
  • Kraków's Main Market Square and its Cloth Hall sit at the heart of the Old Town, about 1 hr 20 min from the airport.
  • The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Oświęcim is about an hour from the airport by car. Entry cards are only available online from the museum's official website, so book before you travel.

Flying home from Katowice: when should your driver collect you?

A good share of searches for this route run the other way: a morning flight home from a Kraków hotel, a ski chalet in Białka Tatrzańska or a business stay in Katowice. You choose the pickup time, your driver is at the door for it, and up to 15 minutes of free waiting runs from that time. The fare is fixed at booking, however early the alarm goes off.

Work backwards from your airline's check-in close. Kraków is about 1 hr 20 min from the terminal and Zakopane about 2 hr 25 min in normal traffic, so build in a margin. Book it the same way as an arrival: your address as the pickup, Katowice Airport as the drop-off, one fare.

An airport 35 km from Katowice, a taxi fare that grows with every kilometre, and a city you came for that is still an hour and twenty minutes away. You can sort it out on arrival, or you can land knowing the fare, the meeting point and the driver who is waiting for you.
