How much on average in GBP or PLN Taxi from Katowice to Krakow

tonyarosey:

Hi there. We are arriving at 01.45am on Thurs 4th Sept to Katowice airport. We are flying from Doncaster with Whizz air. The transfer bus to Krakow is at 04.15am!! Then it takes 2 hours to Krakow.

Is anyone else going at that time and would like to share a taxi with us 2? We are staying at the Janexim guestrooms in the centre of Krakow

going back to the airport is easier-17.00 pick up from the bus station to the airport for £22 for the both of us (thats Sun 7th Sept)

please contact me if you know where we can get a cheap taxi from (see quote above) and/or you are travelling at the same time as us and would like to share

Thanks
Tonya

Approximate prices of taxi trips Prices vary depending on the city and the transport company. Differences however, are not big. Weekend and night fares (10.00pm - 6.00am) and out-of-town zones have a higher scale of charges. The price of the first kilometre is usually between PLN 4 - 6, with the following kilometres cheaper, about PLN 2. In the large cities taxis leaving from the vicinity of stations can be more expensive. http://www.poland.travel/en-us/Artykuly/jak_podrozowac-en-us/komunikac ja_w_miescie/taxi_i_przewozy_osobowe/pot_category_view

A taxi is about 300-400PLN, the airport bus is 44PLN.

Sounds like you are flying with Wizz Air. If so then definitely book a shuttle transfer via their website. It's the best hassle free option. Wizz air ensure there is always a bus available whenever their flights land.

About 60 quid at the kantor maybe but, in real terms, it's more like 100 quid, if not more

telefoniktka I use Wizz air a lot because of the convenience of flying from Liverpool Airport. If you're from the north west then you might want to know that Easy Jet also fly direct to Krakow.

tonyarosey: Where did you get that price from for transfers? Is that a taxi? no its not a taxi its wizzairs transfers you choose airport transfer option when you book tickets ... taken from the wizzair section on the booking of flights Save time and money! You can now book a bus transfer in a comfortable private mini bus or coach between the airport and Katowice or Cracow. The cost is 6 GBP / 7,5 EUR one way between the airport and the city centre (12 GBP / 15 EUR return) and 12 GBP / 15 EUR one way between the airport and Cracow (24 GBP / 30 EUR return). The bus is easily recognisable as it has the Wizz Air logo. £24 in total return .... 101.617zloty but you can also book here http://grey.turystyka.com.pl/~wizzair/index.php?lang=en if you havent booked when purchasing your flight tickets the price i quoted was from like March time .... so obviously rates have altered since then....!
