This fee is payable after your first visit to the dentist during which you get a panoramic x-ray, a detailed examination, the dentist along with you prepares the dental treatment plan, the timeline within which to do the treatment and you get a very accurate cost quote for all the treatment to be done (same as our price list on this website but personalized for your needed treatment).

If you are by any chance not satisfied, or have a change of mind, you don't pay the organizational fee.

The organization fee is payable in Czech crowns or the corresponding exchange rate amount on that day in whatever currency is easier for you.

1] Stansted to Brno
The best, most hassle-free, comfortable and
probably cheapest option is to fly into Brno airport
from Stansted airport (UK) with Ryanair.

Go to Ryanair's web site and try and find the airport
nearest to you from where you can either fly Ryanair
to Brno, or fly to Stansted from where you are and
then from there to Brno.

Many dental patients from Ireland and Scotland
have chosen to fly to Stansted from either Dublin
or Glasgow and then with Ryanair to Brno.

2] Fly to Vienna and get
picked up by our taxi driver.
This is cheaper than being picked up in Prague by
taxi as Vienna is 100 km nearer to Kromeriz / Zlin
than Prague.
The problem is that flights to Vienna are more
expensive than to Brno.
Getting from Vienna to Kromeriz / Zlin via public
transport is as problematic as from Prague
(see next paragraph) with the addition that here
you also have to deal with Austrian asshole
public transport personnel and if you don't
speak German you're F***** from the word go.

4] Fly to Prague and then use
public transport to get to Kromeriz or Zlin
This is not as good as it may sound and if you have the choice of doing 5 hours by train or bus to get to Stansted, or even pay more to fly to Stansted and then to Prague, these are all better options than arriving in Prague and then getting from there to here by bus or train.

This because public transport in the Czech Republic, although probably the best public transport in Europe as it is cheap, clean, safe and punctual has a small but noticeable hitch.
The problem is that most train / bus station ticket counter employees - or information kiosk personnel are complete assholes when it comes to dealing with people who don't speak Czech.

So you'd be much better off getting to Stansted however you can on english speaking soil, and then just arrive in Brno where you may get picked up by our taxi driver Mr Lehky who will then drive you to the front door of your accommodation in Kromeriz or Zlin.

Also, 99% of people arriving in Prague usually arrive in the evening and get to Kromeriz at 4 am.

3] Fly to Prague and get
picked up by our taxi driver.
It will never cease to amaze me (Pete), that dental
patients who come over here and save an absolute
fortune in teeth repairs, many save an average of
three thousand pounds sterling when they're done
as opposed to UK dental costs, and then they worry
about spending a few more euro in getting here in
style and without hassle.
Although not the cheapest option, getting picked
up at Prague airport by our taxi driver Mr. Lehky
is really a sensible option and a good and
comfortable way to start your dental holiday.

5] Get to Kromeriz from wherever you arrive in the CZ by public transport.
All right, so you're of the adventurous type, and don't see why you should spend more on a taxi when buses and trains in the Czech Republic are dirt cheap.
4 out of 5 people going for this option have regretted it.
But who are we to teach you what you want to learn first hand.
Here is a useful link to Czech Train and buses transport services.
Either click the bus or train icon, insert the departure town (Prague or Praha for example)
then insert the destination town -
For Kromeriz, insert Kromeriz if using busses or Hulin if using trains (5 km from Kromeriz)
For Zlin insert Zlin if using buses, or Otrokovice if using trains (10 km from Zlin center)

An intelligent option is to get to Brno by public transport - probably train (if arriving in Prague) and then get picked up by taxi. This cuts down your train changing times and bother by about two hours.

The last direct bus from Prague to Kromeriz leaves from Prague at around 19:00 pm.

1] Which Prague taxi service to use
The only taxi service to use in Prague is the
AAA taxi service.
These have a large triple A printed on their sides.

AAA Taxi phone numbers:
Presumably you will have a roaming activated
mobile phone so you will be making an
international call
00420 - 2 331 133 11
00420 - 602 331 133

AAA taxis do not have a stand right outside
Prague airport but are stationed about 300
yards from the airport building.
The way to get an AAA taxi to pick you up is
to phone them up, tell them you are at the
airport and need a taxi.
You will be put on hold so don't hang up,
and then sooner or later you'll get a message
saying ' in 3 minutes car number 123 will be
arriving' or similar.
Now start walking towards exit D of the
airport building.
Your arrivals exit gate is zone B and you
need to walk inside the airport building hall,
after you have come out of the inside arrivals
section and search for Exit D.
Once you exit at exit D cross the three lanes
in front of you and you arrive at the 10 minute
car park (right in front of the Exit D doors about
40 yards) where at the entry to this car park
the AAA taxi will arrive to pick you up.
[ scroll up to section 2 on the right ]

2] Prague taxi costs
The average price of an AAA taxi ride from Prague airport to the main Prague train station is Czech Crowns 460 / Euro 17

Other taxis who may offer you a ride will charge you anything from Euro 20 to your guess is as good as mine - depending on how gullible you look.

So if you do get offered a ride by a taxi driver as you exit the airport then tell him that you will give him 500 Czech Crowns and if he accept then you've got a decent taxi ride.

AAA taxis are one of the few Prague taxis that turn on their taximeter, and have fair prices

Here are the names of the various places that you might have to get to:

Prague airport : Letiste Ruzyne( Airport Ruzyne )
Ruzyne is like Heathrow = name of area but also of the airport

Main Prague train station:
Hlavni Nadrazi Wilsonowa (main station Wilsonowa) Wilsonowa is both a street name and the name of the station.

One of the Prague bus stations:
Nadrazi Florenc (station Florenc)

Brno, Prague and Vienna
airports to Kromeriz or Zlin

Brno Airport to Kromeriz
Czech Crowns: 1550 / Euro 46

Brno Airport to Zlin
Czech Crowns: 2150 / Euro 70

Prague Airport to Kromeriz
Czech Crowns: 4900 / Euro 165

Prague Airport to Zlin
Czech Crowns: 5600 / Euro 190

Vienna Airport to Kromeriz
Czech Crowns: 4300 / Euro 145

Vienna Airport to Zlin
Czech Crowns: 5000 / Euro 169

These prices include a reasonable waiting
time by the taxi driver as in flight delays or similar.
Any waiting time over 1 hour will be charged extra
at Czech Crowns 150 / Euro 5 for each hour.

General moving around in
a taxi costs when you are here

Kromeriz to Zlin or vice versa
Czech Crowns: 800 / Euro 27

Kromeriz to Zlin Brezuvky Night Club
Czech Crowns: 1100 / Euro 38

Kromeriz to Prerov Night Club
Czech Crowns: 800 / Euro 17

In and around Kromeriz
Czech Crowns: 50 / Euro 2

In the Kromeriz / Zlin area, the taxi driver can take you to clubs, restaurants and sightseeing and for any time he has to hang around waiting the cost is Czech Crowns 130 per hour / Euro 5

It is much much cheaper to get picked up at one of the mentioned airports by our taxi driver who has to get there than booking one of the Brno, Prague (god forbid) or Vienna taxi drivers who will take you to the cleaners.

Getting to Kromeriz or Zlin from your arrival airport
and for your first evening over here all you need is
the Euro amount (or pounds other currency
equivalent) to pay the taxi driver.
Then probably about 10 Euro worth of
Czech crowns for your first evening with
which you can pay for beer, Slivovitz and food.

Any other Czech Crowns you may need - to pay
your accommodation, the dentist, shopping,
entertainment etc - we suggest you change
at the local exchange kiosk where Pete makes
sure you get a better rate than they offer publicly.
This because changing locally will get you a
MUCH better rate that changing in the UK
or your own country, better than changing
at the airport or even in Brno.

For example, in November 2005 someone changed 2000 pounds sterling in the UK for Czech crowns at a rate of 40 crowns to 1 Pound Sterling and he got
80.000 Czech Crowns.
If he had changed in Kromeriz at the rate of that time which was 42 Czech crowns to the pound he would have gotten 84.000 Czech crowns which is a difference of 4000 Czech crowns : equivalent to Euro 137.
For 137 Euro you can do / buy a lot in Kromeriz or Zlin so don't throw your money away through crummy exchange rates.
Doing it this way though means bringing cash with you but if you're not naive and hide it in your socks whilst traveling - then you will be ok.

Other options that people have used to change money:
Travelers Cheques
Holes in the wall (bancomats)
