None of the contractual transport companies have charges for waiting.

Taxis
Taxis, while a convenient way to get around Prague, are also the most expensive in all cases. If you simply must use a taxi, negotiate a price before entering the taxi and accepting a ride.
Look for the radio taxis, operated by major companies, and avoid independent drivers. While you won't find these taxis waiting outside the airport upon your arrival to Prague (only "official" taxis are permitted there, and these drivers are known to overcharge), you can look for one or flag one down just outside the airport.
There are lots of dependable and well regulated radio-taxi companies in Prague with English speaking operators and courteous service. These taxi companies often provide better quality, cheaper prices and accept payment in Euros. Your hotel will be happy to provide you with a number or arrange a taxi ride for you.
Local taxi rates at maximum (by the law): drop charge is 40 CZK plus 28 CZK per kilometer, and 6 CZK per one minute of waiting time.
