Innsbruck to Seefeld: the basics

How far is Seefeld from Innsbruck Airport?

Seefeld is 22 km from Innsbruck Airport, about 25 to 30 minutes by road up onto the Seefeld plateau.

How much is a transfer from Innsbruck to Seefeld?

A private car starts from £63 one way for up to 3 passengers, with a minibus from £80. Prices are indicative and fixed at booking.

Does Seefeld have a train station?

Yes. Seefeld in Tirol station sits in the village centre with direct trains to Innsbruck in about 35 minutes and on to Munich.

Is Seefeld good for beginners?

Yes. Seefeld is known for gentle, family-friendly pistes and is one of Europe's leading cross-country skiing centres.

Can I take skis and cross-country gear?

Yes. Declare each ski, board or boot bag at booking and hoppa allocates a vehicle with the room to carry it.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Your driver tracks the flight. You get 60 minutes of free waiting after your scheduled landing, plus a 30 minute international buffer.

Which vehicle fits my group?

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

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 — 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.

Can I add a child seat for my baby or toddler?

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?

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 is delayed?

Will my driver wait if my flight is late?

Yes. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes free after your scheduled arrival for airport pickups. For international flights, there's also a 30-minute buffer added on top — so your driver's free waiting period starts after that buffer ends.

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

Contact customer service to reschedule. If we can't pick you up at the new time, 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 to a different airport?

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?

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 not possible at the gate, we'll assign an alternative meeting point.

What if I'm stuck inside the 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

Where can I find a discount code?

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

Should I book 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 and get a refund?

Yes, depending on timing and vehicle size. Up to 7 seats: free cancellation more than 24 hours before pickup; 100% charge within 24 hours. 8–14 seats: free outside 48 hours. 16+ seats: free outside 14 days, 50% within 14–7 days, 100% within 7 days.

How long do refunds take to process?

Approved refunds are processed within 14 days to your original payment method.

Common problems on the Innsbruck to Seefeld run, and how hoppa handles them

Mountain transfers go wrong in a small number of predictable ways. Here is what hoppa does about each one.

Challenge	Solution	How do we solve it?
Your flight lands late	Book a transfer with flight tracking and 24/7 support.	hoppa watches your inbound flight and moves the Innsbruck Airport pickup to match. Airport arrivals carry 60 minutes of free waiting, plus 30 minutes more on international flights.
Snow slows the climb onto the plateau	Use a local operator who drives the route every winter.	Vetted local fleets run winter-equipped vehicles on the B177. Austria requires winter tyres or chains in wintry conditions from 1 November to 15 April, and these operators carry them as standard.
You are weighing up the train instead	Book the legs the train does not cover.	Rail reaches Seefeld, but not from the airport. You would take a bus into Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof, wait for the connection, then walk from Seefeld station to your hotel. A transfer is one leg from the arrivals hall to your door.
Ski, board and Nordic bags will not fit	Declare your gear when you book.	Bag allowance is part of the quote, so the vehicle dispatched has the space. The standard is one bag per person, 24 inches; anything longer counts as two pieces.
Your plans change before you travel	Cancel inside the free window.	Cars seating up to seven cancel free up to 24 hours ahead. Eight to fourteen seats need 48 hours, and sixteen or more need 14 days.
You are travelling with children	Add a child seat at booking.	The first child seat is free and must be requested when you book, not asked for at the kerb.
You land in the middle of the night	Pre-book rather than hope for a taxi rank.	A named driver is waiting whatever the hour — which matters here, because regional trains onto the plateau thin out through the evening. A night surcharge applies between 22:00 and 08:00 and is shown in your fixed price, never added afterwards.

Why book a transfer when Seefeld has its own train station?

It is a fair question, and Seefeld is the only resort in the Tyrol where it genuinely needs answering. The village station is central, and the direct train from Innsbruck takes about 35 minutes.

The case for a transfer is not speed, it is what you are carrying and where the journey actually ends:

The train does not start at the airport. You still need to get from Innsbruck Airport into Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof first, then wait for the connection. A transfer is one leg from the arrivals hall.
Ski and cross-country kit does not travel well by rail. Boot bags, board bags and poles have to be lifted on and off twice, then walked from Seefeld station to your hotel.
The station is not your front door. Seefeld spreads across the plateau, and plenty of hotels are a genuine walk from the platform in snow.
Late arrivals thin out fast. Regional services drop off in the evening. A pre-booked driver is waiting whenever you actually land.

If you are travelling light and arriving midday, the train is a perfectly good option and worth taking. If you are a family with skis, or you land after dark, the 25 to 30 minute door-to-door run is the easier answer. hoppa works with 70,000+ vetted local fleet providers, and the operators here drive the plateau road all winter.

Why book a transfer when Seefeld has its own train station

	With a standard ride app	When you book with hoppa
The driver	You get whoever is nearest, if anyone accepts a mountain run at all.	A vetted local operator who drives the Innsbruck road to Seefeld all winter, confirmed before you fly.
The price	A surge multiplier you only see once you are stood at arrivals.	A fixed all-in price agreed at booking. Tolls, taxes and the driver's fee are already in it.
Ski and board bags	No guarantee the car that turns up can take them.	Gear space is part of the booking, so the vehicle that arrives fits your kit.
A delayed flight	Your ride is cancelled and you rejoin the queue.	Your flight is tracked and the pickup moves with it, free of charge.
The last mile	You are dropped where the app decides, then walk the rest with your bags.	Door-to-door to your address in Seefeld, Leutasch, Mösern, Reith or Scharnitz.
Snow on the road	An unfamiliar driver may simply refuse the climb.	Winter-equipped vehicles and drivers who know the Zirler Berg in poor weather.
If it goes wrong	An in-app form and a long wait.	A person on the phone, answered in 11 seconds on average, 24/7.

How long is the transfer from Innsbruck to Seefeld?

The transfer from Innsbruck Airport to Seefeld takes about 25 to 30 minutes, covering 22 km up the B177 and onto the Seefeld plateau. It is a steady climb rather than a difficult mountain pass.

Seefeld is also reachable from Munich and Salzburg, though both are long enough that the flight saving rarely justifies the extra road time.

These are the drive times hoppa quotes for each serving airport:

How long is the transfer from Innsbruck to Seefeld

Route	Drive time	Approx. cost per vehicle	Vehicle type
Innsbruck (INN) to Seefeld	25 to 30 min · 22 km	£63–£80private car to 8-seat minibus	Private car — closest gateway and by far the shortest run
Munich (MUC) to Seefeld	~2 hr · 155 km	£336–£441private car to 8-seat minibus	Private car — the widest choice of UK flights
Salzburg (SZG) to Seefeld	~2 hr 30 · 200 km	£485–£534private car to 8-seat minibus	Private car — useful for combined Tyrol and Salzburgerland trips

Please note: Drive times assume clear roads. Allow longer after fresh snow on the climb up the Zirler Berg, though the plateau road clears quickly and is rarely closed. Prices are indicative.

How much is an Innsbruck to Seefeld transfer?

A private car from Innsbruck Airport to Seefeld starts from £63 one way. This is the shortest transfer in hoppa's Tyrol ski range, and the pricing reflects it.

Each figure below is the indicative starting price for the whole vehicle, for up to the stated number of passengers, not a per-person fare. Your price is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls and the driver's waiting time.

Two more vehicle types sit outside the table because the price depends on your dates and your group size. Ask for either of them when you book:

Wheelchair accessible minibus: 1 to 6 seats. Travellers and families with mobility needs — note the requirement in your booking comments so the right vehicle is allocated.
Private coach: 1 to 60 seats, 1 bag per person. Ski clubs, school trips and corporate parties arriving together.

Child seats are included. The first one is free, and it must be requested at the time of booking so the local operator brings it.

Standard luggage allowance is one bag per person at 24 inches. Anything over 24 inches counts as two pieces, which is worth remembering when you are carrying skis and Nordic poles.

Vehicle type	Max passengers	Luggage capacity	Why choose this option?	Estimated price (one-way)
Private car	Up to 3	Up to 3 ski or board bags	Direct door-to-door on the B177 — the best-value option for couples and small groups heading to a Seefeld hotel or apartment.	From £63
Executive car	Up to 3	Up to 3 ski or board bags	Higher-spec saloon with an English-speaking driver, for business travellers and conference guests.	From £70
Standard MPV	Up to 5	Up to 5 ski or board bags	Families who need boot space as well as seats — the class that swallows a week of skis, boards and boot bags.	From £71
Private minibus	Up to 8	Up to 8 ski or board bags	Hotel groups and chalet parties arriving on one flight, kept on a single fixed all-in price.	From £80
Executive MPV	Up to 4	Up to 4 ski or board bags	Extra comfort and space on a short run, for travellers who want the higher spec without dropping to a saloon.	From £137

Book your Innsbruck to Seefeld transfer

A few things worth knowing before you book:

Most of what travellers ring up about is decided at booking, not at the kerb. Three things are worth getting right before you pay.

Child seats. The first one is free, but it has to be requested when you book. Ask at the kerb and there may not be one in the car.
Ski and board bags. The standard allowance is one bag per person up to 24 inches. Anything longer counts as two pieces, so declare gear at booking and the vehicle sent will fit it.
Cancellation. Vehicles seating up to seven cancel free up to 24 hours before pickup. Eight to fourteen seats need 48 hours. Sixteen or more need 14 days.

Book within 24 hours of travel and an expedited booking fee applies. It is shown before you pay, never added afterwards.

How else can you get from Innsbruck Airport to Seefeld?

Seefeld is the one Tyrolean ski resort where the alternatives are genuinely competitive, so here they are honestly.

Train, via Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof. Bus line F runs from the terminal to the station in about 20 minutes, then ÖBB climbs to Seefeld in about 35 minutes, roughly hourly. Seefeld station is in the middle of the village. If you are travelling light and landing in daylight, take it — it is a good journey.
Hire car. Twenty-five minutes on the B177, then a parked car for six days. Seefeld village is walkable, so the car mostly costs you money and a winter tyre check you did not want to make.
Taxi from the rank. It exists and it is licensed. The fare is not agreed before you get in, nothing guarantees space for four sets of skis, and no child seat is waiting.
Pre-booked transfer. One leg, arrivals hall to hotel door, fixed price, flight tracked, gear declared in advance.

The table below sets the four side by side, with what each one actually includes and what to watch for.

Transport option	Indicative price to Seefeld	Journey time	What's included / what to watch for
hoppa private car (INN to Seefeld)	From £63 per vehicle	25 to 30 min	Fixed all-in price. Named driver waits inside Innsbruck arrivals with a name board, then door-to-door to your address in Seefeld or one of the plateau villages. Winter tyres or chains fitted as standard for Austria's 1 November to 15 April requirement, and the fare does not move for snow or a late landing.
Bus line F plus ÖBB train via Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof	Ticketed per person	~1 hr 15 with the connection	A genuinely good option if you are travelling light. Line F runs from the terminal to Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof in about 20 minutes, then ÖBB climbs to Seefeld in about 35 minutes, roughly hourly. Seefeld station is central. The catch is the kit: bags on and off twice, a wait between the two legs, thinner services after dark, and a walk to your hotel at the far end. Four rail tickets also add up against one fixed vehicle fare.
Hire car on the B177	Day rate + fuel, parking & fees	25 to 30 min	Austria requires winter tyres or chains in wintry conditions from 1 November to 15 April, and a hire car is not always supplied ready for it. Then there is the other half of the sum: Seefeld village is compact and walkable, so the car usually sits parked and paid for all week.
Taxi from the airport rank	Metered, no fixed price	25 to 30 min	Innsbruck has a licensed rank, so this works — but the fare is not agreed before you get in, nothing guarantees the car on the front of the rank can take four sets of skis, and no child seat is waiting unless someone thought to order one.
Leaving it until you land	No fixed price	Varies	Avoid on a Saturday. Changeover day is the busiest of the Innsbruck winter, the rank empties fastest exactly when several ski charters land together, and the next train onto the plateau may be an hour away. Book ahead instead.

What should you know about Seefeld in winter?

Seefeld sits at 1,180 m on a sunny plateau above the Inn valley, which gives it a gentler feel than the high Ötztal resorts and makes it a genuine cross-country destination as well as a downhill one.

Three practical things worth knowing:

Winter equipment is a legal requirement in Austria. Between 1 November and 15 April, vehicles must run winter tyres or carry snow chains in wintry conditions. hoppa's local operators are equipped as standard, which is a real difference against a hire car.
The plateau road is short but exposed. It clears quickly and is rarely closed, though fresh snow can slow the climb from the valley. Your fixed price does not move because of it.
Cross-country is the headline here. Seefeld has hosted Nordic world championship and Olympic events, and the trail network is the reason many travellers choose it over a steeper resort.

The village centre is compact and walkable, so once you are dropped at your hotel you generally do not need a car for the rest of the week.

What should you know about Seefeld in winter

Your Seefeld arrival guide, from Innsbruck Airport to the first lift

Twenty-two kilometres is not far, but it is still the part of the trip people get wrong. This guide covers what happens between the baggage belt at Innsbruck and your first morning on the Rosshütte funicular.

Work through the tabs in order. Landing and finding your driver, the road up the Zirler Berg and where on the plateau you are staying, your first ski day across the four areas and the cross-country network, then the practical detail — money, health cover, emergency numbers and getting about once you are there.

Everything here is specific to Seefeld and to the winter. If something is still unclear on the day, the 24-hour hoppa number is on your e-ticket and is answered in an average of 11 seconds.

Ski-goers' arrival guide to Seefeld

Everything you need from wheels down at Innsbruck to first chair on the Rosshütte funicular.

Landing at Innsbruck Getting to Seefeld Your first ski day Practical essentials

Landing at Innsbruck Airport (INN)

Innsbruck is a small airport with a big winter. It handles every flight through a single passenger terminal, so there is no terminal to check and no shuttle to catch — you clear baggage and walk straight into one arrivals hall.

Meeting your hoppa driver

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, holding a name board with your surname. Your e-ticket names the meeting point, and 24 hours before pickup hoppa sends a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact spot and your driver's contact details. If you cannot see them, stay where you are and call the number on the e-ticket — hoppa answers in an average of 11 seconds, and it is a person, not a chatbot.

Tip: Saturday is changeover day and by far the busiest of the Innsbruck winter, with several ski charters landing inside the same hour. A pre-booked driver is the difference between walking out of the hall and joining a queue for it.

Baggage & ski gear

Skis, boards and Nordic bags are checked in as special baggage and come off a designated oversized belt rather than the standard carousel. Follow the signed oversized baggage area and allow extra time for it. Tell hoppa how many ski, board and boot bags you are carrying when you book, so the vehicle sent has the space.

Currency & cards

Austria uses the euro, and cards are accepted almost everywhere in Seefeld — hotels, restaurants, ski hire and lift ticket offices. Carry a little cash anyway. Mountain huts and the smaller village businesses can still be cash-only, and a card machine at 2,000 m is only as good as its signal.

If you are flying into Munich or Salzburg instead

Both work, and hoppa quotes both. Munich is about 155 km and two hours; Salzburg about 200 km and two and a half. Both are large multi-terminal airports, so check your boarding pass for the terminal and let your e-ticket tell you where the driver waits.

Innsbruck to Seefeld — the 22 km, 25 to 30 minute run

This is a short transfer, and that is the whole point of it. Seefeld sits on a plateau at 1,180 m, directly above the Inn valley, and the road up is a steady climb rather than a mountain pass.

The route step-by-step

Leave the airport west along the Inn valley towards Zirl
Turn north onto the B177, the Seefelder Strasse
Climb the Zirler Berg — the steep, well-maintained ascent out of the valley
Level out onto the plateau and run through Reith bei Seefeld
Arrive in Seefeld in Tirol, dropped at your hotel door

Included in your fare: there is no pass toll on this route, and your fixed price already covers the driver's waiting time. Nothing is added at the kerb.

Winter driving law: winter equipment is compulsory

Legal requirement: From 1 November to 15 April, cars driven in wintry conditions in Austria must be fitted with winter tyres, or run snow chains where the road is covered in snow or ice. hoppa's local operators are equipped as standard and drive the Zirler Berg every week of the season. A hire car is not always supplied ready for it — check before you drive away, because the climb onto the plateau is exactly where it matters.

Where on the plateau are you staying?

Most visitors stay in Seefeld itself, but the region runs across the plateau and the transfer is the same road with a short final leg:

Seefeld in Tirol — the main village at 1,180 m, compact, walkable, with the station in the centre
Reith bei Seefeld — the first village you reach coming up from Zirl
Mösern — small and quiet, on the lip of the plateau above the valley
Leutasch — a long valley of hamlets, the heart of the cross-country network
Scharnitz — at the German border, the northern end of the plateau

Weather-related delays

Fresh snow can slow the climb out of the valley, and hoppa's operators simply leave earlier rather than turn back. The plateau road is short, exposed and cleared quickly, so it is rarely closed. Your fixed price does not move because of the weather.

Your first day on the mountain

Seefeld is two sports in one place. The downhill is gentle and family-friendly, and the cross-country is world-class — the region hosted the Nordic events at the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics and the 2019 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.

The ski areas

Rosshütte — the main area, reached by funicular from the valley station, with the Härmelekopfbahn and Seefelder Joch cable cars above it and a top station at 2,064 m. Twelve lifts in all.
Gschwandtkopf — 1,200 m to 1,500 m and entirely blue, which makes it the beginners' and families' hill
Geigenbühel — small nursery slopes on the edge of Seefeld village
Katzenkopf — over in Leutasch, quiet and local

Cross-country is the headline here

The region grooms over 245 km of trails across the plateau, prepared for both classic and skating. The Arena365 Nordic Centre is the hub, and the A1 Seekirchl loop carried the 2019 World Championship races.

Worth knowing: the cross-country network is ticketed separately from the downhill lift pass. Buy a trail ticket rather than assuming your lift pass covers the loipe.

Lift passes

Buy online at seefeld.com before you travel and collect on arrival
An adult day pass at Rosshütte is around €60. Prices are indicative — check the resort site for your dates
Beginners can buy for Gschwandtkopf alone, which is cheaper than a full regional pass and plenty for a first week

Ski hire & schools

Rental shops sit in Seefeld village and at the Rosshütte valley station. Pre-booking online is usually cheaper than walking in, and boots go first in peak weeks.
Ski & Snowboard School Sport Aktiv has an office at the Rosshütte, with group and private lessons
Ask specifically about cross-country lessons and hire. Nordic skis, boots and poles are different kit, and this is the place to learn on them

Before you ski: mountain rescue in Austria is chargeable, and a helicopter callout runs to thousands of euros. Your UK GHIC covers state medical treatment, not the rescue that gets you to it. Take travel insurance with winter-sports cover, and check it includes the loipe as well as the piste.

Practical essentials for your stay

Money & cards

Austria uses the euro, and cash machines are easy to find in Seefeld village centre
Cards work in hotels, restaurants, ski hire and ticket offices
Carry some cash for mountain huts and smaller village businesses

Your UK GHIC or EHIC is valid in Austria, and it gets you state-provided medical treatment on the same terms as an Austrian resident. What it does not do is pay for mountain rescue, a private clinic or repatriation — and on a ski trip those are the expensive parts. Take comprehensive travel insurance with winter-sports cover on top of the card, not instead of it.

What to expect on the road to Seefeld

Each gateway gives you a different drive into Seefeld. This is what the journey actually looks like from each one.

Snow-laden pines and mountains on the Seefeld plateau in Tyrol

Innsbruck Airport (INN) to Seefeld — the closest gateway (25 to 30 min)

Just 22 km: west along the Inn valley to Zirl, then the climb of the B177 up the Zirler Berg and onto the plateau through Reith. Private car from £63 direct to your door in Seefeld. Best for almost everyone — this is the shortest ski transfer hoppa runs in the Tyrol, and the one where a fixed fare beats a chain of connections by the widest margin.

Snow-covered forest and peaks above Seefeld

Munich Airport (MUC) to Seefeld — the widest UK flight choice (~2 hr)

About 155 km south, roughly two hours on the road. Munich carries far more UK flights than Innsbruck and runs them all winter, not just on Saturdays. Best for travellers who cannot get an Innsbruck slot, or who find a fare that more than covers the extra road time. Price on request — enter your dates for a fixed quote.

Deep snow through the forest on the Seefeld plateau

Salzburg Airport (SZG) to Seefeld — the eastern approach (~2 hr 30)

About 200 km west, around two and a half hours. Best for skiers combining Tyrol with Salzburgerland, or arriving on a Salzburg flight they already hold. On distance alone it is the longest of the three, so the flight has to be worth it — reckon on £485 for a private car up to £534 for an 8-seat minibus.

Seefeld has its own station — so where does a transfer fit?

Seefeld in Tirol station sits in the village centre, with direct ÖBB trains to Innsbruck in about 35 minutes and onward services to Mittenwald and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Travelling light and landing in daylight? Take it. The transfer earns its place when you are carrying skis, arriving after dark, or staying out at Leutasch, Mösern, Reith or Scharnitz rather than a short walk from the platform.

Can I cancel or change my hoppa transfer?

Yes. Plans change, and hoppa prices that in rather than punishing it.

Cancellation windows depend on the size of the vehicle you booked:

7-seater and below: cancel up to 24 hours before travel for a full refund.
8 to 14 seater: cancel up to 48 hours before travel for a full refund.
16 seater and above: cancel up to 14 days before travel for a full refund.

Changes work the same way. Amend your pickup time, flight number or drop-off address through your booking confirmation or by contacting the hoppa team. Booking inside 24 hours of travel is still possible, though an expedited booking fee applies.
