Everything you need to know before you book

Pick a topic to see the most common questions travelers ask at this airport — fixed prices, vehicles, delays, deals, trust, and managing your booking.

What does it cost to my resort?

What's the price from the airport to my resort?

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 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 — 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?

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?

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 — 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?

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.

Shared shuttle vs private transfer — what's the difference?

Private transfers take you directly from your pickup point to your accommodation, with no shared passengers and no extra stops. Shared shuttles are budget-friendly and pick up multiple passengers on a planned route, so the journey may take longer but the per-person price is lower.

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. Approved refunds process within 14 days to your original payment method.

Are the drivers vetted and licensed?

We only work with established local transport partners who meet our service and safety standards, and who operate under their own local licensing and insurance requirements. Each supplier is contracted directly by hoppa.

Is my booking and payment secure?

Already booked? Login & manage

Where's my e-ticket and pickup time?

A confirmation email goes out immediately after booking, a reminder 7 days before, and final pickup details by SMS or WhatsApp 24 hours before. Everything is also visible in My Bookings when you log in.

Can I get a VAT invoice for expenses?

Yes — contact customer service within 30 days of your trip to issue an invoice.

I left something in the car

Contact customer service as soon as possible. We'll make reasonable efforts to recover and return your item, but we can't guarantee retrieval and don't accept liability for items left behind.

Smoking, damage and cleaning fees

Smoking or vaping in any vehicle triggers a minimum $250 cleaning fee and the driver may end the trip; the fare becomes non-refundable. Trash, spills or other damage in the vehicle can incur a cleaning fee of up to $200.

What are hoppa Credits?

Credit issued on refunds or as a goodwill gesture. They apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email, expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

How do I cancel my booking? Can I get a refund?

Cancel from your account or by contacting support. Refund depends on timing and vehicle size: up to 7 seats — free outside 24 hours, 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.

Can I change my booking details?

Yes, but only for: passenger names, contact numbers, number of passengers, and luggage count (within the booked vehicle's capacity). One free modification is allowed if your booking is eligible. For other changes — including route, vehicle category or pickup point — you'll need to cancel and rebook at the current price.

How long do refunds take to process?

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

Booking Chania airport transfers with hoppa

To book your airport transfer from Chania airport with us, just fill out your travel information in the boxes at the top of this page and click the ‘Search’ button. You’ll then be offered a choice of shuttle buses and private hire vehicles available for your trip.

Should I go for the shuttle bus or private transport?

There’s no wrong option here – both our shuttle buses and private hire vehicles offer a smooth and stress-free journey. There are, however, some key differences to consider between the two, which should help you decide which option suits you best.

Shuttle bus

  • The best option for those looking for cheap transfer from Chania airport.
  • Your group will be accompanied by other holidaymakers transferring from the airport, with set drop-off points established along the route.
  • Typically, you’ll set off around 45 minutes after arriving at Chania Intl., in order to allow all passengers to arrive for the upcoming journey.

Private transport

  • The best option for those looking for the quickest and most direct airport transfer from Chania airport.
  • Your party will be the only passengers aboard and will be driven directly to your accommodation, with no drop-off points along the way.
  • You’ll set off at a scheduled pick-up time as listed on your e-ticket.

How much will the transfers cost?

When you search for your Chania airport transfers, you’ll find prices listed against both shuttle and private options. The cost of your transfers will be the price that’s listed against your preferred transport method at the time of booking.

It’s worth noting that all of our rates are based on live valuations which can fluctuate due to things like resort pricing and local currency changes. So, if you do book with us then search again at a later date and find a different cost, don’t worry – your price is fixed at the total you were given at the time of booking.

I’ve chosen my transport – what’s next?

Once you’ve chosen your preferred transport method, you’ll reach the ‘Extras’ page, which feature’s our ‘Anything we can help with?’ box. If you have any special requirements, make sure to tell us about them here.

You may, for example, require wheelchair access and assistance on your transfer from Chania airport to Chania town. If you let us know beforehand, we can find the appropriate vehicle to meet your needs and keep the trip running smoothly.

Is there a luggage allowance?

Yes – it’s one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per person, for both shuttle and private transport. If you need more allowance than this or have luggage which requires extra care in transit, let us know in the ‘Anything we can help with?’ box so we can look to find suitable transport.

The e-ticket

On completion of your booking with us, we’ll send you an e-ticket. It’s hugely important you have access to this for all of your journeys with us as it acts as both confirmation of your booking and a handy information guide on your airport transfers from Chania.

It’s best that you print your e-ticket off before your flight to have alongside online access via your phone. This way you’ll have your ticket, in one form or another, to show to your driver upon arrival in Chania, plus you’ll have instructions to hand on how to find them.

Where should I go once I’ve landed?

On your e-ticket, you’ll find a section titled ‘Find my pickup’. In that section, you’ll find instructions on where and when to meet your driver, along with any additional information you might need. If you can’t find the information you need or can’t see any displayed, give us a call via the number on your ticket.

Details will vary based on whether you’re travelling via shuttle or privately, and also depending on which provider is running your transfer.

Finding the driver

We organise things so that it should be simple to meet your driver, however, if you can’t find your driver for whatever reason, call the emergency number on your ticket.

What happens if I’m running late?

Delays happen, and our drivers will wait for you for up to 45 minutes after the designated pick up time. If you know you’re going to be late, even if it’s within the 45-minute lieu period, you’ll need to let us know via the emergency number.

If you’re delayed longer than 45 minutes, we’ll need to arrange another driver to come and meet you. If you’re over three hours late, you’ll need to rearrange your transfers with us and contact your travel insurer.

What’s available at Chania Intl. airport?

Chania Intl. airport is situated on the peninsula of Akrotiri, 14km (around 20 minutes travel time) from Chania. Based on the northwest coast of Crete, the airport is around 30-45 minutes from Rethymnon, two hours to Heraklion city and three to Agios Nikolaos.

In the airport, you’ll find eateries and shops, including an authentic traditional Greek plate store, as well as free unlimited WiFi access within the terminal and ATMs in the airport.
