Kos Airport Transfers, Taxis, Shuttles & Cheap Holiday Transfers

Arrive happy with Kos airport transfers & rides

As with anywhere in Greece, Kos, the third-largest Dodecanese island, is soaked in more history than you’ll have time to discover in just one holiday. There are Corinthian columns at every turn, the fortress in Kos Town is definitely worth a visit, and Hippocrates’ ancient sanatorium too. If a wander through this paradise is more your thing there are also plenty of eons-old pillars lying casually by the road playing host to flora and fauna.

Kos is more than ancient history. It also has a vibrant present and offers a cornucopia of treasures from lush, fresh valleys and sparkling blue coves to rustic mountain tavernas and cosmopolitan cafes. Head to Kos Town for a mixture of history and modernity or Kardemena for a luxury modern resort filled with activities and excitement for all. For a resort filled with ancient history Kefalos is the best place to go. The capital of Kos in ancient times, Kefalos is a delightful village clinging to a hillside on the west side of the island.

One of the gems of Greece’s Dodecanese island region, Kos is a land of postcard-ready beaches steeped in millennia of ancient history. Supposedly the birthplace of the great Hippocrates, Kos’s golden sands and sparkling blue waters now play host to over a million visitors a year.

If you’re one of the many who are set to enjoy the popular Greek island this year, why not complete your journey by organising your transfers from Kos airport with hoppa? We’re quick, hassle-free and reliable, meaning you can have complete peace of mind heading into your holiday.

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.

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 airport transfers from Kos, Greece with hoppa

To book with us, just fill in your basic travel information above and hit the ‘Search’ button. We’ll present you with a variety of transfer options from our providers, with both shuttle buses and private hire vehicles available.

Shuttle bus or private transport?

Both our shuttle buses and private vehicles are guaranteed to get you to your accommodation and back smoothly, but there are a few differences between the services which might help you figure out which makes more sense for you.

Shuttle bus

  • The best value option for Kos transfers from the airport.
  • Your group will share the journey with other passengers and will be dropped off at a set point along a pre-determined route.
  • You can expect to have set off from the airport usually after around 45 minutes. This window allows for other holidaymakers using the service to arrive in time.

Private transport

  • The quickest and most direct transfer option.
  • Only your group will be in the vehicle and will be driven directly to your accommodation with no other drop-offs.
  • You’ll set off at a pick-up time listed on your e-ticket, meaning you’ll be able to depart more quickly than on a shuttle bus.

How much do transfers from Kos airport cost?

When you search for your chosen transfers from Kos airport, you’ll see prices attached to each service available. The price that’s listed against your chosen transfer when you book will be the price you pay, regardless of any possible fluctuations in the figures in the future.

All our prices are live costings, so do move around a bit based on currency rates and local resort pricing, so don’t be alarmed if you search again and see a different price to the one when you booked – the price you secured with us won’t change.

Next Steps

OK, so you’ve chosen your transport to and from the airport – what’s next? You’ll be directed to our ‘Extras’ page, which has an ‘Anything we can help with?’ section to fill in. This is very important if you’re travelling with any special requirements – say, you require wheelchair access, extra space or are carrying additional luggage.

If you have any additional requirements that need catering for, this is the time to let us know. Once we know what you need, we can go about finding the right sort of vehicle to suit your journey.

Luggage allowances

Luggage allowance is set at one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per person, to align with the typical allowance you’ll get on your flight. If you think you’re going to exceed this limit, let us know in the ‘Anything we can help with?’ box and we’ll see what we can do to help out.

Likewise, if you have any luggage that needs special care and attention in transit, inform us and we’ll make sure to look after it.

Your e-ticket

Upon completing your booking of your airport transfers from Kos, we’ll send you through an e-ticket to the e-mail address you provided us. Treat your e-ticket as your trusted guide for the trip – you’ll need it as proof of purchase ahead of your journey and it also will provide you with the key information you need to ensure your trip runs smoothly.

We’d recommend printing a copy off beforehand, then you have both a print and online copy to hand during your transfer.

Finding the driver

Your e-ticket has a section underneath the journey information titled ‘Find my pick up’. Simply follow the instructions listed in this section once you’ve landed to find your driver – instructions may differ slightly depending on the provider you’re using, and whether you’ve chosen to travel privately or via shuttle.

If you can’t find this information for whatever reason, give us a call via the number given on your e-ticket.

I’m struggling to find my driver

If you can’t find your driver, there is an emergency number listed on your e-ticket. Just give that a call if you need any help.

My flight’s been delayed

Don’t worry if your flight is running a little late, all you need to do is let us know. Our driver will wait for you up until 45 minutes after your flight’s scheduled arrival time in Kos, but give us a call on the emergency number to inform us even if you know you’ll be within the 45 minute window.

Beyond 45 minutes, again let us know as we’ll need to organise a different driver to pick you up. Beyond three hours, and you’ll need to rearrange your transfers with us and contact your travel insurance provider.

What will I find at Kos Island Intl. airport?

Based centrally on the Island, Kos Island Intl. airport is only around a 30-minute drive (23.5km) from the coastal town of Kos. At the airport, you’ll find a range of Hellenic duty-free shops offering a selection of premium brands and five cafes ranging from authentic Greek cuisine to a burger bar.
