Will my driver be waiting if my Kos flight lands late?

Kos Island International Airport (KGS) runs almost entirely on summer charters, and charter flights slip. A delayed arrival is the number-one worry, so hoppa tracks your flight from the moment you board — your driver already knows when you will actually land.

Your booking includes 60 minutes of free waiting after you touch down, plus a 30-minute buffer on international arrivals. When the single baggage hall backs up on a busy changeover day, that buffer is exactly what keeps your driver in place.

There is nothing for you to do. A delayed flight simply moves your pickup, at the same fixed price you locked in before you flew.

Kos, Greece — hoppa airport transfer

Everything you need to know before you book in Kos

Pick a topic to see the most common questions travellers ask about transfers from Kos Airport — fixed prices, vehicles, delays, deals, trust, and managing your booking.

What does it cost to my destination?

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.

Why hoppa? Trust & comparison

Who is hoppa exactly?

Fixed price quoted upfront (no meter, no surprise tolls), driver waits up to 60 minutes free if your flight's late, meet & greet on request, child seats and accessibility bookable in advance, 24/7 multilingual support, and a clear cancellation policy if plans change.

Aren't I just paying a middleman fee?

Your payment covers both our booking service and the supplier's fare — we pay the supplier on your behalf. That's what gives you a fixed all-in price, dispute resolution, and a single point of contact if anything goes wrong on the trip.

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?

Yes. Payments are processed through industry-standard encryption and secure payment gateways. Your booking details and personal information are protected throughout the transaction.

Can I read verified reviews?

Yes — thousands of travellers share their journey feedback on our website and on Trustpilot, so you can see real experiences from past passengers before you book.

What if something goes wrong on the day?

24/7 phone support is available in English, Spanish and Chinese; chat support runs in all languages. Emergency contact numbers are on your e-ticket so you can reach support or the local supplier directly.

How do I complain after the trip?

For pre-booked transfers and shared shuttles, raise complaints within 30 days of the trip. For ride-hailing, within 3 days. Email customer service with your booking reference.

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.

How far is Kos Town from the airport, and how long is the transfer?

Kos Airport sits near Antimachia, right in the middle of the island about 24km southwest of Kos Town so your drive time swings with which resort you booked more than with the distance. Here is how the most-booked routes break down:

  • Kardamena and Mastichari, closest to the airport, are just 8–10 minutes away.
  • Kefalos, at the island's southwest tip, is about 20 minutes.
  • Kos Town, Lambi and Psalidi on the far side run 25–35 minutes through Zipari.

The table below shows indicative private-transfer prices and drive times for the main Kos resorts.

Destination Distance Transfer time Recommended vehicle Range prices
Kos airport to Kardamena 10 km 8 - 10 mins Private car Private from £16
Kos airport to Mastichari (Kalymnos ferry) 10 km 8 - 10 mins Private car Private from £17
Kos airport to Kefalos 25 km 20 mins Private car Private from £24
Kos airport to Tigaki 20 km 20 - 25 mins Private car Private from £24
Kos airport to Marmari 22 km 25 - 30 mins Private car Private from £26
Kos airport to Kos Town 24 km 25 - 30 mins Private car Private from £26

Which Kos airport transfer is right for you?

Vehicle choice matters on Kos because the journeys split by group size and budget, not by terrain. A private car that suits a couple heading to Kardamena is the wrong call for a family of five with beach kit, or a tour group of twelve. Use this quick guide:

  • Solo travellers and couples lean to a private car, or the shared shuttle on a budget.
  • Families size up to a private minibus with room for the buggy and the cases.
  • Groups keep everyone together in a minibus or coach.

Every Kos transfer with hoppa is a fixed all-in price with free cancellation within the standard window. The table below matches your travel style to the right vehicle.

Your travel style Recommended service Why it works
Solo or couple, to your resort Private car (saloon) Direct door-to-door across the island to Kardamena, Kos Town or Kefalos, no shared stops and no summer meter surprises
Backpacker on a budget Shared shuttle to your resort Scheduled departures, one fixed seat price from an indicative £7pp, and your bags ride with you the whole way
Family of 4–5 with luggage Private estate or MPV A large boot for suitcases, buggies and beach kit, with child seats fitted on request — the first one is free
Group of 6–14 (family party or tour) Private minibus One vehicle keeps the whole group together to the resort, with a route-experienced driver and a single fixed all-in price
Larger group of 15+ Private coach Up to 60 seats for tour groups, wedding parties and large families, booked to match your arrival time
Ferry connection at Mastichari Private car or executive saloon A quick, direct run to the port with a driver who knows the island roads, timed to your sailing
Wheelchair user Wheelchair-accessible minibus Lift-equipped and pre-booked to match your arrival, seating 1–6 passengers

A few things worth remembering once more before you book:

  • The first child seat is free with every hoppa transfer, but it must be requested at booking; if it is not on the booking, the driver may refuse the ride and no refund is given.
  • Your fixed price is all-in: it already covers any night-time fee (22:00–08:00), always shown in your quote before you pay. There is nothing extra to pay the driver.
  • Luggage allowance is one case up to 24 inches per person; bags over 24 inches count as two pieces, so size up your vehicle if you are travelling heavy or bringing a buggy.
  • Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before pickup on cars up to 7 seats, and 48 hours before on 8–14 seaters.
  • Pets and service animals are welcome, but count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity, so flag them at booking.
Kos, Greece — hoppa airport transfer

What happens if my flight to Kos is delayed or lands late at night?

Kos runs on charter flights, and charters slip: many summer flights land long after 22:00. hoppa is built for all three situations:

  • If your flight is diverted, your driver knows before you land and will contact you to reposition or rebook.
  • If it is simply delayed, your pickup moves automatically — the 60-minute free wait plus the 30-minute international buffer covers a slow arrival.
  • If you land at 02:00, your fixed price already includes the night-time period, so there is no meter running while you queue at passport control.

A pre-booked transfer is the one part of a late Kos arrival you never have to think about.

Is hoppa cheaper than a taxi from Kos airport?

Kos has a handful of ways from the airport to your resort, and each has a fair use case:

  • A metered taxi from KGS is quick to grab, but quotes a summer rate, adds a night tariff after 22:00, and there is no fixed figure until you arrive and on a busy changeover day the rank runs dry.
  • The local bus (KTEL) is the cheapest headline fare to Kos Town, but it is slow, runs to a timetable and drops you a walk from your hotel with the cases.
  • A shared shuttle is the cheapest pre-booked option, from an indicative £7pp, with a few stops along the route.

For the cheapest fixed door-to-door option, hoppa's price is locked before you fly, with the driver waiting up to 60 minutes free. The table below shows how the options compare.

Transport option Indicative price to Kos Town Journey time What's included / what to watch for
hoppa pre-book private car
from £26 25–30 min Fixed all-in price, agreed before you fly. Named driver waits in arrivals, flight tracked, free cancellation.
hoppa shared shuttle
from £10pp 30–45 min Cheapest pre-booked option. Pre-booked seat, fixed price, a few stops along the route.
Kos airport taxi rank
€35–45 25–30 min Metered summer rate plus a night tariff after 22:00; no fixed price until you arrive and the rank runs dry on changeover days.
Local bus (KTEL)
from €3.60 40–60 min Cheap and runs to Kos Town, but slow, on a timetable and drops you a walk from your hotel with the cases.
Hotel shuttle bus
varies 45–75 min Waits for the whole coach to fill, then loops the resorts — slow and not always available.
Arrivals-hall touts
No fixed price varies Avoid. Unregulated touts at the kerb often overcharge — use the official rank or your pre-booked driver.

Watch the hidden cost: the cheapest headline fare is rarely the cheapest journey. A metered taxi with a summer surcharge or a night tariff, or a bus that drops you a walk from your hotel with the cases, can cost more in money, time and hassle than a fixed transfer to the door which is precisely when the charter flights arrive. A pre-booked hoppa transfer locks the price the moment you book: a fixed all-in fare, free cancellation up to 24 hours before, and a driver who tracks your flight. That is the whole point of pre-booking. Prices are indicative.

Kos Airport terminal guide & tips

Kos Island International Airport (KGS) has one compact passenger terminal near Antimachia, handling almost entirely summer charter and low-cost flights so every flight arrives at the same place and the walk from gate to arrivals is short. After passport control and baggage reclaim, follow the signs into the arrivals hall.

  • Private transfers meet you in the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name or the hoppa logo.
  • Shared shuttles and coaches leave from the pickup zone just outside arrivals, follow the signs, not the taxi rank.
  • Ignore anyone at the kerb offering a flat-rate run to your resort; use only your pre-booked driver or the marked official rank.

Full arrival, delay and travel detail is in the airport guide below.

Kos Island International Airport (KGS)

Where to go when you land at the single passenger terminal

Arrivals

Kos has one compact passenger terminal near Antimachia, so every flight arrives at the same place. After passport control and baggage reclaim, follow the signs into the arrivals hall. Your e-ticket lists your exact meeting point and a phone number to call if you cannot see your driver.

Private transfers

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, just past the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a sign with your name or the 'hoppa' logo.

Shared shuttles & coaches

Walk to the pickup zone just outside arrivals for the shared shuttle and coach pickup point. Follow the signs, not the taxi rank.

Delays & Driver Info

1

Free waiting time

Your driver waits up to 60 minutes after your scheduled landing, with an additional 30-minute buffer once you have cleared passport control — useful when the single baggage hall is busy on a changeover day.

Delayed or diverted?

Your driver tracks your flight from the moment you board. Kos runs on charter flights and charters slip, so if your flight is delayed or diverted, they know before you land and will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pickup — there is nothing for you to do.

?

Can't find your driver?

Head to the information desk in arrivals and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team picks up in an average of 11 seconds, a 99.7% call answer rate (CE indicators): a real person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

General Travel Information

£

Currency & tipping

Local currency is the euro (EUR). Tipping is modest and not expected, and any gratuity is already included in your hoppa fixed price. Prices here are shown in pounds for the UK market.

T

Peak traffic

The main road through Zipari backs up in peak-season traffic heading east to Kos Town. Allow extra time on a busy summer changeover day or a late-evening charter arrival.

!

Avoid unofficial taxis

Ignore anyone at the kerb offering a 'flat-rate run to your resort.' Use only the marked official taxi rank at the front of the terminal if you want a metered taxi.

R

Honest alternative

The local KTEL bus runs from the airport to Kos Town on a timetable and takes 40–60 minutes — cheaper, but slow, and it drops you a walk from your hotel with the cases, with no door-to-door service.

What to do around Kos airport?

If you have time before your transfer or your flight home, Kos and its beaches reward an early start.

  • Wander the Ancient Agora, the Castle of the Knights and the harbour tavernas in Kos Town, about 25–30 minutes from the airport.
  • Relax on the long sandy beaches of Tigaki and Marmari on the north coast, about 20–30 minutes away.
  • Catch a ferry from Mastichari, under 10 minutes away, for a day trip to Kalymnos or Pserimos.

Ready to book your Kos Airport transfers with hoppa?

Kardamena and Mastichari are barely 10 minutes from the gate, and Kos Town is a 25–30 minute run through Zipari. From the moment you step into the arrivals hall, your name is on a sign and your route is already mapped.
