Heraklion Airport to Malia Transfers Fixed-Price Taxis, Private Cars & Shuttles to Malia Beach Road, Old Town & Potamos Beach

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some services include a night-time fee for travel between 22:00 and 08:00, and prices may adjust on local holidays. Contact customer service if you want to confirm the night-time fee for your pickup time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pre-booking is the predictable option. A pre-booked hoppa transfer to Malia is a fixed price agreed before you fly, with a named driver already tracking your flight. The rank taxis at Heraklion Airport run on the meter, so you only know the fare at the end of the ride, and summer traffic on the national road can push it up. With hoppa the fare is fixed the moment you book, so traffic on the way never pushes it up.

Malia sits about 32 km east of Heraklion Airport, around a 30-minute drive. A pre-booked private car is an indicative £45 for the whole car, fixed with no meter. A rank taxi runs on the meter, so the fare depends on traffic and you only see it at the end. Prices are indicative.

The shared shuttle is the lowest-price pre-booked option, from an indicative £8 per person, with a few hotel stops before yours. The KTEL public bus is cheaper still, at under €5, but you walk about eight minutes to the stop near the airport with your cases, and again from the stop in Malia to your hotel. A private car costs more but takes only your group, straight to your Malia hotel. Either way with hoppa the price is fixed before you travel. Prices are indicative.
