Everything you need to know before you book in Rhodes

Pick a topic to see the most common questions travellers ask at Rhodes 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.

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 mandatory 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.

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.

Choosing between shuttle bus & private transport

If you’re not sure which transport option to go for, here’s an overview of what we offer:

Shuttle buses

  • This is a cost-efficient transfer option.
  • You may have some waiting time at Rhodes Airport once you arrive, as you’ll be travelling with other passengers who are likely to land on the island after you have touched down.
  • There are drop-off points for other passengers along the route, so your accommodation may not be the first port of call.

Private transfers

  • You and the rest of your travelling party will be the only passengers.
  • You will have a pick-up time, which is listed on your e-ticket. This is the point at which you’ll meet the driver of your Rhodes transfer vehicle.
  • You’ll be escorted directly to your vehicle and subsequently driven straight to your accommodation without any stops along the way.

Which Rhodes airport transfer is right for you?

hoppa offers a range of vehicles to suit every party size and budget. Here is how the options compare so you can pick the right one before you book:

Your travel style Recommended service Why it works
Solo & budget travellers Shared shuttle The lowest fixed price per seat. You share the ride with others heading the same way — ideal when you are travelling light and time is flexible.
Couples & families Private car Up to 4 passengers with luggage, door to door, no shared stops. A named driver meets you at arrivals and takes you straight to your accommodation.
Larger families & small groups Private minibus Room for the whole party and the cases in one vehicle, on one fixed price — no splitting across taxis or waiting for a second car.
Groups, clubs & sports teams Private coach Keeps everyone together from the terminal to the resort. Best value per head for larger numbers on a single agreed price.
Travellers with reduced mobility Wheelchair-accessible vehicle Request at booking so the right adapted vehicle is sent. Space for a wheelchair plus travelling companions, meet-and-greet at arrivals.

A few things worth remembering before you book

A little planning makes your Rhodes transfer run smoothly. Here are the details travellers ask about most:

  • Child seats — the first child seat is free and must be requested at booking. Extra seats may carry a small supplier fee, shown in your quote before you pay.
  • Luggage — the standard allowance is one suitcase up to 24 inches plus a piece of hand luggage per person; cases over 24 inches count as two. Flag oversized items at booking so the right vehicle is sent.
  • Free cancellation — cancel a car or vehicle up to 7 seats more than 24 hours before travel for a full refund; 8–14 seats more than 48 hours before; 16+ seats more than 14 days before.
  • Night arrivals — a late-night period applies between 22:00 and 08:00, but your fixed price is agreed up front, so there is nothing to settle with the driver.

Is hoppa cheaper than a taxi in Rhodes?

A pre-booked hoppa transfer gives you a fixed all-in price agreed before you fly — no meter, no night surcharge added on the day, no surprise at the kerb. A metered taxi from the rank runs on the meter, and a 22:00–08:00 night surcharge applies.

For solo travellers and couples the shared shuttle is the cheapest pre-booked option; a private car is the direct, door-to-door choice for families and groups. Prices are indicative.

Transport option Indicative price to Rhodes Town Journey time What's included / what to watch for
hoppa pre-book private car
from £16~€19 20–25 min Named driver waiting inside arrivals. Fixed all-in price locked at booking, flight tracked, 60-min free wait. No meter running into town.
hoppa shared shuttle
from £9pp~€10 25–40 min Cheapest pre-booked option for solo travellers and couples. Named driver, all-in price, a couple of stops on the way.
Rhodes airport taxi rank
€30–38cash only 20–25 min Metered taxi from the rank outside arrivals. A 22:00–08:00 night surcharge applies and the driver does not track your flight.
Greeting-hall freelance
€55–70cash only 20–25 min Often quoted well above the metered fare. No fixed price, no flight tracking, no recourse if the fare changes once you set off.
KTEL Rodou airport bus
from €2.60cash only 30–45 min Cheapest of all, but slow. Drops at the Rhodes Town bus terminal, not your door; limited luggage room and a thin late-night timetable.

Watch the hidden cost: a metered taxi looks simple until a summer queue, a late-night surcharge between 22:00 and 08:00 or a freelance driver quoting above the meter pushes the fare up. A pre-booked hoppa transfer is one fixed, all-in price agreed before you fly so the number you see is the number you pay. Prices are indicative.

What happens after I choose my transport?

Once you’ve decided on your choice of transfer, you’ll come to the ‘Extras’ stage of your booking, including the ‘Anything we can help with?’ box.

This is your opportunity to tell us anything we may need to know regarding your airport transfers in Rhodes – whether you are travelling with a passenger in a wheelchair, for example – or perhaps you have some large or unusual luggage that needs extra care. Whatever the situation, here at hoppa we take great pride in being able to accommodate your needs.

What happens if my flight into Rhodes is delayed?

There is no need to panic if your flight lands late or your bags are slow off the belt. Your driver tracks your flight and waits free for up to 60 minutes after you actually land, plus a 30-minute buffer on international arrivals.

If a delay runs well beyond that free window, call the number on your e-ticket and we will arrange a new driver where needed. A delayed flight or a slow baggage belt is nothing to worry about.

The luggage limit

Our standard allowance includes one piece of hand luggage and one suitcase per person on both our private vehicles and shuttle buses. Should you be bringing more luggage with you, please check when you book that your transfer vehicle has adequate room available.

Where should I go when I land in Rhodes?

It’s worth having your e-ticket ready when you arrive and if you check the ‘Find my pick-up’ section, you’ll see our helpful instructions on where you need to go to meet your travel representative.

Those directions can vary, depending on the provider of your airport shuttle in Rhodes and whether you’re travelling privately or with passengers from other parties. Most services in Rhodes require you to visit your provider’s desk, although some do ask that you simply make your way to the arrivals hall, where someone will be waiting with a sign bearing either your name, hoppa or that of the travel company.

Please read your pick-up instructions carefully and if you can’t see any information on the e-ticket regarding your Rhodes Airport transfers, dial the number provided and you’ll be able to find out where you need to be.

I can’t find my driver

Unfortunately, busy traffic can occasionally cause our drivers to be a little late. But there’s no need to worry – if the driver of your Rhodes transfer is not on time to meet you at the pick-up point, simply ring the number on your e-ticket and we’ll be able to update you on their progress.

The e-ticket

Once the booking of your Rhodes transfer has been completed, you’ll receive an e-ticket to your email address. Please keep this document safe as it includes important information such as contact numbers and pick-up details, and we recommend you familiarise yourself fully with everything on there before you touch down.

We would also advise printing off your e-ticket before you travel, as having a hard copy to hand may come in useful when showing it to your driver, rather than relying on being able to open your mobile version on your phone.

What if I don’t arrive in Rhodes on time?

There’s also no need to panic if your flight into Rhodes is delayed, or your bags take their time coming off the carousel. If you give us a call on the number provided on your e-ticket to let us know you’ll be late, we’ll track your flight and let the driver know. On airport arrivals your driver waits free for up to 60 minutes after your flight actually lands, plus a 30-minute buffer on international arrivals – so a delayed flight or a slow baggage belt is nothing to worry about.

If your flight is delayed well beyond that free window, give us a call on the number on your e-ticket and we’ll sort a new driver where needed, while any delays of more than three hours will mean you’ll need to rearrange your Rhodes Airport transfers and contact your travel insurance company.

Rhodes Airport terminal guide & tips

Rhodes International Airport 'Diagoras' (RHO) has a single passenger terminal, so finding your way out is simple. Clear passport control and baggage reclaim, then head into the arrivals hall where your hoppa driver is waiting with a sign. The airport sits about eight miles from Rhodes Town, a short drive along the island's north-eastern tip.

Rhodes Airport (RHO) arrival guide

Rhodes International Airport ‘Diagoras’ — everything you need to know from touchdown to your resort.

Arriving at Rhodes Airport

Single terminal, quick to navigate

Rhodes International Airport ‘Diagoras’ has one passenger terminal serving all international and domestic flights. From gate to arrivals hall is usually a 5–10 minute walk with clear English signage throughout.

Passport control & e-gates

Non-EU arrivals queue for manual passport check; EU/UK passport holders can use the e-gates for faster processing. Allow 15–30 minutes in high season (May–October) when multiple flights land together.

Baggage reclaim

Multiple baggage belts serve international arrivals. Bags typically appear 15–25 minutes after landing; longer during peak-season overlap when several charter flights land within an hour.

Meeting your hoppa driver

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall with a name board bearing your surname. Head through customs to the meeting area, and your driver will greet you and escort you to the vehicle. Your e-ticket carries the exact meeting point and a phone number if you cannot see them.

Peak arrival window: Saturday afternoons in July and August can see 10–12 UK and European charter flights land within a two-hour window. Expect longer queues at passport control and slower baggage delivery on this day.

Onward transport from Rhodes Airport

Pre-booked hoppa transfers

The most reliable option in high season. Fixed all-in fare, driver tracks your flight with 60 minutes of free wait plus a 30-minute buffer on international arrivals, and meets you inside arrivals with a name board. Journey times range from 20 minutes (Rhodes Town) to 75 minutes (Kiotari).

Public bus (KTEL Rhodes)

The KTEL Rhodes bus runs from the airport to Rhodes Town roughly every 60–90 minutes during the day, with connections onward to Faliraki, Lindos and southern resorts. Fare around €2.50 to Rhodes Town, cash only, exact change preferred. Limited luggage space.

Local taxi rank

Metered blue-and-white taxis wait outside the arrivals exit. 22:00–06:00 attracts a night surcharge, and luggage adds around €0.50 per bag. Queues can exceed 45 minutes on Saturday afternoons and evening arrivals in peak season.

Car hire

Multiple international and local car rental desks operate inside the terminal. Book online in advance for high season — on-day rates can double in July and August. Rhodes is easy to explore by car with good coastal roads to Lindos and the south.

Facilities inside Rhodes Airport

Rhodes Airport is a mid-size Greek terminal, with more airside options than smaller Aegean airports but still limited compared to major hubs. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Free Wi-Fi throughout terminal
  • Cafés and light meals
  • Duty-free shop (departures)
  • ATMs in arrivals & departures
  • Currency exchange
  • Baby-change facilities
  • Reduced-mobility assistance
  • Tourist information desk
  • Toilets throughout terminal
  • Prayer room
  • Left luggage service
  • First-aid station

Airside options are compact: Once past security in departures, the food and shopping selection is modest. Grab a meal or coffee before checking in if you want more choice.

Insider tips for Rhodes Airport

Book high-season transfers early

Rhodes is one of Greece’s busiest summer airports. From mid-May to early October, transfer supply tightens and taxi queues can exceed 45 minutes. Pre-booking your hoppa transfer avoids the queue entirely.

Time your arrival

Weekday morning flights are quietest through immigration and baggage. Saturday afternoons are the busiest window — if you can choose your flight, this alone can save you 30–45 minutes.

Currency: Euro (€)

Greece uses the Euro. Card payments are widely accepted at the airport and in most resorts, but keep small Euro notes for the airport bus, tavernas, tips and any airport refreshments.

Grab water before you leave

Summer temperatures on Rhodes regularly hit 33°C+. Buy a bottle of water at the airport shops before your transfer — especially useful on longer runs to Lindos, Pefkos or Kiotari where the journey approaches 75 minutes.

Save your driver’s details

When you receive your hoppa e-ticket, save the driver’s phone number to your phone before you fly. Airport Wi-Fi can be patchy in high season when hundreds of arrivals connect at once.

Your return journey

Check your pick-up time in ‘My Bookings’ or your SMS 24 hours before you fly home, and be at the meeting point 10 minutes early. In a private vehicle you are collected from your accommodation at the exact time on your e-ticket.

Rhodes Town approach: On landing from the north, sit on the right side of the plane for a spectacular view of the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, one of the largest inhabited medieval towns in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Heading home

Unfortunately, all holidays have to come to an end, and your return Rhodes transfer will depend on the type of travel you’ve booked:

Private vehicle

  • Your driver will pick you up at your accommodation at the time stated on your e-ticket.
  • We recommend opting to receive SMS alerts from us ahead of your trip as it’s a nice, simple way of getting a reminder about the timing of your return transfer.

How long does the transfer from Rhodes Airport take?

It depends on your resort. Rhodes Town is around 20 minutes, Faliraki around 30, Lindos around 65 and Pefkos around 70. Rhodes Airport sits about eight miles from Rhodes Town on the island's north-eastern tip.

What is the difference between a private transfer and a shared shuttle?

A private transfer takes you and your party directly from arrivals to your accommodation with no shared stops. A shared shuttle is the cheaper, budget-friendly option that picks up other passengers on the route, so the journey can take a little longer.

Which Rhodes resorts does hoppa cover?

hoppa covers every resort on the island, including Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Kolymbia, Lindos, Pefkos and Kiotari. Enter your exact destination at the top of the page to see your fixed price.

Will my driver meet me at Rhodes Airport?

Yes. Rhodes Airport has a single terminal. Clear passport control and baggage reclaim, then look for your hoppa driver holding a sign with your name or the hoppa logo in the arrivals hall. Your e-ticket carries the exact meeting point and a phone number.

How much luggage can I bring?

The standard allowance is one suitcase up to 24 inches plus a piece of hand luggage per person. Cases over 24 inches count as two pieces. Flag oversized or unusual items at booking so the right vehicle is allocated.

Can I add a child seat?

Yes. The first child seat is free and must be requested at booking. Additional seats may carry a small supplier fee, shown in your quote before you pay.

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

Your driver tracks your flight and waits free for up to 60 minutes after you land, plus a 30-minute buffer on international arrivals. A late-night period applies between 22:00 and 08:00, but your fixed price is agreed up front, so there is nothing extra to settle with the driver.
