Faro Airport transfers: Frequently asked questions
What’s the luggage allowance?
You're generally allowed to bring one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per passenger, whether travelling by shuttle bus or private transfer.
This will be confirmed when you book but it’s worth checking before you travel to make sure your vehicle will be suitable for the luggage you have.
What’s the difference between a hoppa shuttle bus service and private transport?
When you choose one of our low-cost Faro shuttle bus transfers, you’ll share the journey from the airport to your holiday accommodation with other holidaymakers and there will be drop-off points on the route. If you opt for a private taxi, you and those in your party will be the only passengers and you’ll travel directly to your accommodation.
There are also slight differences when you are picked up from Faro Airport. Private transfers include scheduled pick-up times, so you’ll know from looking at your e-ticket what time your driver will be expecting to meet you.
Shuttle bus passengers may find that there’s a waiting time of up to 45 minutes. This is because you might be joined by travellers arriving on different flights.
What happens when I get to Faro Airport?
When you arrive at Faro Airport, head to the arrivals hall where you’ll be greeted by a hoppa representative. They’ll be holding a sign displaying either your name or ‘hoppa’. Show them your e-ticket and they’ll take you to your shuttle bus or private transport. Always check the information on your ticket as these meeting details can change.
Sometimes our drivers can be slightly delayed due to traffic or other reasons. If you can’t see them when you get to the arrivals hall, call the number on your e-ticket to get an update. The team at the resort will ask for the reference number on your ticket and then they should be able to tell you where your driver is.
What if my flight into Faro is delayed?
We’ll always do our best to make sure you’re able to get to your holiday accommodation, even if there’s a slight interruption to start with. If your flight’s delayed or you’re held up because of your luggage, your driver will wait for 45 minutes. However, we suggest you call the number on your e-ticket just in case. A new driver might be sent to you for delays of over 45 minutes.
For any delays that go over three hours, you’ll have to rearrange your transfers with us. You can then claim through your travel insurance.
