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.

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?

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?

Frequently asked questions

How do I book Gran Canaria transfers with hoppa?

We want to make sure arranging your Gran Canaria transfers with us is simple and stress-free. That’s why we offer an easy-to-navigate booking system.

Begin by entering the dates you’ll be travelling and number of passengers into the search bar. You’ll then see the list of transport options that you can choose from and you’ll either select a shuttle bus or one of our private transfers.

Once you’ve made your decision, you’ll reach the ‘Extras’ page. This is the part of the booking where you can tell us about your individual requirements for the journey.

In the ‘Anything we can help with?’ box, you can request an adapted car for your motorised wheelchair: tell us if you have a foldable wheelchair: or let us know if you’ll have any unusual luggage with you. This means we can make sure we provide you with a vehicle that’s the best fit.

I can’t decide between a shuttle bus or a private vehicle from LPA?

Travelling via private transfer means that you will have a set pick-up time from the airport. This time is included on your e-ticket and means you’ll know when to expect your driver before your flight into Gran Canaria.

When you meet your driver, you and the rest of your group will be the only passengers in the private vehicle, and you’ll all be taken directly to your holiday accommodation from the airport.

For budget-friendly transport, our shuttle buses offer no-fuss airport transfers in Gran Canaria. As you’ll be travelling with holidaymakers from other parties, there might be a wait of up to 45 minutes before you set off from the airport while you wait for your fellow passengers’ flights to land.

Once you’ve all set off from the airport, your fellow passengers on your bus are dropped off along the way. Your holiday accommodation will be one of the drop-off points.

How much luggage can I bring with me?

Everyone in your party can bring one suitcase and one piece of hand luggage each. We suggest you double-check that the vehicle is going to be suitable for the luggage that you’ll have with you before you book with us.

So, if you need a people carrier for the large group you’ll be travelling with or you need an accessible vehicle, make sure you’ve arranged this before you confirm your booking.

What’s the e-ticket?

We send you an e-ticket when you complete your booking. This is the document that includes key information about your journey, from pick-up times to collection points.

When you receive it, check through it carefully to make sure it includes information about your Gran Canaria transfers with us. If there are any incomplete sections or you think anything is missing, call the number at the bottom of the ticket to find out more.

It’s worth printing your e-ticket before you set off for your flight so that you can show it to your driver when you get into Gran Canaria. You’ll be asked to show it to the driver when you’re setting off on your return transfer at the end of your holiday too, so keep hold of it.

Where will I meet my driver when I get to Gran Canaria Airport?

When you land in Gran Canaria, you’ll need to follow the information on your e-ticket to locate your driver. The instructions you’re given may differ to other hoppa passengers, depending on the travel partner providing the transfer service and the type of transport you’ve selected.

Most pick-up directions will tell you to head to the hoppa desk (Viajes Poseidon desk, which is office number 13 at Terminal / Arrivals Hall 2). To find this, when you reach the arrivals area after the baggage reclaim, you’ll see the desk located to the left.

When you locate your transfer representative, show them your e-ticket. You’ll then either be taken straight to your vehicle if you’re taking a private transfer or escorted to your vehicle or to a waiting area if you’re travelling by shuttle bus.

I've arrived at Gran Canaria but I can't find my driver, what now?

If you can’t see your driver when you get to your pick-up point, call the number on your e-ticket to get an update. Sometimes they get caught up in heavy traffic, but we’ll always let you know what’s happening.

What if my flight to Gran Canaria is delayed?

If your flight’s delayed or your luggage hasn’t arrived on time, your driver will wait for 45 minutes. As soon as you know there’ll be a hold-up, give the number on your e-ticket a call to let us know.

We might send you a new driver if the delay goes over the 45-minute waiting time, so letting us know as early as possible means we can get on with making alternative transfer arrangements from Gran Canaria Airport.

Should your delay exceed three hours, you’ll need to call us to rearrange your transfer. You can then claim through your travel insurance.

What’s available at Gran Canaria Airport?

As well as being the gateway to a destination filled with idyllic beaches and captivating landscapes: superb golfing across eight courses and decadent cuisine such as the creamy queso de flor cheese, Gran Canaria Airport is also a bustling hub for holidaymakers.

In 2023, 14 million passengers used the airport. With so many visitors, it gets especially busy during the summer months. You can avoid the long taxi queues by choosing hoppa for your holiday transfers in Gran Canaria.

While you wait for your flight, you can head to the duty free, pick up some souvenirs or take your seat in one of the eateries.

My holiday is over: where shall I meet my driver for my return transfer?

If you book a shuttle bus for your return journey to the airport, you’ll be able to check your pick-up time 24 hours before your plane is due to depart.

Should you decide to opt to receive SMS messages from us when you book, we’ll send you a text message that tells you when you’ll be collected. You can also check your pick-up time online. Click on ‘My bookings’ and ‘Get my pick-up time’. If you can’t see your pick-up time, call the number on your ticket.

We recommend that you get to your pick-up point 10 minutes before your bus arrives. If your bus is late, call the emergency number on your e-ticket and we’ll update you.

Have you booked a private transfer to Gran Canaria Airport? Your pick-up time for the return leg of your journey is in the ‘Find my pick-up’ section of your e-ticket. We suggest being ready for collection from your accommodation 15 minutes before your pick-up time.

You’ll receive a reminder text if you choose to receive SMS messages from us when you place your transfer booking. If your driver isn’t there at the allotted time, call one of the emergency numbers on your ticket.

Do you offer wheelchair-accessible transfers?

Yes, we provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Please request this service when booking.

Are hoppa's prices fixed or will there be additional costs?

All our prices are fixed at the time of booking, so there are no hidden fees or unexpected charges.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, child seats are available on request. Please select this option at the time of booking.
