Common questions
-
Reservations / bookings
-
1. Can I make a last-minute reservation?
Yes, it is possible to make a last minute booking, even if you are already at the airport or the port of Heraklion. You can contact us and, depending on the number and type of vehicles you need, we will be at your service as soon as possible.
-
2. Can I book a vehicle if I'm not going to or coming from an airport or port?
Yes, it is possible. Please contact us if your point of departure or destination is not on the form.
-
3. Can I book a one-way trip?
Of course! You just need to select ''Only one-way'' on the search form on the main page of our website. Nevertheless, during your stay you will be sent an online discount voucher for your return.
-
4. Can I book a transfer to the port or the airport?
Sure! Just select the airport or the port of your choice in the field “Destination” on the booking form.
-
5. Will anyone else be travelling in the vehicle I book?
No. All transfers carried out by our company are private.
-
6. Do I need to tip the driver?
Tipping by definition is voluntary and at the discretion of the client.
-
7. What does the price include?
Tipping by definition is voluntary and at the discretion of the client.
-
8. What luggage entitlement will I have?
You can bring 1 bag or medium size suitcase per passenger seat in the vehicle selected, and one piece of hand luggage such as a handbag or small bag (camera or laptop bag or similar).
Carry-on cases are considered to be suitcases rather than hand luggage.
Your luggage entitlement is therefore defined by the size of vehicle you book. For example, a 4-seater taxi has space for 4 medium-sized suitcases, as well as 4 small hand-luggage items. An 8-seater minivan has double the luggage capacity. If you wish to bring any extra items, you will be able to select these whilst completing the booking.
If you are in any doubt as to whether your luggage will fit in the vehicle, we strongly recommend you upgrade to a larger one in order to ensure that you will have a comfortable and stress-free journey.
-
9. When should I book?
We recommend that you book as early as possible so you have the best chance of beating any price increases, which may occur at any time during the year, especially prior to each holiday season.
-
10. The members in my travel party need to be picked up from or dropped off at different addresses. Can I make such a booking?
Yes. For private transfers you have the option to book an extra stop during our booking process, so that you can indicate an additional pickup or drop off address if both of them belong to the destination you have selected.
If the two addresses are located in different cities/towns, please make two separate bookings.
This option will be offered once you have selected your travel dates and vehicle type.
-
11. I would like to book a trip to/from the airport but I’m not taking a flight. Is this possible?
Sure. The only difference would be that, instead of selecting an airline and an originating airport, you just need to select "no flight".
Whenever we receive a booking like this, we double check with you and our local traffic manager what the best pick up/drop off place would be at the airport.
-
12. Which vehicle should I select?
We recommend you select a suitable vehicle based on the number of passengers, the amount of luggage and the extra items you may be carrying.
-
13. Can I make a booking for a different number of passengers for the outbound journey and for the return?
Just book for the maximum number of people travelling on any one of the journeys or make one booking for each journey.
-
14. How long will the journey take?
The approximate journey time will be displayed during the booking process. Journey times stated on the website are approximate and may vary according to road and weather conditions, volume of traffic, etc.
-
15. Can I make a booking on behalf of a third party?
Yes, during the booking process you will be asked to enter the details of the passenger.
-
16. My travel group are landing on different flights. How can I book?
In order to ensure that every passenger receives the best and most prompt service we recommend you make one booking for each flight number.
The driver monitors the arrival time of only one flight number per booking in order to be able to collect the passengers arriving on that flight as quickly as possible.
-
17. Can minors book or travel alone?
Only on request.
