Differences between shuttle buses and private Heraklion transport

If you wonder whether it is better to opt for a shuttle bus or a private Heraklion transport service, you may want to know their differences, to make the best decision. So, here’s all you need to know about each of them!

Most big hotels in Heraklion offer shuttle bus services to their guests. While getting around by shuttle bus is easy, it is not a private means of transportation, meaning other passengers will be in the vehicle with you. Additionally, each passenger’s final destination is different, meaning the shuttle bus will make several stops to drop them off, which might result in delays.

If you book a private taxi transfer or airport transfer with Ride and Hire, you and your partner/family/friends will be the only passengers in the vehicle. This means you will have a more comfortable and enjoyable journey. Another advantage of booking a private transfer in Heraklion is that the driver can pick you up from anywhere in the region, including the airport, the port to Heraklion city, and Knossos, and take you directly to your destination.

How much does Heraklion transfer cost?
