Differences between shuttle buses and private Kos transport

Shuttle buses and private Kos transport are good options for getting from Kos Airport to your hotel or around the island. Although each has its pros and cons, there are some basic differences between them you need to consider.

Shuttle buses in Kos

If you’re staying in a luxury hotel in Kos, you will probably be offered a shuttle bus service. Sometimes shuttle bus services are included in the hotel price. However, many hotels offer this service at an extra charge!

One thing you should know about shuttle buses is that they aren’t private means of transportation. That means you will share the bus with other passengers whose final destinations are different from yours. Therefore, the shuttle bus will make several stops to drop them off, which might result in delays.

Private transfers in Kos

If you book a private transfer in Kos with Ride & Hire, you won’t share your private vehicle with anyone other than your partner, family, friends, or travel companions. This way, you will feel more comfortable and enjoy a hassle-free journey without delays.

Private transfer services are also a great way to get from wherever you are to your destination, as the driver can pick you up from Kos Airport, Mastichari, Kefalos, and many other spots throughout the island!

How much does a Kos transfer cost?

The cost of transfer services in Kos depends on the distance between your departure point and your final destination as well as the type of vehicle you choose. For example, booking a private Kos airport taxi doesn’t cost the same as booking an airport transfer by express shuttle bus. You can find the prices for itineraries from/to Kos Airport, Kos Town, Mastichari, Kardamena, Marmari, and other areas at the bottom of this page!
