Most of the time the transfer takes between 20 and 30 minutes from the moment you leave the arrivals area until the vehicle drops you off in front of your accommodation. In the early hours of the morning it is usually a little faster, and at peak times it may take a few extra minutes due to traffic near the nightlife area.
The price depends on the type of vehicle, the season, the time of day and the extras selected. As a guideline, a private car for 1–3 passengers usually starts at around 32–40 €, while a minivan for 4–7 passengers starts at 45–60 €. In the booking form you will always see the fixed amount before confirming.
The airport taxi runs on a meter or official fares and usually involves queuing at the taxi rank. The private transfer is booked before you travel, has a fixed price per journey, includes meet & greet at arrivals and uses your flight number to adjust the pick-up time. For families, groups and late-night arrivals it is usually a more comfortable and predictable option.
During the booking you provide your flight number. The provider monitors the actual arrival time and adjusts the driver's schedule within a reasonable margin. This way the vehicle is coordinated with the time you actually come out of the terminal, without any surcharge for small timetable changes.
You can book just the arrival transfer or both arrival and return. Securing the return transfer as well guarantees vehicle availability on your departure day and a pick-up time tailored to your flight schedule and the advance time recommended by the airline.
In areas with restricted traffic or narrow streets, the driver will drop you off at the closest permitted point, usually a loading/unloading bay or an accessible corner. Many accommodations provide specific directions that are passed on to the driver to make arrival easier.
