The cost of your taxi transfer will depend on the operator and the type of the vehicle you choose. Very often, there is little or no difference in price between a car accommodating three passengers and a van good for up to 9 pax. The latter offers much more comfort in the sense of legroom and luggage space, so even if you are not a large party, it is still worth checking the price for both options before making your choice. Note that on some routes – especially to and from the airports – there may be an additional fee for each piece of luggage. On the positive side, remember that during certain periods or on some routes, taxi charter companies may offer free class upgrade – book the cheapest economy ride and get a larger car.
