Which Vehicle Do I Need? GetSeat Fleet, Seats and Luggage Guide

Thessaloniki Transfers

Quick answer: which vehicle do I need?

Count passengers and suitcases, then pick the smallest vehicle that fits both:

  • Economy: up to 3 passengers and 3 suitcases.
  • Standard: up to 4 passengers and 4 suitcases.
  • Minivan: up to 8 passengers and 8 large suitcases.
  • VIP (Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, V-Class) and minibus up to 18 seats: on request.

All prices are fixed per vehicle, not per person, so a full minivan is often the cheapest way for a group to travel.

Prices by vehicle on popular routes

Live starting prices per vehicle, straight from our booking system:

Route Economy Standard Minivan
Thessaloniki Airport → city centre €30 €35 €60
Thessaloniki Airport → Sani Resort €76 €82 €93
Thessaloniki Airport → Hanioti €94 €99 €118
Athens Airport → city centre €55 €60 €100
Athens Airport → Piraeus port €65 €70 €120

Example: four adults with four suitcases fit in one Standard car. Five adults need a minivan, which still costs less than two separate taxis.

How to count your luggage

The suitcase numbers above mean one large checked suitcase per passenger (about 23 kg, up to roughly 75 cm tall), plus a small bag or backpack each.

  • Cabin-size trolleys take less space: two of them count roughly as one large suitcase.
  • Strollers, golf bags, bicycles, skis, surfboards or musical instruments: please list them in the booking notes. They usually need a minivan.
  • Foldable wheelchairs fit in most vehicles. If you need a vehicle with a ramp, contact us before you book.
  • Not sure? Book the larger vehicle or send us a message. A car that is too small is the one thing we cannot fix at the airport.

Comfort extras: Wi-Fi and water

Wi-Fi and bottled water are free of charge on request. Please mention them when you book, so we send a vehicle that has them. Every vehicle is air-conditioned and cleaned before each transfer.

VIP transfers: Mercedes E-Class, S-Class and V-Class

For executives, weddings or anyone who wants an extra level of comfort we arrange Mercedes E-Class and S-Class sedans and the Mercedes V-Class minivan, on request. They come with an experienced chauffeur and the same fixed-price, flight-tracking service. See our corporate and VIP travel page or contact us with your date and route.

Groups up to 18: minibus transfers

For groups of 9 to 18 people, such as wedding guests, sports teams or company trips, we arrange minibuses with up to 18 seats on request. One vehicle keeps the group together and has room for 18 or more suitcases. For larger groups we combine vehicles and coordinate the pickups.

Safety and standards

  • Every passenger has a seat with a seat belt. We never carry more passengers than the seats of the vehicle.
  • Licensed professional drivers who know the airports, ports and resorts of the region.
  • Licensed, insured vehicles, air-conditioned and cleaned before every transfer.
  • The right child seat for every child who needs one, fitted before you get in.

Booking tips for July and August

  • Book minivans and minibuses early. They are the first vehicles to sell out on summer Saturdays and Sundays, when most Halkidiki hotels change guests.
  • Add every child and every large item to the booking, so we send a vehicle where everything fits.
  • Groups arriving on different flights can book one transfer per flight. Tell us, and we coordinate the pickups.

What every vehicle class includes

  • A licensed, professional driver.
  • Meet & greet with a name sign at airports and ports.
  • Live flight tracking and 60 minutes of free waiting at airports.
  • Tolls, fuel, luggage and VAT in the fixed price.
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
