What affects the cost of a transfer? The honest list

It is a fair question, and most sites answer it with a form instead of a number. So here is the plain version: what moves the cost of a transfer from Larnaca or Ercan to your hotel in the north, and what stays the same whatever happens.

1. Which airport: Larnaca or Ercan

This is the biggest single factor. Larnaca (LCA) is in the south, so the journey is longer and crosses the Green Line — we handle the crossing for you, but it adds distance and time. Ercan (ECN) is in the north, so there is no border to cross and the drive to Kyrenia is short. If you have a choice of flights, our Larnaca vs Ercan guide weighs the trade-off in full.

2. Where in the north you are going

Distance drives the rest. Kyrenia and Nicosia sit closest to the crossing; Famagusta, İskele and the Bafra hotel zone are further along the coast, so those transfers cover more ground. The price follows the road, not a zone map — a door in central Kyrenia and a resort out on Long Beach are simply different distances.

3. How many of you, and how much luggage

Our vehicle is a Mercedes VIP Vito for up to 6 guests, so a couple and a family of six travel in the same car at the same price — you are booking the vehicle, not a seat. What can change things is extra luggage, a child seat, or a group larger than six that needs a second vehicle. Tell us in advance and we build it into the quote so nothing is a surprise at the door.

4. The time of day

A 3am landing and a midday one are not quite the same job. Very late-night and early-morning pickups can carry a small difference, but the flip side matters more: we track your flight, so if you land at 4am two hours late, your driver is still there with your name and nothing changes for you.

5. One-way or return

Most guests book the arrival first and add the return once they know their departure. A return is two journeys, but planning both together is simpler for everyone and lets us hold the same driver and vehicle for your trip home. Ask for a return when you book and we will price the pair.

Why no fixed-price list? Because an honest number depends on the airport, the destination and the details above. A single "all-in" figure either overcharges the short trips or hides a catch on the long ones. We would rather give you the real price for your journey — from £100, with no hidden fees.

What is always included

"No hidden fees" is only worth saying if it is specific. Here is what the price always carries, on every transfer:

• Meet & greet at arrivals, with your name on the board.
• Flight tracking, so a delayed or early landing costs you nothing.
• The border crossing handled for you on Larnaca journeys — one vehicle the whole way.
• Door to door to your hotel, not to a drop-off point.
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.

No meter, no negotiation at the roadside, no second car after the border. The figure we agree when you book is the figure you pay.
