Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

CreteCarTransfers is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure.

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking.

Your driver will check your flight number and will accommodate your new time of arrival accordingly.

You can return to your location of origin on the same day or on which your schedule permits. This can be booked for the return trip. You may specify your exact address at the time of booking.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your preferred date and time. Select One Way or Return trip through the type of trip you need. To arrange a custom route on our website, you can request a custom quote via mail or phone.

Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.

Your driver will meet you at the agreed time and place and won't be contacting you before, unless necessary. You'll receive a reminder with your driver's name and mobile number a few days before departure in case you need to contact them.
