There's no single published price list for private transfers in Rhodes — the cost is set per route, based on distance, vehicle size, time of transfer, and any extra stops. That doesn't mean it's unpredictable: searching directly on the site shows you the quote for your exact route before you commit to anything.
It makes sense to want to know your transfer cost before locking in the rest of your trip. The catch is that no serious private transfer company publishes one flat price list — and there's a real reason for that.
Why there's no fixed price list
The cost of a private transfer isn't one number — it's the result of several variables together. Two families both heading "to Rhodes" can end up with completely different costs, because one is going to Rhodes Town (close to the airport) and the other to Lindos (much further away). That's exactly why serious transfer companies quote per route instead of publishing a generic price list that would mislead the traveller.
The real factors that set the price
- Route distance — airport to Rhodes Town costs differently from airport to Lindos or Faliraki, simply due to the kilometres involved
- Number of passengers/vehicle size — a larger family may need a second vehicle
- Time of the transfer — very early or very late hours typically follow a different pricing logic across most transfer companies, as a general industry practice
- Extra stops — if you need a stop along the way (say, at a supermarket before the hotel), that affects the route
- Extra luggage beyond the usual — if you're carrying equipment (diving gear, golf clubs), mention it at booking
Private Transfer vs Taxi vs Car Rental — how cost is shaped
| Option | How the cost is set | What you know in advance |
| Private transfer | Per route, with a quote before booking | Your exact quote, before you commit |
| Taxi | Metered, based on traffic and time | Nothing fixed — you find out at the end |
| Car rental | Daily rate + fuel + insurance + extras | The base rate, not the total cost of use |
Common mistakes people make when searching "how much does it cost”
First mistake: expecting to find one fixed number online and getting confused when they can't. In reality, no reliable company can give a single price without knowing your route.
Second mistake: comparing only the taxi price at the moment of arrival, without accounting for the fact that it can vary by time, demand, or negotiation.
Third mistake: not mentioning special needs (child seat, extra luggage) upfront, then being surprised if the quote needs adjusting.
Step by step: how to get your exact quote
The only sure way to know the real cost is to run the search with your own details. Go to dodekanisosservices.gr/en/car-transfer, enter your pickup point (say, Rhodes Airport) and destination (say, Lindos), the date, and passenger count. The system shows you the available quote for your exact route immediately — with no commitment until you confirm.

An example that shows the logic
A traveller coming alone for business asked why his transfer to Rhodes Town looked cheaper than a friend's transfer to Lindos, even though they travelled the same week. The answer was simple: Rhodes Town is much closer to the airport than Lindos is — the difference had nothing to do with "luck" or negotiation; it was purely about distance. Once he understood that, he stopped looking for a "general price list" and started requesting a quote per route instead — much simpler in practice.
What to have ready before requesting a quote
Before you start the search, think through your exact pickup and drop-off point (not just "Rhodes," but the specific area or hotel), the number of passengers and bags, and whether you need anything extra like a child seat or a stop along the way. The more precise your details, the more accurate the quote you'll see — no guessing required.
The cost of a private transfer isn't a mystery — it's just personalised. And that, ultimately, works in your favour: you don't pay for a route you're not actually taking.
