A private transfer from Rethymno Town to Chersonissos covers 104.0 km (64.6 mi) in about 1 hr 34 min and costs a fixed fare from €130 per vehicle, not per person.
One booking covers the journey in either direction: arrival from Rethymno Town, or the departure run back from Chersonissos at the same fixed fare.
Fares are per vehicle, not per person, and cover the whole car, so a family of four pays once. The price you see is the price confirmed on your voucher; it does not change with traffic, time of day, or a delayed flight.

Your driver comes to the door of your hotel, apartment or address in Rethymno at the time on your voucher. City pickups are door-to-door, so there is no meeting point to find.
Rethymno sits midway along the north coast, roughly an hour from each of Crete's two airports, and that position is why it is a pickup point at all. Rethymno gives guests staying in the middle of the island a start point that does not require driving to Heraklion or Chania first.
The old town, between the Fortezza and the harbour, is largely pedestrianised. Where a hotel sits inside it the driver arranges the nearest legal stopping point and confirms it before the day, so nobody is left waiting on a street a car cannot enter.
Journeys in both directions use the national road along the coast, which keeps timings predictable even in August.
At your accommodation's entrance, or the closest legal stopping point when the address sits inside the old town.
Your driver calls ahead if there is any doubt about where the vehicle can wait.
Give us the pickup address and a contact number at booking. Your driver waits at the agreed time and calls if the entrance is not reachable.
Tell us as early as you can if your plans change, so the driver can be rescheduled.
Chersonissos is the largest resort on Crete's north coast, built along a seafront strip east of Heraklion in the municipality of the same name. Chersonissos grew from a fishing harbour into a full resort town, and the old harbour is still the centre of it, ringed by tavernas and the boats that run day trips along the coast.
The resort divides clearly in two. The seafront and the main road carry the bars, the shops and the nightlife; the hillside villages behind it, Koutouloufari and Piskopiano, stay quiet and stone-built. Guests often book one expecting the other, so it is worth knowing which side of that line your hotel sits on.
The beach runs east from the harbour in a series of sandy bays broken by rock. Two of Crete's largest waterparks sit within a few minutes of the strip, which is why the resort draws families as heavily as it draws younger visitors.
We drop you at the door of your hotel, apartment or villa, on the seafront or up in the hillside villages.
The strip is one-way in places and closed to traffic at its busiest in high season. Where that applies, the driver uses the nearest hotel entrance the vehicle can reach rather than leaving you to walk the last stretch with luggage.
Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation in Chersonissos. There is no central drop-off point and no walk with your luggage at the end. These are properties in the resort we transfer guests to regularly; if yours is not listed, it is still covered, so enter the name when you book.
Villas, apartments and private addresses in Chersonissos are served the same way. Add the address at booking and the fare stays as quoted.
The return leg is the same journey in reverse: 104.0 km (64.6 mi), about 1 hr 34 min, and the same fixed fare from €130 per vehicle. Your driver collects you from your accommodation in Chersonissos at the agreed time and takes you straight to Rethymno Town.
Book both directions together and the return is held at the same fare. Switch the form at the top of this page to Departure, or select a return when you book.
We set your departure pickup from your flight or sailing time and the 1 hr 34 min drive, then confirm the exact time on your voucher. Tell us your flight number at booking and we work backwards from it.
The fare covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat, so 4 people pay the same as 1. The price on your voucher is the price you pay, with no booking fee and no card surcharge.
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name on it. You walk out of baggage reclaim straight to the car, without joining a taxi rank or agreeing a fare on the spot.
Child seats cost nothing extra. Reserve the seat in the booking form and state the child's age, so the correct seat is fitted before the driver sets off.
Cancel at least 24 hours before your pickup time and you pay nothing. Plans change; the booking does not lock you in.
The vehicle carries your party and nobody else. It runs from the pickup point to your exact address, with no intermediate stops and no waiting for other passengers.
Your pickup is set against your flight number, not a clock time. Transfers run at any hour, which covers night landings and pre-dawn departures.
Every booking is confirmed by a person and carries a voucher showing your route, vehicle, pickup time and fare.
These are the questions guests ask most often about the Rethymno Town to Chersonissos transfer, answered with this route's own distance, duration and fares.
Anything not covered here is answered when we confirm the booking.
Per vehicle. The fare covers the car and everyone in it, up to that vehicle's passenger and luggage limit. Two people and four people pay the same €130 for a Standard car to Chersonissos.
Yes, at no extra charge. Reserve the seat in the booking form and state the child's age so the correct infant, child or booster seat is fitted before the driver sets off.
The driver arranges the nearest legal stopping point and confirms it before the day, so nobody is left waiting on a pedestrianised lane. Give the accommodation name as well as the street when you book.
Yes. Cancel at least 24 hours before your pickup time and there is no charge.
Pay by card online when you book, or in euros in cash to the driver. There is no card surcharge and no booking fee either way.
You receive a confirmation email with your route, vehicle, pickup time and fare on it. Check the details and tell us if anything is wrong. An automated receipt on its own is not the confirmation. The emailed voucher is.
Yes. Rethymno Town to Chersonissos and Chersonissos to Rethymno Town are the same journey at the same fixed €130, and both directions are booked from this page. Select a return when you book and the price is held for both legs.
Those routes are priced the same way as this one: a fixed fare per vehicle, confirmed before you travel. The same applies to every Crete taxi we run, from the airports and ports to the resorts and villages along both coasts.
