What the community said

Taxi from Palma hotel to the airport: staff at the lobby entrance ask for $10, while on the street you can negotiate down to $7-8, but there's a risk they show one car and then bring a worse one.

For hotels far from the city center, booking a taxi via app is more convenient and cheaper than waiting for a tour bus. InDrive works in Hurghada and lets you negotiate the fare with the driver.

It's best to pre-book a private airport transfer before departure. Many travelers arrange this online in advance to avoid relying on the tour operator's shuttle bus.
