Resorthoppa/A2B Question

[Scunner]

Silly question maybe...

I know the two companies are owned by the same people (I didn't know that till quite recently) - but do you travel on the same bus irrespective of who you booked with, or do A2B have their bus and Resorthoppa another..?

I'm sure at Dalaman (and at Faro) they were completely separate kiosks and buses, which is surely daft.

The bus we used last,had dual logo's on the side, we thought maybe they had formed some sort of co-operative to avoid running with empty seats.

here is one for me    Hoppa was bought over last year by A2B Transfers making their pax numbers double and I had a nervous breakdown in July 2012    They still though sell as different companies with different websites but are under the same umbrella. Maybe in some countries they use two different agents as maybe Hoppa had loyal agents which they used for years and vice versa but Izmir Bodrum and Dalaman is contracted to us.

Bet you regret asking now

This summer I booked with A2B and my cousin booked with Resort Hoppa we both went to the same desk at Dalaman and were on the same bus to Calis.. Also this summer I booked hubby and I both through A2B but we were on different flights both landing with 15 mins of each other, both going to the same drop off point and we were down for separate buses, I did point out this seemed rther stupid and a possible waste of fuel so we were told in the end to both get on the same bus

A good explanation Diz

I don't mind which one of the two I book, I go for the cheapest

Which makes you wonder, if everything is the same, why is one cheaper

And here in Didim, previous bookings made with them, use other
local companies arranged by Sarpendon Travel in Fethiye

Hmm not sure why one is sometimes is cheaper than the other   Good question!!! Maybe to keep both names popular in the industry!  But whichever you book you are stuck with me unfortunately     

[Scunner]

We'll manage   

It's often significantly less but interestingly (vaguely) I have found it can be either that is cheaper, never always the same one.

I went to make a booking with Resort Hopper for the first time, at the payment stage they wanted £3 for a card handling fee, so I went back to the A2B website they only charge £1 booking fee

Isn't Resorta Hoppa the more expensive because you can actually pay the driver cash each way for the journey,A2/B you pay up front,up front ,up front with a credit card!
