Questions and answers

Hoper is an innovative door-to-door transport service with fast minivans with a capacity of up to nine people. We do not stop at bus stops or railway stations. The journey is from the address of departure to the address of destination indicated by the passenger, which can be the address of: home, sanatorium, airport, hotel, guest house, dormitory, work establishment, office or any other location. Our services cover all, even the smallest towns within the area of the route. Check our Routes. 

On the page Routes presenting Hoper routes, you can check if a given town is located within the area of our operation.

However, the most convenient form of checking the Hoper connections is the search engine at the top of our website: check if Hoper can take you to the place of destination on the given date by entering the place of departure, place of destination and the date of your journey. After clicking “Find the route”, we will present you travel options along with the ticket price and the APPROXIMATE departure time. 

There are no fixed stops from which we would regularly pick up our passengers. We do not stop at bus stops. Hoper picks up passengers directly from the addresses indicated by them, e.g. home, sanatorium, airport, dormitory, hotel, boarding house etc. and takes them to the selected address in the place of destination.

You can travel with Hoper between the addresses indicated by you during the ticket purchase. You can be picked up and taken to any place in any town which lies within the route operated by Hoper. Check routes.

Unfortunately, we cannot pick you up from the station or take you directly there. The driver can stop in the nearest vicinity of the station, in the place where parking is allowed. 

Due to the door-to-door nature of our transport services, the time of pick-up and arrival indicated in the search results and on the ticket is approximate. It may change depending on the number of passengers and the addresses of departure and destination indicated by them. Therefore, the scheduled and the actual time of your journey may not be the same. The final exact time of departure from the address indicated by you is provided by text message or by phone no later than a few hours before the departure. However, due to varying road conditions, the driver may arrive a little bit earlier or later in relation to the indicated pick-up time. 

The time of each journey with Hoper includes breaks both for the driver and for passengers. It is approximately one 15- minute break every 2-3 hours of driving. Such breaks are usually taken at petrol stations or car parks equipped with infrastructure for travellers (toilets, stores, food service, etc.). If you have any individual preferences as to the time and frequency of taking breaks during your journey, you should report it to the driver – in justified cases, in consultation with other passengers, the driver will try to adapt to your needs. 

You are entitled to a car seat for a child weighing 9-36 kg and a booster seat for older children free of charge. For this purpose, immediately after buying the ticket, you should report the need for a car seat or booster seat at bilety@hoper.pl.
