- Use only the official taxi rank outside the terminal; ignore touts offering 'cheap' rides in the arrivals hall.
- Agree the fare or confirm the meter before loading bags, as airport taxis may quote per-destination fixed prices that vary.
- Do not pay for a 'direct bus to Ölüdeniz/Hisarönü' — no airport bus goes there; you must change at Fethiye Otogar.
- Pay the Muttaş bus by card; the driver should not ask for cash, and there are no tolls on this route.
