Compare Terminal Car Prices⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips
- Insist the taxi driver starts the meter; the official fare is 60 TRY start + 70 TRY/km. Refuse unmetered 'special price' quotes above around 2,286 TRY (~€41) for the 31.8 km trip.
- Do not assume every taxi accepts card payment; ask before you ride and carry some Turkish lira, or book a fixed-price transfer that accepts card online.
- Ignore touts inside the arrivals hall offering cheap rides; use the official taxi line, Havaş stop, or a pre-booked driver holding your name.
- For the Havaş shuttle, know which Mahmutlar stop to use: Mehmet Çakır Cd. is near the coast while Mahmutlar Belediye is more central - ask the driver if unsure, as stops are announced.
