⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Ignore taxi touts inside the arrivals hall and only use the official taxi rank outside; unofficial drivers can overcharge or operate without a meter.
  • Always insist the driver starts the meter. A flat fare much higher than the metered 3,490–4,535 TRY range for Silivri indicates a scam.
  • If paying by taxi card, confirm before the ride. Licensed taxis accept cards in many cases, but not all cabs have working terminals.
  • Buy Havaist tickets only on board with Istanbulkart/contactless or from official machines; do not buy from people offering tickets in the hall.
