⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Insist the driver uses the meter (start 52 TRY + 65 TRY/km). Agree the price before leaving if the meter is unavailable, and confirm whether card payment is accepted.
  • Do not accept lifts from touts inside the terminal or outside the exit; use the official taxi rank or your pre-booked transfer driver with a name sign.
  • Shared shuttle prices are quoted per person in EUR; confirm the total and hotel drop-off location before paying, and book through your hotel or a known operator.
  • There is no Havaş or city bus directly from NAV; anyone selling a direct public bus or train ticket from the airport is likely a scam.
