⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the metered taxi rank at the terminal; ignore touts inside arrivals offering unmetered rides, as they may charge far more than the official tariff.
  • For taxis, insist the driver starts the meter or fix the Ürgüp price before leaving, even though Nevşehir taxi tariff is 52 TRY plus 65 TRY per km.
  • Confirm whether the taxi accepts card before you get in, since not all Cappadocia taxis have working card machines.
  • Shared shuttles must be booked in advance and meet flights only when booked; do not expect a Havaş or public city bus at NAV.
