⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Insist the taxi meter is on; for 5 km to Otogar the fare should be about 455 TRY, not a flat price without meter.
  • Ignore touts inside the arrivals hall offering unregistered rides; use the official taxi rank or pre-booked name-board pickup.
  • Confirm card payment before the taxi ride, as some drivers may say the card machine is broken.
  • On Havaş, buy your ticket only from the on-board staff, not from anyone outside the coach offering to 'help'.
