Payment is made to the driver on arrival.
Price protection: no exchange rate risk
Your price is fixed in EUR at the time of booking. If the EUR/TRY exchange rate changes between booking and travel, your price does not change. You pay the EUR amount stated at booking — no more.
This is a key advantage over Turkish taxi drivers, who may quote in Lira at unfavourable rates or adjust prices based on exchange rate movements.
Do I need to bring cash for the transfer?
No. Payment is made to the driver on arrival — in cash (EUR, USD or GBP) or by card.
Receipts and invoices
A receipt is available from the driver on request. For corporate trips requiring an invoice, contact us before travel with your company details; we issue invoices via email after the transfer.
Comparison: payment options at Antalya Airport
| Option | Convenience | Exchange rate risk | Receipt available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked private transfer (EUR fixed) | High — price known in advance | None — EUR locked | Yes |
| Metered taxi (TRY) | Medium — flag it down | Yes — TRY rate varies | Rarely |
| Metered taxi (negotiate in EUR) | Low — must negotiate | Some — driver sets rate | Rarely |

The advantage of a fixed-EUR pre-booked transfer: you know exactly what you are paying before you land. No post-trip surprises.
Tips for travellers from Russia and Eastern Europe
Russian travellers represent one of Antalya's largest visitor groups. Key payment notes:

Currency at Antalya Airport Terminal 2
The transfer is paid to the driver on arrival, in cash (EUR, USD or GBP) or by card. The notes below are general travel information for your stay.
ATMs are available in the Terminal 2 Arrivals hall, before exiting to the taxi/transfer rank. Multiple ATM providers — look for those without excessive fees (avoid Euronet if you have the choice; local Turkish bank ATMs typically offer better rates).
