Accepted currencies and methods
| Method | Notes |

| Visa | Accepted via secure online checkout at booking |
| Mastercard | Accepted via secure online checkout at booking |

Payment is made securely online by card at booking. The payment is collected by Dmitry Kulish, Individual Entrepreneur registered in Georgia, acting as merchant of record. No payment to the driver is required.
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. The transfer is paid securely online by card at booking, so there is nothing to settle on the day. No payment to the driver is required — you simply meet your driver and travel.
Receipts and invoices
A receipt for your online card payment is provided by the merchant 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 |
| Hotel arranged transfer | High — room charge | Some — hotel sets EUR rate | Yes |
The advantage of a fixed-EUR pre-booked transfer: you know exactly what you are paying before you land. No post-trip surprises on the card statement.
Tips for travellers from Russia and Eastern Europe
Russian travellers represent one of Antalya's largest visitor groups. Key payment notes:
Rubles are not accepted. Payment is made securely online by card at booking, and the price is charged in EUR. Ensure your card can process EUR transactions.
Mastercard and Visa from Russian banks: As of 2026, Russian-issued Mastercard and Visa cards may have limited international acceptance depending on the issuing bank. Check with your bank before travel that your card can complete an online EUR payment.
MIR cards: Not currently supported for online card payment. Use a Visa or Mastercard that can process EUR transactions.
UnionPay (Chinese visitors): Not currently supported. Use a Visa or Mastercard that can process EUR transactions.
Child seats for international travellers: Free child seats on request — infant (0–13 kg), toddler (9–18 kg), booster (15–36 kg). Specify the child's age and weight at booking. Payment for the transfer does not affect child seat availability.
Currency at Antalya Airport Terminal 2
You do not need cash for the transfer itself — it is paid securely online by card at booking. The notes below are simply 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).
