### How much does an Antalya airport transfer cost?

Private transfer prices from Antalya Airport are fixed: €50 sedan to Konyaaltı (15 km), €55 to Lara (18 km), €80 to Belek (43 km), €100 to Side (65 km), €160 to Alanya (130 km), and €220 to Kaş (200 km). Minivan prices are higher per route — see the table below. These prices cover 1–3 passengers (sedan) or 1–6 passengers (minivan) and include all tolls and meet-and-greet service.

|---|---|---|---|---|

### Is there a night surcharge for late arrivals?

Yes. Transfers between 23:00 and 06:00 (Turkish time, UTC+3) carry a 30% surcharge. For example, a Belek sedan at €80 × 1.30 = €104 for a night arrival. The surcharge applies automatically based on your scheduled arrival time and is shown clearly at the booking stage — there are no hidden fees.

### How do I pay for the transfer?

Yes. Payment is made securely online by card at booking. Rubles are not accepted — if you are travelling from Russia, ensure your card accepts EUR transactions.

### Do you accept credit cards? Which ones?

Payment is made securely online by card at the booking stage — Visa, Mastercard, and other major networks are accepted. The fare is charged in EUR by the merchant of record (Dmitry Kulish, Individual Entrepreneur, Georgia). No cash and no payment to the driver are involved.

### Are prices fixed or can they change after booking?

Prices are fixed at the time of booking. Once you receive a confirmation, the price does not change regardless of traffic, route variations, or time of day (the night surcharge is applied at booking based on your scheduled arrival time, not recalculated at pickup). The only exception: if you significantly change the destination after booking, the price is adjusted to reflect the new route.

### Is there a charge for extra luggage?

No charge for standard luggage within vehicle capacity (2 large cases for sedan, 4 for minivan, 8 for minibus). Oversized items — golf bags (hard shell), bicycle boxes, wheelchair, ski equipment — count toward the luggage capacity. If you have more luggage than the vehicle category supports, book the next vehicle size up. There is no per-bag fee. If in doubt about whether your luggage fits, add a note to the booking comments and the driver will confirm.

### How do I find my driver at Antalya Airport?

Exit customs in Terminal 2 and walk through the automatic sliding doors. Your driver is on the ground floor, exit after customs, in the transfer company meeting area, holding a printed A4 sign with your surname. The waiting area is visible from 20 metres. If you cannot see your sign, connect to AYT-Free-Wifi and WhatsApp your driver — their number is in your confirmation.

### What happens if my flight is delayed?

Nothing you need to do. The booking system tracks your flight in real time using your flight number. If your flight is delayed 30 minutes, your driver waits. If it is delayed 3 hours, the driver's dispatch time is automatically recalculated so they do not wait at the airport for hours. Delays of any length do not affect the confirmed price. If a delay shifts your arrival to after 23:00, the night surcharge may apply — you will be notified by WhatsApp if this changes your price.

### How far in advance should I book?

For routes to Lara, Konyaaltı, Belek, and City Center, booking 2 hours before your flight lands is enough. For Alanya, Side, Kemer, and Kaş, book at least 4 hours ahead. In July and August, book 24 hours in advance to guarantee your vehicle type — minivans are the first to sell out. For minibuses (7–12 pax), book 24–48 hours ahead year-round.

### Can I change or cancel my booking?

Yes. Changes and cancellations are free up to 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. To change: WhatsApp (+90 531 597 22 34) or email your booking reference with the new details. Destination changes are repriced; time changes are free. Within 24 hours of pickup, changes are accepted subject to vehicle availability and a 50% cancellation fee applies if you cancel entirely. Flight delays and cancellations outside your control are treated sympathetically — contact support as soon as you know and the booking will be held without penalty.

### What if I can't find my driver?

First: stay inside the arrivals hall (do not exit to the taxi rank or car park). Connect to AYT-Free-Wifi and WhatsApp the driver's number (in your confirmation email). Response is typically prompt. Second option: WhatsApp the support line at +90 531 597 22 34. Third: call the number in your confirmation. Do not accept offers from unofficial drivers approaching you in the hall.

### Is there a free waiting time if I'm late clearing customs?

Yes. All bookings include 60 minutes of free waiting time from the scheduled landing time. This covers normal customs and baggage queues, even on busy summer days. If you have been waiting in a long customs queue and it has been over 60 minutes, your driver will still be there — they track flights and know when congestion at customs is causing delays. For waits beyond 90 minutes (rare), contact the driver directly.

### What vehicles are available?

Four categories: sedan (Toyota Corolla / VW Passat, 1–3 pax, 2 large bags, from €55), minivan (Mercedes Vito / Ford Transit Custom, 1–6 pax, 4 large bags, from €70), VIP sedan (Mercedes E-Class / BMW 5 Series, 1–3 pax, from €90), and minibus (Mercedes Sprinter 9–12 seat, 7–12 pax, 6–8 large bags, from €130). Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available on request.

### Will my golf bag fit in the car?

A hard-shell golf travel bag (standard 130 cm length) does not fit in a sedan alongside other luggage. Book a minivan (€105 to Belek) — it carries 2 golf bags plus 3 standard suitcases. Soft-sided travel bags may fit in a sedan if it is the only large item. For golf groups with 4+ bags, the Sprinter minibus has an underfloor hold.

### Can I bring a baby pushchair?

Yes. A folding pushchair (umbrella type or compact) fits in a sedan boot alongside one standard suitcase. A full-size travel system (e.g. Bugaboo, iCandy) requires a minivan — it sits flat in the cargo area. If you are unsure, book the minivan: it handles every pushchair type without issue.

### What's the maximum luggage for a sedan?

Two large suitcases (90L/28" hard shell, up to 23 kg each) in the boot, plus personal items (backpacks, laptop bags) on passenger seats or laps. A third large case can be carried on the passenger seat in exceptional cases, but this is the absolute limit and should be confirmed at booking. Do not assume the driver can accommodate extra bags without prior arrangement.

### Do minivans have enough space for 6 people with luggage?

Yes, if the luggage is within capacity. Six passengers each with a standard 23 kg suitcase is within the minivan's cargo capacity (4 large cases in the dedicated area + 2 medium bags in the rear cabin). If six passengers each have an additional carry-on bag, it may be tight. Six passengers with golf bags: book a minibus instead.

### Can I hire a minibus for a group?

Yes. Minibuses seat 7–12 passengers and carry 6–8 large suitcases. Price to Belek: €180; to Alanya: €320; to Side: €220. Book at least 24 hours in advance. For 13+ passengers, two vehicles are dispatched — contact support to arrange group pricing.

### Is a baby/child seat available?

Yes, at no extra charge. Three types: infant seat (0–13 kg / birth to ~12 months), toddler seat (9–18 kg / 9 months to ~4 years), booster seat (15–36 kg / 3 years to ~11 years). Request the type and your child's age and weight in the comments at booking. Child seats must be confirmed at booking — not on the day of travel.

### Can I book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?

Yes. Converted wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAV) are available for passengers who need to remain in their wheelchair during the journey. These are not standard minivans — they have a ramp or lift and a wheelchair lock system. Request specifically at booking: add "wheelchair-accessible vehicle required — [manual/powered, dimensions if known]" in the comments. 24 hours notice is required; 48 hours preferred for powered chairs.

### Are Russian/German/Arabic-speaking drivers available?

Russian-speaking drivers: available for most routes with 12 hours notice. This is a priority feature given the large Russian tourist volume at Antalya Airport. German-speaking drivers: available for Belek, Lara, and city routes with 24 hours notice. Arabic: some drivers have conversational Arabic, particularly for Gulf market guests. Specify your language preference in the comments at booking.

### Do you do medical/hospital transfers?

Yes. Medical transfers to and from Antalya's major hospitals — Antalya Medical Park, Memorial Antalya, Anadolu Medical Center, and Antalya Training and Research Hospital — are available 24/7. Medical transfers can be booked for bed-to-bed transport, post-surgery discharge, or accompanying patients between facilities. A wheelchair-accessible or stretcher vehicle can be requested. Book via WhatsApp (+90 531 597 22 34) for medical transfers to confirm specific requirements.

### Can I book multiple transfers in advance?

Yes. You can book an outbound (airport to hotel) and return (hotel to airport) transfer at the same time using the "add return journey" option. For groups needing multiple vehicles across multiple dates (e.g. a golf group arriving across three days), contact support to arrange a group booking with a single confirmation and invoice.

### Is there a service for unaccompanied minors?

Unaccompanied minors (under 18 travelling without an adult guardian) can be accommodated with advance arrangement. The service includes driver identity verification at the terminal — the driver presents their ID and the parent or guardian receives a confirmation photo of the driver and vehicle before departure. WhatsApp progress updates are sent at three points: vehicle boarded, journey under way, arrived at hotel. The hotel front desk can also be notified in advance. This service requires at least 48 hours notice and must be confirmed via WhatsApp or email — it cannot be arranged through the standard booking form alone.

### How long does the transfer from Antalya Airport to Belek take?

Belek is 43 km from Antalya Airport, entirely via the D400 dual carriageway. Typical transfer time: 45 minutes. In July–August during the morning check-out rush (09:00–11:00 Saturdays), allow 60 minutes. Night transfers (23:00–06:00) typically take 35 minutes — the D400 is clear. Your driver departs based on your actual landing time, so they arrive at the hotel at the expected time regardless of when your flight lands.

### What is the fastest route to Lara/Kundu?

Lara is 18 km from Antalya Airport, typically 28 minutes via the D400 and the Lara coastal road. The route is entirely flat and dual carriageway. There is a short tunnel section near the Lara Beach strip — the toll is included in your transfer price. In peak season (July–August), the same journey takes 35–40 minutes during morning check-out traffic. Night transfers take 20 minutes.

### How long does the transfer from Antalya Airport to Side take?

Side is 65 km from Antalya Airport — the journey follows the D400 dual carriageway east the entire way. Typical transfer time: 65 minutes. In July–August, allow 75 minutes. Night transfers take 55 minutes on a clear road. Side combines ancient Roman ruins with a large resort beach zone; the main hotel drop-off zone is the Sorgun forest area and the Side town peninsula. Sedan price: €100; minivan: €130. See the Antalya Airport to Side Transfer for full hotel drop-off detail.

### How long does the transfer from Antalya Airport to Kemer take?

Kemer is 45 km from Antalya Airport — the route heads west on the D400 then climbs into the Taurus foothills on the O-21 motorway. Typical transfer time: 50 minutes. Kemer has distinct sub-zones: Beldibi (€75 sedan, closest to airport), Göynük (€80), Kemer town (€85), Çamyuva (€87), and Tekirova (€95). Confirm your sub-zone when booking as the price varies by zone. Night transfers take 40 minutes.

### T1 vs T2 — which terminal will I arrive at?

Almost all international charter and scheduled flights use Terminal 2 (T2). Your boarding pass will say "ANTALYA T2" — this applies for UK, German, Dutch, Polish, and Russian package holiday flights. Terminal 1 (T1) handles domestic Turkish Airlines and Pegasus flights and a small number of charter operators. Check your boarding pass if unsure. T2 drivers wait at the ground-floor arrivals hall exit after customs; T1 drivers wait immediately past the baggage hall exit on the ground floor. If you arrive at T1 with a T2 booking, message the driver immediately — they reposition in under 10 minutes.

### Do you go to Kaş? How long does it take?

Yes. Kaş is 200 km from Antalya Airport — the longest standard route. Typical journey time: 2 hours 35 minutes (155 minutes). The route follows the D400 to Kemer (45 km, 50 minutes), then the coastal mountain road west through Finike and Demre. After Kemer, the road becomes winding single carriageway through the Taurus foothills — scenic, but speed drops to 50–60 km/h on some sections. Sedan price: €220; minivan: €280.

### Can I get a transfer to a cruise port?

Yes. The Antalya cruise port (Antalya Ticari Liman) is in the city center, 13 km from the airport (22 minutes, €45 sedan). Alanya also has a cruise ship anchorage point — 130 km from the airport, €160 sedan. If your cruise ship docks at a non-standard location, provide the pier name or GPS coordinates in the booking comments.

### What time do most charter flights arrive at Antalya Airport?

The majority of European charter flights from the UK, Germany, Netherlands, and Poland arrive in two windows: morning arrivals (06:00–10:00) from overnight red-eye departures, and afternoon/evening arrivals (14:00–20:00) from morning departures. Russian charter flights from Moscow (SVO, DME), St Petersburg, and other cities concentrate in the 04:00–08:00 and 17:00–22:00 windows. If you arrive between 23:00 and 06:00, the 30% night surcharge applies.

### Is the road to Alanya safe at night?

Yes. The D400 between Antalya Airport and Alanya is a well-lit dual carriageway for the first 90 km. The remaining section through Mahmutlar to Alanya center is a wide regional road with standard lighting. Night driving on this route is routine — drivers make this run daily. Journey time at night is typically 75–80 minutes (vs 90 minutes in daytime traffic). Road conditions are safe year-round; winter rain occasionally causes short delays near Side but does not make the road dangerous.

### Private transfer vs metered taxi vs HAVAS bus

Best for: private transfer is best for resort zones and anyone with luggage. HAVAS bus makes sense only for solo travellers going to Antalya city centre with minimal luggage.
