Who This Is For
AntalyaTransfers.co works with:
- Individual drivers — own a sedan or minivan, want regular airport work
- Small agencies — 2–10 vehicles, want to fill capacity gaps and reach international passengers
- Hotel shuttle drivers — looking for additional income outside hotel contracts
- Minibus operators — 9–14 seat vehicles for group and resort transfers
You work independently — we are not your employer. We send you customers who have already agreed to a fixed price. You complete the transfer and get paid.
What You Earn
Example earnings based on real 2026 transfer prices:
| Route | Distance | Driver payout (after 15% commission) |
|---|---|---|
| AYT ↔ Lara Beach | 10 km | €13–17 |
| AYT ↔ Belek | 43 km | €21–30 |
| AYT ↔ Side | 65 km | €38–47 |
| AYT ↔ Alanya | 125 km | €64–77 |
| AYT ↔ Kaş | 200 km | €102–119 |
Peak season (June–September) estimate: 5 transfers per day × average €50 payout = €250/day. Working 25 days per month = €6,250/month gross.
Low season (November–March): 1–3 transfers per day. Antalya has year-round demand from medical tourism, golf tourism, and business travellers — it is not a zero-income winter.
Night transfers (22:00–06:00) carry a 30% passenger surcharge, which flows through to your payout — night runs earn proportionally more.
How the Platform Works
Step 1 — Register. Fill in the form at antalyatransfers.co/en/drivers or send "I want to drive" to our WhatsApp (+90 531 597 22 34). Provide: vehicle details, driving licence, and a photo of the vehicle interior.
Step 2 — Receive orders. When a passenger books a route that matches your location and vehicle type, you receive a notification on WhatsApp or the app. The notification includes: passenger name, flight number, hotel address, and the total fare.
Step 3 — Complete transfer and collect payment. Pick up the passenger from the Arrivals Hall holding their name sign. Transfer them to their hotel. Collect payment (cash or card). Done.
Flight tracking: The system monitors the passenger's flight in real time. If the flight is delayed, you are notified automatically — no wasted waiting at the airport.
Prices are pre-agreed. The passenger knows the price before they land. There is no haggling, no meter negotiation, no ambiguity.
Vehicle Requirements
We accept the following vehicle categories:
- Sedan — Toyota Corolla, VW Passat, Skoda Octavia or equivalent. Up to 3 passengers + 3 suitcases.
- Minivan / MPV — VW Transporter T6/T7, Mercedes Vito, Ford Transit Custom. Up to 6 passengers.
- VIP Sedan — Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series. Premium price tier, up to 3 passengers.
- Minibus — 9–14 seat vehicles. Group transfers, high demand.
Vehicle must be 2017 or newer, clean interior, roadworthy. Commercial insurance required.
Legal Requirements in Turkey
To operate legally as a private transfer driver in Antalya:
- Valid driving licence (B category for vehicles up to 9 seats)
- Commercial vehicle registration (ticari araç)
- SRC professional competence certificate (for commercial passenger transport)
- Commercial vehicle insurance (not standard private insurance)
If you already work as a licensed taxi or transfer driver in Antalya, you likely meet all requirements. If you are new to commercial transport, we can advise on the licensing process during onboarding.
Drivers operating under our platform agreement can do so as contracted operators — a separate T-plate (tourism plate) is not mandatory in all cases.
Why Work With a Platform Instead of Independently
Many experienced Antalya drivers start independently but face the same problems:
- Finding customers is expensive and time-consuming (airport queues, hotel deals, advertising)
- Low season means empty days with no income
- No-shows from tourists who arranged rides informally
- Price negotiation with every passenger wastes time and creates conflict
Our platform eliminates all of this. Customers are pre-booked and prepaid. You accept only the orders that suit your schedule. The system handles marketing, payments, and flight monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to join the platform?
Registration is free. We charge 15% commission on each completed transfer. No monthly fees, no upfront costs.
How many orders can I expect per day?
In peak season (June–September), active drivers typically receive 4–8 orders per day. In low season 1–3 is typical. You can accept or decline each order freely.
Do I need to speak English?
Basic communication is helpful but not mandatory. You greet passengers with a name sign. The app provides quick-phrase translation for common situations. Many of our drivers speak Turkish only and operate successfully.
When do I get paid?
Earnings are transferred to your bank account weekly. First payment is processed 7 days after your first completed transfer.
Can I work only on weekends or certain days?
Yes. You set your own availability. The system only sends you orders on days you mark as available.
What if a passenger does not show up?
Bookings are prepaid by the passenger. If a passenger does not collect their transfer within the waiting period, you receive a cancellation fee. Genuine no-show situations are rare because passengers have already paid.
I own a minibus — are group transfers available?
Yes. There is a separate vehicle category for 9–14 seat minibuses. Group transfers command higher fares and are in demand year-round (wedding groups, sports clubs, tour groups, corporate transfers).
How do I register?
Fill in the form at antalyatransfers.co/en/drivers, or send a WhatsApp message to +90 531 597 22 34 saying "I want to join as a driver." You will hear back within 24 hours.
