Vehicle compatibility — which car fits how many bags
A standard golf travel bag (hard or soft case) measures approximately 130 cm × 35 cm × 25 cm and weighs 10–20 kg including clubs, shoes, and accessories. Boot volume and shape determine capacity:
| Vehicle | Boot volume | Golf bags | Standard suitcases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan (Toyota Corolla / VW Passat class) | ~450L | 2 | 2 |
| VIP Sedan (Mercedes E-Class) | ~540L | 2 (sometimes 3) | 2 |
| Minivan (Mercedes Vito / VW Transporter) | Foldable rear — 1,800L flat | 4 | 6 |
| Minibus (Mercedes Sprinter) | Underfloor bay | 6–8 | 8+ |
For a couple travelling with one set of clubs each, a sedan works well. For four golfers with four bags, a minivan is essential — bags lie completely flat with no stacking.
Extra-large hard cases (over 145 cm) may not fit in a sedan even singly. If your case is non-standard, note the dimensions at booking and we will confirm suitability.
Prices: Airport to all Belek golf resorts
All Belek resorts sit within the Belek Tourism Zone, 43 km from Antalya Airport. The same transfer price applies to every hotel in the zone:
| Vehicle | Passengers | Golf bags | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 1–3 | Up to 2 | €80 |
| VIP Sedan | 1–3 | Up to 2 | €130 |
| Minivan | 1–8 | Up to 4 | €105 |
| Minibus | 1–16 | Up to 8 | €180 |
Night surcharge (22:00–06:00): +30%. Example: a minivan night transfer = €137.
All prices include tolls, meet and greet at Terminal 2, and up to 60 minutes of free waiting after actual landing time.
No extra charge for golf bags — they are standard oversized luggage.
Hard case vs soft case for travel
Hard cases (brands: PowaKaddy, BagBoy, CaddyDaddy) offer the best protection for club heads and shafts. They stack efficiently in a minivan — the flat rectangular base allows secure positioning without rolling. Downside: heavier (3–5 kg empty), adding to airline baggage weight.
Soft cases (neoprene or polyester) are lighter and easier to collapse after use. They require internal padding for club head protection. Soft cases can be squeezed into tighter spaces, but items stacked on top can damage clubs if the padding is insufficient.
For the road transfer itself, either type is safe — the driver handles bags carefully and does not stack them. Hard cases are preferable if you are concerned about the airline handling.
Tip: If using a hard case, remove the ball pocket and any protruding accessories before loading. This reduces the effective case length by 3–5 cm and helps with tight boot fits.
Route from the airport to Belek
The driver leaves Terminal 2 and joins the D400 highway heading east. The D400 is a well-maintained dual carriageway for the entire 45 km to the Belek exit. The Belek Tourism Zone begins at a security barrier approximately 3 km after the D400 exit; your driver knows the gate procedure.
Journey time: 45 minutes in free-flowing traffic. In July–August between 13:00 and 19:00, the D400 around Antalya city can add 20–30 minutes — worst case is 70 minutes. Early morning arrivals (before 10:00) and night arrivals (after 21:00) are consistently under 50 minutes.
The road passes through flat agricultural plain east of Antalya before the pine forests of Belek become visible. Hotel signage starts approximately 5 km before the zone entrance.
Hotel arrivals and golf bag storage
Security gates: The Belek Tourism Zone has a security barrier at the zone entrance. Your driver handles this — give your name and hotel reservation to the guard. Within the zone, individual hotel driveways have their own boom gates (Cornelia Diamond: 24-hour security barrier; give your name and reservation reference; Gloria Golf Resort: two entrances — your driver takes the main hotel entrance by default unless you specify the golf club entrance separately).
At the hotel: All major Belek golf resorts operate a golf bag storage system. On arrival, your driver will take bags to the main lobby; a golf porter meets you and takes the bags directly to the bag room or pro shop. You do not carry clubs to your room.
Overnight storage: Gloria, Cornelia, Regnum Carya, and Rixos all offer overnight bag storage in a climate-controlled bag room. Clubs are cleaned after each round at most properties (check with the pro shop). Storage between arrival and first tee time is included in the resort fee.
At departure: Confirm bag collection time with the pro shop the evening before departure. Most resorts will transport bags to the lobby for your pickup time.
Night transfers with golf bags
Many golfers arrive on charter flights that land between 22:00 and 02:00. Night transfers carry the +30% surcharge. Example calculations:
| Vehicle | Day rate | Night rate (22:00–06:00) |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan | €80 | €104 |
| Minivan | €105 | €137 |
Night arrivals are often smoother — no D400 congestion, Belek zone gates are manned 24 hours, and the hotel golf reception is usually closed but the main desk handles bag storage.
If you have an early tee time on day of arrival (e.g. 08:00), ensure the pro shop is notified in advance to have the bag room open and clubs clean. Most resorts accommodate this with a note at booking.
Travelling with a group of golfers
Golf groups typically travel in sets of 4–8 players, each with a travel bag. Planning the vehicle split correctly avoids extra trips:
| Group size | Sets of clubs | Recommended vehicle |
|---|---|---|
| 2 players | 2 bags | Sedan (fits perfectly) |
| 3–4 players | 3–4 bags | Minivan |
| 5–8 players | 5–8 bags | Minivan (for 4 bags) + Sedan for passengers, or Minibus |
| 9–12 players | 9–12 bags | Minibus |
For groups of 8+ with full sets, one minibus handles passengers and bags efficiently. Two minivans may be required if bag count exceeds 8.

Comparison: private transfer vs taxi vs hotel shuttle
| Option | Price to Belek | Golf bags | Booking required | Flight tracking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (AntalyaTransfers) | €80 sedan / €105 minivan | Yes — declare at booking | Yes | Yes |
| Airport taxi (yellow cab) | €120–160 (metered) | Sedan only — 1–2 bags | No | No |
| Hotel shuttle | €80–150 per person | Usually yes | Yes (via hotel) | No |
| Public bus + dolmuş | €8–12 per person | No — buses do not accept golf bags | No | No |
The private transfer is consistently the cheapest option for groups of 2+ compared to taxis, and the only option that guarantees golf bag accommodation for larger groups.
Airport taxis can accommodate a single set of clubs in the boot, but for two players with two bags, you will likely need two taxis — effectively doubling the taxi cost.
Child seats for golf family trips
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.
Golf family trips where one partner plays and the other travels with children are common in Belek. A minivan comfortably accommodates 2 golf bags, 2 standard suitcases, a child seat fitted in the rear cabin, and 4–5 passengers. Declare both the golf bags and the child seat type at booking.

Which Belek hotel has the best golf club storage?
Gloria Golf Resort, Cornelia Diamond, and Regnum Carya all have professional bag rooms with overnight storage and club cleaning service. Rixos Premium Belek uses the adjacent Antalya Golf Club bag room.

+30% applies between 22:00–06:00. A sedan night transfer is €104 instead of the daytime €80. Many charter golf flights arrive at night, so this cost is worth budgeting.

Your driver waits at Terminal 2 Arrivals, ground floor, exit after customs, in the transfer company meeting area, holding a sign with your name. The meeting point is immediately past the customs exit doors — you cannot miss the driver row.
Do I need to declare golf bags when booking?
Yes. Note the number of bags (e.g. "2 golf travel bags, hard case") in the booking notes field. This confirms the driver brings the right vehicle and does not inadvertently dispatch a sedan for a 4-bag group.
