Alanya Taxi Service: Two Hours by Taxi or a Fixed-Price Transfer?
Alanya is one of the longest common taxi journeys from Antalya Airport – about 125 km and two hours. On a trip this long, the difference between a metered taxi and a fixed-price transfer is substantial, both in cost and in comfort.
A taxi from the rank
Licensed taxis queue outside the terminals at Antalya Airport and charge by the meter. For a two-hour drive, the fare depends heavily on traffic and is only known at the end. Taxis are usually saloon cars with space for four and limited room for suitcases. Some drivers on the rank prefer not to take long-distance fares at busy times, and the queue can be long on summer evenings.
A pre-booked transfer
An Airlinel transfer to Alanya is a fixed €75 for the vehicle, paid online before you travel. The car is a Mercedes Vito with 6 seats and room for 6 large suitcases. The driver waits in arrivals with your name; we follow your flight, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
