Lara Beach Taxi Service: Taxi Rank or Pre-Booked Car for a Short Trip?

Lara Beach is close enough to Antalya Airport that many visitors simply plan to take a taxi. That is a perfectly reasonable choice – but a pre-booked transfer at a fixed price often costs about the same and removes the uncertainty. Here is a fair comparison.

Taxis from the rank

Licensed taxis wait outside the terminal buildings and charge by the meter. To Lara the fare depends on the exact hotel, the route and the traffic, and you pay at the end. The cars are usually saloons for up to four passengers. When several international flights land at once – common on summer evenings – the queue at the rank can be long.

A pre-booked transfer

An Airlinel transfer to Lara or Kundu costs a fixed €35 per vehicle, booked and paid before you travel. The car is a Mercedes Vito with 6 seats and space for 6 large suitcases. Your driver waits in arrivals with your name on a sign; we follow your flight, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.

Which suits you?

• One or two people with little luggage: a taxi from the rank may cost about the same; choose whichever you prefer.
• Families and groups up to six: one Vito instead of two taxis, at one fixed price.
• Late-night arrivals: a named driver waiting inside the terminal instead of a queue outside.
• With children: free child seats with a transfer.

Getting around Lara

For short trips within Lara – to the TerraCity shopping centre, the Lower Düden waterfall on the cliffs or a restaurant along the coast road – local taxis are quick and easy. Antalya’s old town, Kaleiçi, is about 18 km from Lara Beach; with evening traffic, a pre-booked car with a fixed price is the calmer option.
