Meeting your driver at Antalya Airport
After passing through baggage reclaim and customs, walk out into the arrivals terminal where your driver will be waiting with a name board. We own and operate our fleet, and our employed drivers handle your transfer from start to finish.
If your flight is delayed, our system tracks incoming flight data in real time. Your driver adjusts their arrival time accordingly, so someone is always there to greet you when you arrive, with no extra charges for flight delays.
Navigating Kaleiçi's historic streets
Kaleiçi features narrow cobbled lanes, historic archways, and pedestrianised zones. Because of town planning rules and physical width restrictions, large vehicles cannot drive down every street inside the old walls.
Our drivers know the exact access points and municipal regulations for Kaleiçi. We will take you directly to your hotel door whenever road access permits. If your hotel is located on a strictly pedestrian lane, your driver will pull up at the closest permitted point and assist you with your luggage.
Useful arrival tips
- Have your hotel contact details ready: Showing your booking confirmation with the local hotel telephone number helps your driver coordinate the best drop-off location inside the old town walls.
- Child safety seats: If you are travelling with toddlers or infants, request child seats when booking. We install them prior to pickup at no extra charge.
- Direct service: You will not share your vehicle with other passengers or make multiple hotel stops along the way.
